01 / A new way to present space
You’ve imagined
the architecture.
Let them experience it.
Motion Dept works with architecture studios, interior designers and developers presenting high-end projects. From approved renders, we develop photographic source stills first, then direct a launch-ready story through distinct views, tactile details, purposeful movement and considered sound.

How it works
Mitch Mametsa Founder & Creative Director
Architecture first. Always.
Before the films,
there were
floor plans.
Nearly ten years in architectural draughting, with more than 50 homes personally designed. A considered eye for materials, proportion and the decisions behind the images.
Mitch founded Motion Dept to bring that understanding into visual storytelling—helping people see the character of a project, not just its surfaces.

What am I buying?
A film is a finished video made from your architectural images. Stills are separate finished pictures. A project brochure is a designed PDF about the property. You can buy any of these on its own. The complete package includes all three plus a project website.
Can I start with just one film?
Yes. A 30-second film costs $650, 45 seconds $950, 60 seconds $1,250, 90 seconds $1,850 and 120 seconds $2,450. For a 60-second film, pay $625 to start and $625 after you approve it, before we send the final file. You do not need a monthly plan.
What does a film include?
We prepare your architectural images, add realistic movement, edit the video and finish it with music, sound effects and your branding. Choose widescreen, vertical or square as your included video format. You receive a Full HD video (1080p MP4), with one round of changes. Separate finished pictures and extra video versions cost extra.
Can I buy images or a brochure on their own?
Yes. Finished images cost $150 for one, $500 for four, $1,125 for ten or $2,000 for twenty. A PDF brochure costs $375 for six pages, $625 for twelve or $1,000 for twenty. Both services include one round of changes to the agreed work.
What does the complete package include?
For $2,500, you get a 60-second film, ten finished 4K images, a 12-page PDF brochure and a project website. A 90-second film makes the total $3,100; a 120-second film makes it $3,700. The image count, brochure length and website stay the same. One round of changes across the package is included.
Can I buy just the project website?
The project website comes only with the complete package. It brings the video, images and brochure together at one shareable address. The first year online and the finished website files are included. After that, optional hosting costs $150 a year. A custom domain name and later content changes are separate. You approve the website before it goes public.
