Here are the special features, where I tell about the armor used and all of the actors talk about how we made the film. The special features film is always the best part of movie day!
Here is the video itself.
Ictinus was a Greek architect during the golden age of Athens. He and Callicrates were the main architects of the Athenian acropolis, more specifically the Parthenon. Ictinus was also the architect of the temple to Apollo at Bassae, one of the first structures to use the Corinthian column. The building was commissioned by Pericles, a prominent statesman and general during the golden age of Athens, who wanted a grand temple for their patron goddess, Athena. It is said he himself turned the Delian League into the Athenian Empire.
When designing a building, whether to a god or any normal person, one would like to know what your building looks like before you spend hours of labor building the structure only to find it in a shape you don’t like. You could draw it out to see, but that only shows a two-dimensional shape. You could make a scale model, but that is time consuming and you can’t walk into a model. So a 3D design program would be Ictinus' favorite architectural app. Graphisoft has created a 3-Dimensional Architecture program called BIMx. BIMx allows an architect to create an entire building and view it inside and out in the first person, allowing an architect to make minor changes quickly and view the finished product before it’s ever built. I’m sure both Ictinus and Callicrates would have greatly appreciated this when they designed the Parthenon!
