My computer is slow and my knowledge of codecs and video editing scarce. I could not only reduce the original video from 1.01 GB to 1 GB. So I send the best version I've been able to do and I venture to send you the same 1.01 GB video with "WeTransfer", even knowing that I am outside the law and may not be valid ...

Two were the main reasons that pushed me to choose this unique building as a reference for may 3D and VFX course graduation exercise.
The first one is that I live close to it and since childhood I have always been fascinated as it seems out of the country of “Neverland”. The second one is that its organic shapes, different from the vast majority, posed a challenge for a person like me used to model rectilinear forms.
The 3D course that I graduated from was with Lightwave, ideal software for sculpting wavy forms. This and the fact that I am an architect seemed the ideal excuse for my final exercise.
The project was not only modeling, but to create a video, therefore I needed something that gave sense to the camera tour in the facade. I decided to finally explain in a graphic and comparative manner, Gaudi´s main source of inspiration: forms that himself found in nature. This was my starting point as I started moving the camera with movements that would be impossible in reality and forced it to stop in front of each significant architectural element, showing, through simply retouching some Photoshop images, the great similarity with elements that nature has carved.

I propose to the rigging experts to convert this roof with tiles that look like scales, in the legendary and fierce dragon that was defeated by St George, Patrin Saint of Catalonia, seving a beatiful princess from being devoured. Someine should create this reptile escaping by climbing the adjacent buildings in Barcelona.
Anyi one dares?
