Get out of the office early and go see Sucker Punch today. It's an original screenplay by Zack Snyder (IMDB link here), the same director behind such hits as 300, Watchman and presently tasked with directing Superman: Man of Steel.
Tell your boss you're doing it for research because 1) You need to be inspired and 2) Revit was used to design the sets and you're tired of hearing people of less experience and force of will tell you what "Revit can't do". ;)
Here's a detail of a rail car that's had it's roof blown off. According to Bryan (IMDB link here) this was accomplished via Revit's phasing capability.
Pretty. Damn. Cool.
Many of the sets in Sucker Punch were designed in Revit. James, Eddy and I were incredibly fortunate to (once again) discuss with Bryan Sutton the many unique processes he used to design Sucker Punch and Tron II for this year's Mastering Revit 2012 book.
The amazing images of those projects will go a long way to convince people of the power of using Revit as a design through production tool. And if the pictures don't convince a doubting someone to implement Revit and you're done with trying to rationally appeal to their sense of intellect, keep in mind the book weighs around 5 pounds. You could just hit them in the head with it, thus appealing to their sense of fear.
If you're in Australia for RTC 2011 I'll be going into some detail about how Revit was used on both projects (and more) during the session on Revit for Film and Stage. So please consider signing up for the class if you're attending. Last year's session on film and stage at RTC 2010 and the subsequent showing of the Watchman film resulted in one of the most uniquely themed awards I've ever witnessed.
Let's just say you had to be there. :)
