Castle in the cliffs video

The video below is a time-lapse recording of how I made this scene. How I made this scene used a very different workflow from normal as I knew this shot required a lot less detail on the architecture due to the long distance of the shot. This causes a lot of the building to look unfinished and unprofessional when viewed from a close distance, however this was not a problem as the scene was to be viewed from a long distance and the lack of details and structure would mostly go unnoticed.

A screen shot of the final render can be seen on the left while the right is a scan of the original concept sketch I made.
