Solihull High Street 1948

Manor House

Storm of '48

This short video is intentionally

an artistic render

showing an unfolded,

animated 360° panorama

looking south at The Manor House

as we start to walk along

the 1948 high street.

Ai technology has been used

to colorize the textured 3D model,

add the storm effects and

animate the walk.

It should be viewed as a piece of digital art,

extending the boundary

of the original concept.

To educate, remember, experience, enjoy,

preserve and reinvigorate.

Creative Workflow

The original 3D model

was meticulously created and

textured in Solihull, using Blender,

3D open-source software

developed in the Netherlands.

An equirectangular camera was used

in the 3D scene to capture and render

a 360°black and white panoramic image.

Reference images and maps

were supplied by

Solihull Heritage Dept.

The base image was then enhanced,

colorized and stylised

using Ai - Nano Banana Pro.

Developed by Google DeepMind in the US.

Animated using Ai

Seedance 2.0 / Multi-modal control.

Developed by ByteDance in China.

Upscaled to 4K using Topaz Labs in the US.

DaVinci Resolve, developed

by BlackMagic Design

in Australia was used

to create the final video outputs.
