Architectural Animation in West Des Moines: Cinematic Flythroughs

Quick answer: In West Des Moines, architectural animation is cinematic 3D video of an unbuilt project, modeled from plans. West Des Moines is building fast around the Jordan Creek Town Center corridor, a magnet for corporate offices and relocating professionals working in the Des Moines metro's insurance and financial-services core. Developers use flythroughs to pre-sell off-plan condos to relocating insurance and financial-services professionals and to raise capital.

West Des Moines is building fast around the Jordan Creek Town Center corridor, a magnet for corporate offices and relocating professionals working in the Des Moines metro's insurance and financial-services core. A cinematic animation does two jobs at once here: it pre-sells off-plan product to relocating insurance and financial-services professionals, and it helps raise the capital and lender confidence to build it.

Where animation fits West Des Moines

  • 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.
