Yes indeed. The artwork is very good, emotional.

Fantastic, but does anyone else find it strange that he gave himself an alternative name?

Alex Roman:
A long time ago, I wanted to differentiate "Jorge Seva's" published work from a new parallel project. My actual "new" nick was "third.seventh". This makes reference to the third and seventh pillars of art: architecture and cinema. I had to add "Alex Roman" because a few portals demanded a conventional name in order to have artwork published. My first thoughts were of my little brother's name and my grandma’s last name. Hence, "Alex R". As for work, I do Architectural Visualization (ArchViz) as a senior 3D artist and regarding the name .... Alex is fine!

...but not sure it works well for an advertising. (blaming the agency?)

It works just perfectly!
Thanks to Alex Roman the whole world knows about it.
Otherwise it would have been just some random ad no one would care about.

Or at least the whole CG world.

Well, I didn't mean the world literally

, but I did saw the video on some non-CG sites just being published as a "
video that looks too real to be CG" etc., so it turned out as 'viral' video in some way.

I do, personally I was waiting the whole video to see "what" it was.
Then, I watched it about ten times more, but just to see the 3D...
I think people that is not involved in 3D/Video field doesn't even think if this is 3D or not, they're going to see the beauty of the images and their minds will relationate that images with the final art/logo, and I think thats the point of the video, the relationship between concepts (cutted fruits and quartz), that's the brand (Silestone) main field, quartz surfaces for kitchens (is not an easy subject

), but I do believe it works.

Just amazing.....the quarts especially, and the extreme detail in the petals.
But yes, too much sss on the lemons

Well .. If they're lemons, ...they're freakishly small or that bowl is freakishly huge.
I'd say kumquats, but they're not an exact match.
Final opinion, .. the 'lemons' are plain suspect or Mr. Roman is playing God and just invented the lemo-quat.
Disregard the 'properties' box, .. the pc's getting a little glitchy over here.

Exceptional work, but what's this 'pillars of art' nonsense?
whose pillars? what's the source?
I always thought his 'third & seventh' was a reference to a musical paradigm......sounds like 'pretend art waffle' to me but what the heck do I know.
