Simulation/ Pre-Visualization Animation
How do you help clients, patients, investors, courts, or colleagues perceive your ideas before the can be realized? 3D computer animation is an excellent method of pre-visualization and simulation. We have produced technically challenging animations for various clients that accurately simulated their proposed project ideas. Whether it be for electro-mechanical systems visualization, medical animation, legal animation (crime scene/ accident re-creation), or product development, we have the skills and vision to convey your designs accurately. We offer a full gamut of animation services including concept development and story-boarding, modeling, surfacing, animation setup, rigging, technical direction, and rendering.
The Process
How do we get the work done? We consult with you to define the scope of work, giving recommendations within the project’s time, budget, and technical constraints. After contract negotiation, we conceptualize, create, and develop any custom or proprietary content. We script and/or storyboard the presentation for client review. When applicable, we then model, surface and test render all objects used in a scene for client review. Next we set up the actual scene by placing environments, objects and other elements. We next keyframe animate all moving scene elements and test render for timing and aesthetics. After final client approval, the scene is rendered and sent to editing. Final touches like music, audio, 2D compositing, and VFX are added during editing. The end result is a quality digital movie that can be output to many different digital or analogue formats for final delivery.
