Revit for Film and Stage

Buildings may last for a long time, but film is forever! Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software provides extraordinary advantages for film and stage design professionals, from concept design to construction management. If you're in the film and stage industries (or interested in learning more about an incredibly creative and rewarding design environment), this chapter will give you some insight.

What's really important is learning how to quickly and easily communicate ideas much faster than using traditional 2D tools (which don't lend themselves to 3D) and far more efficiently than 3D tools (which don't lend themselves to construction documentation). Revit has the best of both worlds, and it provides an intuitive, integrated solution that helps everyone involved in the process of making the imagined real.

We'll profile how one set designer in the film industry, Bryan Sutton, has used Revit in his projects.

In this chapter, you'll learn to:

  • Design scenically
  • Use Revit in the design-to-production process
  • Use Revit for previsualization

Revit in the Film Industry

Right up front, you should know that Revit does not have a widely established technical presence in the set design industry. Instead, this space is dominated by Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Autodesk® Maya® software as well as 3D, SketchUp, and Rhino. But Revit has begun making inroads in recent years.
