Architectural Animation in Bentonville: Cinematic Flythroughs

Architectural Animation in Bentonville: Cinematic Flythroughs

Quick answer: In Bentonville, architectural animation is cinematic 3D video of an unbuilt project, modeled from plans. Bentonville is home to Walmart's world headquarters and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, pulling relocating corporate and retail professionals from across the country on tight hiring timelines. Developers use flythroughs to pre-sell off-plan condos to relocating Walmart corporate and retail professionals and to raise capital.

Bentonville is home to Walmart's world headquarters and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, pulling relocating corporate and retail professionals from across the country on tight hiring timelines. A cinematic animation does two jobs at once here: it pre-sells off-plan product to relocating Walmart corporate and retail professionals, and it helps raise the capital and lender confidence to build it.

Where animation fits Bentonville

  • Arrival and context sequences. Animation moves through the lobby, amenity spaces and the setting in motion, which a still cannot.
  • Storytelling for relocating buyers. A flythrough moves through the walkable context and experience, which often sells the district as much as any single unit.
  • Capital and lender presentations. A flythrough with an investor package and pitch deck helps capital see a project.
