I'm not 100% certain of the time it took because Spinifex were pr= oducing various bits & pieces for different projects - including at lea= st 3 building projections for Vivid if not more - and I've got no idea = how long everyone was working on the different bits. =A0And there's alw= ays other projects going on as well.

In regards to the Opera House projections, it was broken down into sections= that were worked on mostly by individuals. =A0The overall concept and crea= tive direction was done by Jonny Old (one of the Spinifex Creatives), but i= t was completed well before I started. =A0It was quite a big thing for the = Opera House projections to be awarded to a local Sydney base company, as in= the past it's always been given to overseas agencies. =A0 Spinifex wer= e invited to do it this year based on the strength of work they'd done = in previous years for other buildings.

The opening music section was completed solely by Jamie Tufrey using Cinema= 4D and After Effects - I'm not sure how long it took but probably at l= east 3 weeks.

The pinball section was animated in 3DS Max by at least 2 3D artists (maybe= 3?), then composited in After Effects although the comping was minimal. = =A0All of the animated lights in the pinball section were manually animated= lights in 3DS Max!

The Neon section is the part I was responsible for, so it's very flatte= ring to get Brian's feedback. =A0This was produced entirely in After Ef= fects and took me about 3 weeks. =A0I'm currently editing a video tutor= ial on how I did it all.

The light streaks after that were produced in Cinema 4D and comped in AE, a= nd I'm not even sure how the polygon section was done but I think it wa= s done by 1 3D animator in 3DS Max.

The skins / chameleon section was done in Cinema 4D - all mograph stuff - b= y Dan Harkness. =A0I don't know how long it took but probably 3 - 4 wee= ks.

The dancers were shot against greenscreen at Spinifex =A0and edited in Afte= r Effects by Will Skinner.

The core Spinifex studio team has about 3 full-time 3D guys, 3 full-time AE= guys, an AE / Nuke / IT guru and 2 Creative Directors. =A0On top of that t= here are a few of us who are regular freelancers so on a typical day there&= #39;s probably up to 15 people floating around the studio.

Cheers,
