Engineering understood.Cinematically told.
An industrial product, understood from the inside out. We brought engineering research, on-location filmmaking and cinematic CGI together to make its mechanism clear—and its presentation compelling.

Before the camera,
the right questions.
Our engineering background shapes how we approach a product. We read the documentation, examined the supplied geometry and returned to our footage of the delivered machine. Three sources, brought together before creative decisions were made.
MANUFACTURER GEOMETRY / BLENDERRead the structure.
The frame, plates and moving assembly established the starting point. We prepared the model for visual production and rebuilt selected details for close-up work.
- Indexing
- Manual station exchange
- Axis of rotation
- Horizontal turn, vertical pivot
Understand the operation.
Which parts move together? Where is the pivot? How do the working stations exchange? Those relationships informed the rig and the sequence.
MINDFRAMES / ON-LOCATION FOOTAGEObserve the details.
Our filming and photography provided the reference for controls, handles, finish and safety markings—grounding the CGI in the machine we had actually seen.
The research
changed the shot.
Freedom in presentation. Discipline in product representation. The machine’s engineering is the starting point for our creative work.
Not decoration.
Design with a reason.
The graphic system grew from the product: industrial diagonals, a rotating assembly and the regular geometry of the working surface. Image, type and motion speak the same language.
Ø16 / SYSTEM 16Precision is
in the surface.
The perforations were rebuilt as geometry, so light could catch their edges. A hard diagonal sweep makes that detail—and the film’s slash motif—visible.
in motion.
Angled forms introduce each title with a measured rhythm. Short ticks give every arrival a clear accent.
The 180° exchange.
The angle readout and arc follow the turn. The graphic clarifies the action rather than competing with it.

Type with purpose.
Condensed lettering gives technical information presence while leaving room for the product.
Neutral surfaces.
One controlled accent.
The project’s crimson stays inside the film treatment. Mindframes orange frames the case study.
Precision needs
pacing.
A mechanism needs time to register. A detail needs space to be appreciated. The 33-second film moves between explanation and atmosphere, ending on a deliberate, settled hero frame.

Lit like a real product.
Directional light gives the enclosure form. Controlled reflections distinguish painted metal from the dark plate. Exterior, overhead and interior cameras each explain a different relationship—not just a different angle.
You can hear the rhythm.
Designed sound layers · illustrative arrangement, not an audio waveform.
Form. Function.
Fine detail.
Eight views, one visual language. A coordinated collection of complete-product images, working perspectives and close-ups for the brand’s digital and sales communication.
The filmmaking stays.
The studio changes.
From manufacturer-supplied geometry to a directed virtual shoot. The process reel shows the working scene behind the finished film.
Prepare the model.
Make the supplied geometry practical for visual production. Rebuild the surfaces that need to withstand a closer view.
Articulate the assembly.
Organise the moving parts around the correct pivot, using the filmed operation to guide the animation.
Direct the virtual shoot.
Shape the materials, choose the viewpoints and choreograph light and movement shot by shot.
Before the CGI,
the factory floor.
Our original filming and photography documented the physical machine and its operation. That production gave the later CGI study a practical reference, not just a visual starting point.
