We produced a two-and-a-half-minute 3D animated video titled
Understanding Misinformation in Health. The use of 3D animation allowed us to create immersive visuals that humanised the problem. Animated characters and dynamic environments depicted misinformation as something fast-moving and infectious, while visual metaphors made abstract ideas concrete and easy to understand.
We decided to use 3D animation because it has versatile use
and makes the message clear.

When ProbioWellClean (a German cleaning brand) approached us, they needed a way to bring the invisible world of cleaning to life for their live television audience.
Their challenge was clear: how do you show consumers what really happens on a microscopic level when harmful bacteria spread across surfaces,
and how probiotic cleaners protect against them?
Our team developed a broadcast-ready 3D animation video without sound that worked seamlessly alongside the host on QVC.

Financial Bunnies came to us to make their book series about financial literacy into a 3D animated short film. These books teach children the value of saving through storytelling.
The first project we did was telling the story of a young bunny, Coco,
with a simple dream of buying a pair of shoes.
What began as a lighthearted tale evolved into a lesson in economics and money management, designed to spark conversations about financial literacy in households and classrooms.

This phase lays the foundation. We define objectives, target audience, and creative direction, then develop scripts and storyboards to map out the flow of the animation. By aligning on vision early, we ensure the final output communicates clearly and effectively.
Here, ideas are transformed into 3D assets. Models are created, textured, and prepared for movement through rigging. Animation breathes life into these assets, ensuring realistic motion, accurate mechanics, or stylized visuals depending on project needs.
This stage adds depth and polish. Lighting and rendering create the visual tone, while compositing integrates effects, branding, and transitions. Sound design including narration, effects, and music enhances impact and elevates the overall viewer experience.
Finally, the animation undergoes review and revisions to meet client expectations. Once approved, the project is exported in the required formats whether for web, social media, broadcast, or large-scale presentation ensuring smooth and professional delivery.
