CAMPUS CENTER AND RESIDENCE HALL

Georgetown Preparatory School is America’s oldest Jesuit boarding school located in North Bethesda, Maryland. With a 93-acre campus for nearly 500 students, the school has big plans for future development and growth with their newly planned Campus Center and Residence Hall designed by Cox Graae + Spack Architects. IMD created animation videos to support fundraising efforts to make this dream a reality.

Over a span of twelve weeks, IMD worked in collaboration with both the Architect and School representatives to take key goals for the project and create visuals that would clearly communicate the vision. Our goal was to inform and inspire the audience, help Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School meet their fundraising goal, and ultimately, break ground for construction.

A combination of visuals tells their story; a series of 3D Renderings and two Animated films provide a full overview of the many areas throughout the Residence Hall and new Campus Center. Particular attention was given to showcasing the new residential building, equipped with both student dorms and faculty apartments. Features such as the Family-style Kitchen and Living Room areas bring a sense of home, while the Assembly Hall is the attractive point of gathering for a larger group.

Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School launched "For the Greater Glory" Legacy campaign in late 2021.

METROPOLITAN SCHOOL OF PANAMA

METROPOLITAN SCHOOL OF PANAMA

This project was a brand new school building in a new location. The client needed an animation to show off the school and market it to new and existing students and families. IMD started with the old model of school and remodeled it in a few areas to make it compatible with the new software. The original file was old and outdated. 

The school was excited to show people in the school animation, but requested the students in the animation be wearing school uniforms, different color uniforms for each grade level. The client also requested custom furniture be included in the representation. IMD also worked with the construction and architect changes as the project progressed, trying to mimic the most accurate representation of the vision.

The visual success of the animation and 360º Tour for this project were also able to virtually onboard new and existing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Crested Butte Center for the Arts

Crested butte Center for the arts

Designed as a reflection of the community’s distinctive culture and geography, visitors and community members alike are meant to feel at home in the space. The faceted main roof recalls the gabled roofs of the historic town buildings and the angular silhouette of near-by Mt. Crested Butte. The multipurpose, double-height lobby under the central roof combines massive wood structural members, textured copper, and rich fabrics within floor-to-ceiling glass walls to create a warm interior environment. As the Center’s hub, the lobby connects users to the 300-seat theatre, art gallery, dance spaces, and art studios.

Original Fundraising Video

In 1985 a determined group of Crested Butte residents converted a county maintenance garage into a community arts center. Today, that same building has been pushed beyond its capacity to try to fulfill the changing cultural needs of the community. In collaboration with the architectural firm Holzman Moss Bottino, and Visualization done by Illustrate My Design, this video show the future expansion of the center. It will include art studios, rehearsal rooms, a 330 flexible seat theater, and more.

This animation clip features the 330 flexible seat theater, which accommodates a wide variety of performances including theater style seating, rock concert with dance pit, dinner and a show, even aerial dancing performances.
