Beijing Olympics: Virtually There

A virtual peak into the Beijing Olympic Green using 3D modeling in Maya and motion graphics in AfterEffects. I researched hundreds of architectural drawings and visited the construction site in Beijing to gather reference for recreating the idea of the finished green before it existed.
