The House in<br />
Switzerland<br />
The House in Switzerland is<br />
a project that we loved and<br />
enjoyed throughout the<br />
production process. From<br />
the exchange of ideas with<br />
our client came the goal of<br />
creating a warm mood using<br />
the wood as a motivator of<br />
the scene.<br />
There are specific design<br />
elements that were<br />
modelled exclusively for the<br />
scene, which help to<br />
enhance the atmosphere in<br />
this image. We wanted to<br />
convey the cold<br />
contemplated from a warm<br />
place using multiple items<br />
such as wood that<br />
symbolises the warmth and<br />
serenity; also fire and the<br />
stove that further reinforce a<br />
pleasant atmosphere.<br />
Postproduction was the<br />
most important stage to<br />
generate this space, since<br />
colour corrections, contrasts<br />
and effects allow us to<br />
illustrate the idea of the<br />
desired space.<br />
We had a good impact abroad and good<br />
reviews of our work for the time the studio<br />
has been open<br />
F<br />
LL: There are three people who work at<br />
Kuan full time, and we all p<strong>art</strong>icipate in all<br />
the stages of creation. If there’s a bigger<br />
project or we have several projects at once,<br />
we hire external contractors.<br />
Can you give us some idea of the actual<br />
production pipeline for producing an image<br />
or set of images for a client?<br />
LL: We want our customers to feel at ease<br />
and comfortable. This working<br />
methodology is based on practicality and<br />
efficiency to achieve the best results in a<br />
timely manner. It st<strong>art</strong>s with the modelling<br />
process, where we send previews to the<br />
client to make the necessary corrections to<br />
get the best result in the final product. Once<br />
the previous images are approved, we begin<br />
the final rendering of images and/or videos.<br />
What kind of work have you been doing<br />
recently in the animation and product<br />
visualisation fields?<br />
LL: In the visualisation of products, we have<br />
been commissioned for modelling and<br />
rendering a catalogue of bathroom <strong>art</strong>ifacts<br />
in Barcelona, Spain. Also, we are in<br />
preproduction stage for an independent 3D<br />
animation film.<br />
The building and visualisation industries<br />
have both been affected by the global<br />
recession. Has your country and your type<br />
of work been affected as well?<br />
LL: We are a new studio so we have not felt<br />
the crisis as others may have, and we had a<br />
good impact abroad and good reviews of our<br />
work for the time the studio has been open.<br />
What are your plans and ambitions for the<br />
company in the future?<br />
LL: Our plans and ambitions are to continue<br />
growing on a worldwide scale and enlarge<br />
our clients’ portfolio, and to grow as an<br />
architectural visualisation and<br />
postproduction studio.<br />
