The task we start with.
Static product images cannot explain an internal mechanism, an assembly order or the components hidden behind a cover. A focused animation can reveal a subassembly, isolate the relevant part and slow the sequence so a customer or technician can follow it. The film is most useful when it explains one question clearly instead of adding movement everywhere.
How we approach the work.
- Select the assembly and the explanation goal. Identify the part names, source revision, intended movement and the person approving the sequence.
- Prepare component groups and pivots from the supplied CAD or drawings. Confirm travel, rotation and relationships with the technical reviewer; do not infer unspecified operating behaviour.
- Produce an exploded, cutaway or mechanism preview. Mark exploded separation and transparent housings as explanatory views, and review annotations against the component list.
- Finish the approved sequence with lighting, pacing and labels. Check component identity, order and final positions before supplying the agreed viewing versions.
What a project can include.
An assembly or disassembly film, a labelled exploded-view sequence, still images for a manual or proposal, and optional product close-ups. Operating-cycle animation follows client-approved kinematics and instructions. Forces, stresses, fluid behaviour and performance require validated analysis if the film is intended to make those claims.
Who it is for.
Machinery manufacturers, automation integrators, equipment suppliers, technical sales teams and engineering reviewers. Conveyors, skids, housings, modular assemblies and production equipment are possible scopes. Training content needs an approved procedure and a responsible reviewer before publication.
A possible first project.
A component explanation for a technical sales meeting.
An OEM needs to show how a cover opens, how the assembly separates and which internal components perform the agreed function. We scope an exploded sequence and one close-up, with a component list and client-approved motion references.
Illustrative scope, not a completed client engagement or measured result.
What we need to scope the work.
- Separated parts or an assembly tree and an approved CAD revision
- Assembly instructions, motion limits and component terminology
- The explanation goal, procedure owner, caption requirements and review stages
What affects price and timing?
Exploded distances are presentation choices and are labelled as explanatory. They do not establish service clearances. Mechanical motion follows the information you approve; engineering analysis and procedural validation are separate from visual production.
