3D animation and product visualisation

Product animation, packaging and beauty visualisation, exploded views and technical pieces: 3D for the moments a camera cannot show, modelled, lit and animated in 3ds Max and finished in After Effects, in your brand's own visual language.

Talk to us How we price

What we make

●Product animation and visualisation from CAD, STEP or OBJ files, or modelled from drawings and photographs when there is no model.
●Packaging and beauty: materials, liquids and light that hold up in close-up, before the product exists or after it changed.
●Exploded views and technical animation: how a device works, layer by layer, for sales, training and support.
●Photoreal stills for e-commerce, print and exhibition from the same model as the animation.
●Versions for every format and language from one 3D master, with the 2D graphics built around it in After Effects.

How it is priced

By the day, agreed in writing before the work starts. One studio carries the job from the brief to the delivered master, so nothing is handed between suppliers halfway.

How we price

Tools

3ds Max, After Effects, Photoshop.

The work

Three ways to buy it

Launch packs

A product film and its cutdowns at a fixed price

Monthly production

3D content for every channel, every month

Versioning and localisation

Formats and languages from one 3D master

Questions we get

If one exists it saves days: CAD, STEP or OBJ files all work. If not, we model the product from drawings, photographs or the object itself, and you approve the model before anything is animated.

From model to a finished 30 to 60 second animation, usually three to four weeks including two rounds of revisions. Stills from the same model take days.

3ds Max for modelling, lighting, materials and animation, After Effects for compositing and finishing. We do not use Cinema 4D or Blender.

By the day. The size of the model and the number of shots decide the days, and a written price comes back within one working day of a brief.

Yes, and it should be: one model, one set of materials, so the packshot on the website matches the product in the film.

Motiohead have been an absolute pleasure to work with - consistently high quality work, very speedy, trustworthy and well priced. I'd definitely recommend to others and I'd also definitely work with them again. They are also excellent communicators and are very accommodating with updates to briefs, which has been a real help. We'll be working with Motiohead again for sure.

I've used Motiohead on a few occasions and couldn't recommend them highly enough. Always prepared to go above and beyond to ensure we meet our tight deadlines (without any issues). Always a pleasure to work with and plan to use them again in the future.

We have used the company several times for video and editing jobs. They have always been very professional, had great equipment, understand the brief, and edited the video to our exact specifications. We have used them more than 10 times and will continue to do so going forward. Great work.

Motiohead were fantastic for our latest documentary project. We handed them a ton of research, and they transformed it into brilliant, clear, cinematic motion graphics that drove the story. They were incredibly fast and delivered without any fuss. If your film needs high-end visuals then motiohead are a great choice!

Motiohead have been incredible during our post production edit process. Turning around edit after edit with very tight deadlines. They understood quickly what we required and actioned accordingly. A huge thank you to project manager Arseniy who has provided a 1st class service and delivered this project and also our super star editor Mark. Thank you to the Motio team and I look forward to working with you in 2023! Highly recommended:)

We worked with Motiohead to produce a short animation for social channels for one of our clients. They were attentive and responded well to our feedback and direction throughout the process. We also found them to be flexible and patient, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, a great value partner.

Enjoyed working with the team, our fist time experience was flawless. Motiohead understood and followed the brief and did not hesitate to ask where things were not clear. Shared professional opinion and triple checked that we were satisfied before issuing invoice. Excellent customer service overall and would highly recommend. Will certainly use services again. Thanks.
