This work has an extensive reputation and has been shown at international film festivals across Europe, Asia and the US. 

Professor Nic Clear has been at the forefront of the use of the moving image in architecture and architectural education for over 20 years, developing skills and techniques in the production of a wide variety of projects from documentary programmes to highly speculative 'virtual' conceptions of space.
