The Team

AND stands for Adrian and Daniela. Confusing as this is (…and what?) to reverse the initials order was not an option. Both A and D have MA degrees in architecture and urban design, as well as decades of experience working in and for large architectural companies. With microstock, A and D expanded the AND brand of visualization in advertising and entertainment, where their work appears under the “3000ad” author name.

A journey’s ultimate goal is its memory. If visuals are the best way to remember, what better way to see the future than renderings and animations?

“Architectural visualization is just the beginning. The fun starts when we apply everything that we know technically and combine our work with our hobbies: travel and science fiction. The results are sometimes lucrative, often unexpected, and always rewarding. Change and the ability to adapt to new scenarios are the common thread connecting our work to the places we travel and to the books that we read. Meeting new people is awesome. Being able to visualize their future environments is priceless!” – Daniela Mangiuca

The W’s

Who we are, what we do, when we started, with what type of hardware and software do we work, where are we located, and why we do what we do.

Who

As with most creative partnerships, AND stands for our names: Adrian and Daniela. As confusing as this is, (“…and what?”) reversing the initial order into DNA was not an option.

We are trained architects. We streamline projects, deal with last-minute revisions and meet impossible deadlines. (We are architects, right?) We won’t disappoint even the unreasonable, while still staying within a quoted budget. To accomplish this, we use a proprietary, layered design process of 3D modeling, graphic illustration, and video production.

Our stock media mirrors our hobby:  movies. We are Science Fiction enthusiasts and recreational futurists, exploring possible tomorrows in image, motion, and, recently, in writing. As lifelong fans of A.C. Clarke, P. K. Dick, and the Strugatsky brothers, we value the classic social fiction with a philosophical dimension.

Outside AND, we love to travel and have visited over twenty countries.  One day we hope to share on this website our stories. Meanwhile, our microstock photo galleries host image selections from several amazing places built by nature or man.

What

Our visualization services are primarily architectural renderings, 3D computer graphics, and animations.

From Photoshop work to 3D modeling, from illustrations to video, our content focuses on digital, web, and social media presentations.

In 2006 we entered the microstock trading market by selling photography and 3D illustrations. A few years later, when agencies started to sell royalty-free footage,  we added motion graphics and short animations to our RF portfolios, as well as AfterEffects video templates. AE allowed us to custom design affordable special effects for animations, as well as clip inserts for documentary movies and advertising videos, expanding our business in movie/book trailers and video reels. Our YouTube and microstock content was part of several History Channel documentaries and was credited in motion graphic books, now released on DVD.

When

In 1992, two years into our American experience, we opened AND International as a freelance, architectural visualization, sole proprietorship. Our projects – moonlight work primarily commissioned by our day-time employers – gave us the opportunity to learn and gain experience in building a 3D graphics business.

In February 1998, with an expanding client base and the generous support of mentors, we incorporated as AND Inc. Our mission statement: “Call us, and we’ll make your client call you” ®, indicates that, at AND Inc., our success is measured only by the success of our clients and business partners.

In 2016, following our move to Maryland, our business became AND, a partnership rendering the same visualization services. 

The AND stock and media are sold on several websites in the “3000ad” galleries.

With

By application, we use the following programs and plug-ins:

AutoCAD, 3D Studio MAX – for 3D modeling and animation.

Adobe Premiere, AfterEffects – for video production.

Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter – for illustrations and computer graphics.

Dreamweaver, WordPress Web, PowerPoint – for multimedia design.

Our social media channels are YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

We operate on a Windows,  PC platform, and our mobile OS is Android.

As part of an ever-changing industry, at AND we constantly test new ‘must-have-cannot-survive-without’ plug-ins and media apps.

Where

We moved! Since 2016, our new ‘brick-and-mortar’ location is in Kensington, Maryland, USA. Online, andonwww.com still hosts our virtual headquarters. Our microstock galleries are located on several websites under the ID: 3000ad. Of these media outlets, our most successful sell agencies are Shutterstock, Pond5, Dreamstime, CanStockPhoto. Our marketing venues are hosted on YouTubeFacebook, and various other social sites, where we operate under the ID: andonwww.

Why?

Because successful design relies on out of the box ideas.

Because efficient marketing works only when pushing creativity limits.

Because we have no overhead and a commitment to uniqueness.

Because “Awesome!” is possible and we know how to achieve it.

All the above considered, it doesn’t mean we’ll work for free. We can, but won’t – unless your project changes the world into a better place, and then we most certainly want to be part of it. So, don’t wait, contact us for your next GC/video/web adventure!
