Featured Project

SECU Convention Presentation for 17/71 Architecture

17/71 Architecture came to Lifted Pictures with a specific challenge: they needed a convention presentation for the State Employees Credit Union that went beyond slides. They wanted the audience to experience the building.

We brought everything. Drone video and aerial 360° views for exterior context. Interior 360° walkthroughs so attendees could look around every space. Twilight photography showing the building at its most dramatic. A time-lapse running from multiple angles outside. And a guided interactive tour that tied it all together — viewers could move through exterior and interior scenes, click hotspots to watch the video, and browse the twilight photo gallery without leaving the presentation.

The deliverables were a 1:40 narrative video and a full interactive tour, delivered on time for the convention. 17/71 is already booking the next project.

This is what we can do for your firm — not just photograph your work, but build the presentation that makes people understand why it matters.
