The New World Trade Center

PIRANHA was commissioned by Silverstein Properties to create a short film depicting the completion of The New World Trade Center site. Piranha wrote, produced, art directed, filmed, and finished all vfx for this inspiring piece marking the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. It is on display permanently at the marketing center of Tower 7.

The film was presented at a press conference at Silverstein Properties marketing center in presence of Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Port Authority’s Chris Ward, architects Daniel Libeskind and Michael Arad to a crowd of international news journalists on September the 7th 2011.

Arch Paper: “It’s blockbuster good. Silverstein Properties has produced a video of The New World Trade Center that shows where we’ve been and where we’ll be in coming years (provided the markets cooperate). With music swelling, this time machine has production values on par with Inception, and like that thriller it might leave you wondering which dream level we’re on”
