3D Animation
Cinematic films, hero sequences, brand stories. Director-led 3D films from concept to color grade. Camera language, choreography, score, sound design — everything that turns a project into a brand asset.
What this service is
3D animation is what we do when stills are no longer enough — a film that puts the project in motion, tells its story, and gets remembered. We work as a director-led team: a writer shapes the script, a director designs the camera language, a CG supervisor owns the technical build, an editor and a colourist polish the final master. The end product is a film that can open a sales presentation, run on a launch landing page, anchor a trade-show booth, or play across all of the above.

Story & boards
Week 1Director, writer and art director shape the story arc, beat sheet, and storyboard. You approve frames before any 3D moves.
Previs
Week 2Animatic with rough 3D blocking — cameras, timing, transitions. The film's edit is locked here, before expensive frames.
Production
Week 3–7Modelling, lookdev, lighting, animation, FX. Daily review reels for the producer; weekly cuts for the client.
Compositing & grade
Week 8–9Final compositing, color grade, sound design, music. Two review rounds at 1080p before final 4K render.
Delivery
Week 10Master file (ProRes 4444, 4K) plus social cuts, square / vertical re-edits, GIF stings, key art.
Tools & technology
Cinema 4D + Houdini
C4D for character/layout, Houdini for any sim work — particles, fluids, destruction.
Redshift + Karma
GPU rendering for fast iteration cycles on 30-90s films.
Adobe After Effects
Final composite, motion graphics overlays, colour grade.
Pro Tools / Logic
Original score and sound design — never library music for hero films.
