We've got answers.

Whether you're a brand launching a product or an agency looking for a specialist 3D partner — here's how we work, from discovery to delivery.

01  ·  The Production Process
We kick off with a Discovery phase. We dive into your brand, your product's key features, and the "why" behind the animation. If you have CAD files, reference images, or a script, we gather them here. The goal is to align on the visual style and key messaging before we move a single pixel.
Absolutely. We never go radio silent. You'll approve work at three key milestones:
  • Animatic — a low-detail version to lock in timing, camera moves and flow
  • Style Frames — high-quality stills showing exactly how lighting, textures and colours will look
  • Final Render — the full-quality animation, ready for final polish and sign-off
No problem. We're a full-service creative partner. We can take a rough idea or a list of product features and develop a creative treatment, script, and storyboard for you. We don't just push buttons — we help craft the narrative.
We believe in a structured, collaborative workflow. We typically include two rounds of consolidated feedback at each stage. This keeps the project moving forward efficiently. We use Frame.io so you can leave frame-accurate comments directly on the video.
02  ·  Agency & Studio Partnerships
Yes. A significant portion of our work is partnering with branding agencies, video production houses, and marketing firms. We understand agency pacing and high expectations. We can act as your specialist "3D department," plugging seamlessly into your wider campaign workflow.
Yes. We're happy to work under your banner. We can sign NDAs, use your email domains if required, and attend client calls as part of your team. We're flexible to your client relationships.
Definitely. If your Creative Director has already established the look and feel, we can step in purely for execution. We're experts in taking existing brand guidelines or 2D assets and translating them into premium 3D motion content that matches your vision perfectly.
03  ·  Pricing, Tech & Delivery
Costs vary based on complexity, duration, and the type of assets required. A technical explainer with complex fluid simulations costs more than a 10-second looping social clip. Use our Project Calculator for a baseline, or book a call for a fixed-price quote. We don't do hidden fees.
A typical 30–60 second commercial usually runs 4 to 8 weeks. We can sprint for shorter deadlines if needed, subject to availability. Agency partner projects often move faster when the creative direction is already locked.
We run a high-end pipeline built on Cinema 4D and Houdini for complex animation and simulation, rendered in Redshift for photorealistic results. Compositing is handled in After Effects. We deliver in whatever format you need — ProRes, mp4, EXR sequences, and more.
We cover basic sound design in-house to ensure the edit flows well. For broadcast-quality audio, bespoke composition, or commercial music licensing, we partner with specialist audio engineers. Advanced sound production and music licensing fees are additional costs and are not included in our standard visual estimates.
