AI video for the development project 120 Lexington Avenue
A short AI video needs to be created for the development project:
120 Lexington Avenue
NoMad / Manhattan, New York
Luxury Condominium Development
The main task is to create a presentation cinematic AI transformation video in the style of the provided reference, where the real location / state before construction transforms into a completed luxury condominium development.
The video should look like a premium real estate / investment development presentation for investors, partners, social media, and marketing materials.
1. Main style reference
The main video reference:
https://www.instagram.com/reels/DTeIA93ESnr/
The freelancer needs to carefully analyze this reference and independently select based on it:
the structure of the video;
angles;
camera movement;
the logic of transformation;
editing;
tempo;
transitions;
final hero shot;
overall presentation style.
We do not need a regular slideshow of renders or photos.
We need a cinematic AI transformation video:
before / current state of the location → AI transformation → after / completed luxury condominium building.
The final video should be as close as possible to the reference in terms of feeling, dynamics, editing, and presentation.
It is not necessary to copy the reference one-to-one, but the final result should evoke a similar impression: modern, expensive, dynamic, realistic video for the development project.
2. Project
Project name:
120 Lexington Avenue
Location:
120–124 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10016
District:
NoMad / Manhattan, New York
Project type:
Luxury Condominium Development
Overall idea:
Create a visual AI presentation of the completed premium condominium in Manhattan. The video should show the transformation of the location and emphasize that this is a high-quality luxury residential development in the prestigious NoMad area.
3. Source materials
The freelancer will be provided with the following materials:
1. Google Drive with photos of the completed object and photos before construction
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LlmSyvwWSYMshAcwgl0nmv0g3SDSRfUW?usp=sharing
This folder contains:
photos of the completed object;
photos before the object was built;
additional materials about the building;
visual materials to be used as a basis.
These photos are the main materials for the logic of before → after.
It is especially important:
to use photos before construction for the "before" part;
to use photos of the completed object for the "after" part;
not to invent other architecture;
to preserve the real appearance of the completed building as much as possible;
to convey the facade, proportions, colors, windows, ground floor, upper levels, and rooftop.
2. Google Street View of the location
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7426955,-73.9824765,3a,75y,344.75h,89.72t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s1zVyCprWVUlK2qFn0jU4zw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0.277095769178203%26panoid%3D1zVyCprWVUlK2qFn0jU4zw%26yaw%3D344.75435847884177!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDYxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
This link should be used as a reference for:
the real appearance of the street;
the scale of the location;
the intersection;
neighboring buildings;
road markings;
cars;
pedestrians;
the overall Manhattan street environment.
3. NYC Cyclomedia / current state of the location
https://propertyinformationportal.nyc.gov/cyclomedia/585948.0541356411/4510683.786769484/
This link should be used as an official reference for the current state of the location.
The freelancer needs to take this view as a basis for the "before" part and then create a smooth AI transformation into the final completed object.
The logic of the video:
current view from NYC Cyclomedia / Google Street View → AI transformation → completed 120 Lexington Avenue luxury condominium development.
4. Screenshots of presentation materials for the project
Screenshots from presentation materials are also provided, which include:
These materials should be used as additional context for the style, scale, positioning, and presentation of the project.
4. Key project data
According to the provided materials, the project has the following characteristics:
The video should not be overloaded with numbers. This data is needed for the freelancer to understand the scale and type of the project.
5. Main task
A short AI video needs to be created that shows the transformation of the real location:
before / location before construction → after / completed object 120 Lexington Avenue.
The freelancer independently selects the best way to present, based on the main Instagram reference.
The video should clearly show:
where the project is located;
that this is Manhattan / NoMad / premium urban location;
what the location looked like before construction;
what the completed object looks like;
that this is a luxury condominium development;
that the building has ground floor retail;
that there are rooftop / outdoor terrace areas;
that the rooftop offers a beautiful view of Manhattan;
that the project looks like a high-quality investment-grade real estate asset.
The main thing is to create not just a comparison "before / after", but a cinematic AI transformation reel in the style of the reference.
6. Style and presentation guidelines
The video should be:
as close as possible to the reference;
realistic;
cinematic;
modern;
premium;
not cartoonish;
not fanciful;
not resembling a simple slideshow;
in the style of luxury real estate development;
with smooth camera movement;
with quality transition / transformation effect;

clean architecture;
luxury residential feel;
Manhattan lifestyle;

modern condominium architecture;
large windows;
premium facade materials;
light gray / stone / concrete look;
dark vertical accents;
corner building feel;
ground floor retail glazing;
upper-level luxury residential appearance;
rooftop / outdoor terrace areas.
The building should not look like random AI generation. It must look like a real completed object specifically for this location.
Arbitrary changes to the architecture, facade shape, or overall style of the building are not allowed.
8. Location requirements
Google Street View, NYC Cyclomedia, and photos before construction should be used as the basis for the current appearance / before part.
In the video, it is desirable to preserve:
Manhattan street environment;
the intersection;
neighboring buildings;
road markings;
sidewalk;
cars;
yellow taxis, if appropriate;
pedestrians;
dense urban development;
the atmosphere of NoMad / Flatiron / Midtown South.
The location should look recognizable, but the final result should be visually enhanced, presentational, and premium.
9. Rooftop / terrace areas / view of Manhattan
The provided materials show that there are rooftop / terrace areas on the upper levels.
The video must include a shot or short episode on the rooftop:
people sitting or relaxing on the rooftop / terrace;
the space looks like a premium outdoor amenity space;
the shot should reveal a beautiful view of Manhattan / city skyline;
the atmosphere of lifestyle, status, and comfort should be conveyed;
the rooftop should look realistic, aesthetic, and cinematic.
This shot should emphasize that the rooftop is one of the premium advantages of the project.
Desired elements of the rooftop shot:
people sitting and chatting;
outdoor seating / lounge furniture;
railing or glass railing;
greenery / planters;
Manhattan skyline / city view in the background;
golden hour or beautiful daylight lighting;
premium lifestyle atmosphere.
Important: the view of Manhattan should look beautiful, but realistic and match the urban environment.
10. What can be shown in the video
The freelancer decides the structure, but the video should ideally include the following elements:
current view of the site / before;
photos or video feeling of the old state of the location;
smooth AI transformation of the site into the completed building;
the emergence of the future facade;
street-level retail;
premium condominium entrance;
Manhattan urban lifestyle;
rooftop lifestyle scene with people and a view of Manhattan;
final cinematic hero shot of the completed building.
It is not necessary to show all elements as separate blocks. The freelancer should independently select the structure and editing according to the reference.
The main thing is that the video looks cohesive, expensive, realistic, and is close to the reference.
