SECOND LOOK CREATIVE
Rescue the rendering. Sell the vision.
We take the C-minus CGI already on the OM, Crexi page, or investor deck and return photoreal stills in 48–72 hours. Need motion? We cut a short film from those stills — licensed score on every cut; voiceover where the package includes it.
Same building. Same camera. Different light, glass, sky, and life.
THE PROBLEM
Spec buildings do not get a second art budget. The architect exported a daylight still, the listing went live, and that image is now the first thing a tenant, lender, or LP sees. Empty truck court. Plastic noon sky. Glass that does not reflect. People who look like clip art.
That still is costing tours.
WHAT WE DO
Send the existing views — CGI, renderings, or photography. We relight, populate, correct glass and landscape, and push the still to dusk or golden hour without reopening the model. Stills back in 48–72 hours — pick your count. If the raise needs a film, we animate and edit those stills into a short film (:20–:90) with a licensed score. Voiceover where the package includes it. Already photoreal? We can animate as-is — no rescue.
WHAT WE DO NOT DO
We do not start from SketchUp. We do not replace your architect. We do not spend three weeks on a fly-through you will use once. If you need a full 3D package from scratch, that is a different engagement.

Those tools invent a building. We stay on your building. Massing, camera, and facade stay true to the file you send.
No. The exported still is enough. The model helps if you have it.
No. We do not add wings, move docks, or restyle the skin. We fix light, sky, glass, landscape, and life.
You do, for that project. We keep a before/after pair for the book unless you say otherwise.
