Architectural Maquettes
For a few years, I was working as a model maker for an architecture firm. All models I made were created by hand, using rulers and tools. The models were created using a variety of different materials, including acrylic, wood, cardboard, poured resin, etc. They sometimes include integrated lighting and measured anywhere from a few centimetres to a dozen feet.
The making of Hitman Go scale model
Below is a video of the model for the Hitman Go video game. A filmmaker was present during the creation of the model and the footage was used as a promotional video for the launch of the game on PS4. For more information on how this model was built, click here.
“After a weekslong search for a partner that understood the project, Square Enix Montreal teamed up with Atelier-S, a Montreal-based architecture and design firm that also builds maquettes. You can see the production process in the video above, which also includes interviews with Routon and Hitman Go creative director Daniel Lutz.”
