This is a building I'm working on,

I'm having little bit of trouble finding a good exterior hdri for an animation, anyone have any tips of how I could do this? I know how to mount a backplate on a photo but I have no idea how I have to do it in an animation AE I suppose...Thta's why i'm looking for a really good HDRI that would hold up in the animation.

Hope you like it.

Looking great!
I've been wondering this myself. I love the reflections and colors HDRIs can produce, but often they are at a very wrong scale if you try to use as a backplate. I would love to hear a good solution to it for animation, even in interiors it would be nice to see some change out of the windows during a walkthrough.

i'd consider to shoot one yourself. if you don't have the equipment (and who has?) there's always the option of renting one for a day or even stitch it together in photoshop. (although super tedious...). 5D's are readily available and a fisheye isn't that expensive to rent either. (although not that readily available...).
