The Third & The Seventh is a film that explores architecture through a cinematic lens, however this film is created using cgi. The skill and talent that has gone into making this film is brilliant but what really struck us was the composition, lighting and depth of field of each individual shot, these things a long with the music are what make this short film a must see.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/alex-roman/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2009/12/virgilio-villores/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2009/12/virgilio-villores/#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:36:32 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1859 The 30 year old filmographer, Virgilio Villores has some of the best film/motion work we have seen in months.
