Pursuit sequence

Your model and your schedule in. A pursuit sequence out in ten business days.

One correction round. An mp4, six stills, a link you can scrub, and an assumptions sheet. When the dates move, the same cameras re-render.

Send a model

A small building, course by course, base first.

Bungalow, Lot 3 Alder Lane · floor framing, stage 4 of 20, then the shell. A sample, not a client job. 20 seconds from a 70 second film.

01 Problem

The file you are handed is the finished building.

Formwork, scaffold, the crane and the fence are the job the interview is scoring. A picture of the finished model does not show month eight.

Show the super what is inside the wall before it is closed.

02 Method

One model. The sequence comes off it.

  1. Send one IFC and one schedule. Schedules can be P6, MS Project, CSV or Excel. Add your logo and the interview date.
  2. Activities that do not match the model are listed before the film is made.
  3. The names on screen are the names in the schedule. The crane, the fence and the scaffold can be in the picture.
  4. Your logo leads the frame. Stereobate stays a small credit at the end of the title, unless the contract leaves it out.

03 Films

A sample sequence.

Caption

Bungalow, Lot 3 Alder Lane. Floor framing through the shell, stages 1 to 20. The film runs 70 s.

A sample building, not a client job.

04 Refresh

Move the rough-in. The cameras stay.

A new schedule on the same shots re-dates the film and re-renders only the frames that changed.

On the bungalow, plumbing, HVAC and electrical rough-in moved from days 35–40 to days 38–40. That re-rendered 848 of 2,100 frames and two stills. The cameras stayed.

05 Package

What you send, and what you get back.

You send

  • One IFC of the building. Revit is fine if it is exported on the checklist below.
  • One schedule: P6, MS Project, CSV or Excel, with activity ids, names, dates and predecessors.
  • One logo, SVG or a PNG on a transparent ground, and the interview date.

You get

  • A list of activities that do not match the model, before the film.
  • An mp4, six stills, a link you can scrub, and a one-page assumptions sheet. Comments sit on the timeline.
  • Ten business days, one correction round. Half when the job starts, half when the film is delivered.

06 Price

Published prices.

Founding is the first three jobs, in exchange for the right to show the film. Anonymised if you need that.

Home market is the United States. Modeling a building from drawings only is a different conversation, and one we may decline.

Founding

$7,500

First three jobs. One building or a small campus. Ten business days. Reel rights.

List

$14,000

The same package.

Refresh

$2,500

Same cameras, new schedule, five business days.

07 Export

Revit to IFC, the same way every revision.

  1. One IFC, from a 3D view that shows only the building. Export only elements visible in that view.
  2. IFC 2x3 Coordination View 2.0, or IFC4 Reference View. Keep the same version between revisions.
  3. Tick Building Story only on the real floors and the roof, not on reference levels.
  4. Split walls, columns and ducts by level.
  5. Export rooms in 3D views, if the model has rooms.
  6. Store the IFC GUID in an element parameter after export, and keep that setup.
  7. Name materials for what they are: Brick, CMU, Metal Stud, Gypsum Board. Do not leave a material named Default.
  8. Send the schedule beside the IFC. Activity names should say the work and the level.

08 Questions

Short answers.

Who is it for?

Preconstruction and virtual design at a scored interview. This is not a page for homeowners.

How long, and what is in the package?

Ten business days, one correction. An mp4, six stills, a link you can scrub, and an assumptions sheet. Activities that do not match the model are listed first.

What if the dates move after delivery?

The refresh is $2,500. Same cameras, a new schedule, five business days. On the bungalow, 848 of 2,100 frames were re-rendered.

Will it open our Revit model?

Export an IFC on the checklist above, and send that file with the schedule.

Whose name is on the film?

Yours. Stereobate is a small credit at the end of the title line, or absent from the frame when the contract asks for that.

Is the sequence a method statement?

No. Illustrative sequence. Means and methods remain the contractor’s.
