SketchUp 3D House Animation in Widescreen

(Note: This version has the fixed audio and better color. See the ‘HD’ version for smoother playback and high resolution viewing)
This is a model of a house that I built (in real life) a number of years ago. I wanted to see if I could rebuild it with what plans, photos and memories that I still have.
I built the deck model years ago using Ray Dream Designer and Virtus Walkthrough (neither program is around anymore) to visualize what the deck would look like before I built it (in real life) as an addition to the house. I built the deck model to scale and it imported (.dxf) nicely into SketchUp after all these years. That was the starting point of this recent modeling project.
I did the time lapse sequence at the end to showcase SketchUps ability to set time and date for determining location of shadows. I also used its watermark (picture overlay) capability to see if I could line up the angle and lens settings of the camera snapshots that I had taken back in the day. I think it worked well.
Incidentally, I also composed and produced the accompanying soundtrack over an excellent beat by Zajo called “loop39.wav” from Freesound (http://www.freesound.org) used under a Creative Commons sampling license.
