Paul Debevec led animation teams that created these two short films, The Campanile Movie and Fiat Lux, where he reconstructed architectural scenes in 3D and in Fiat Lux, animated virtual objects interacting in that space. The latter, pictured above, is an incredible exercise in virtual lighting, and is not only technologically impressive, but incredibly beautiful.

Both were shown at SIGGRAPH, in 1997 and 1999 respectively, and Campanile team member George Borshukov went on to apply similar techniques in the “bullet time” sequences of The Matrix.
