Given the company’s early-stage status, the production process needed to be optimized for both speed and cost efficiency while maintaining the highest scientific standards. We structured the animation using a hybrid approach, selecting the most effective animation style for each scene:

DECK 3D for Introduction and Context: The opening scenes utilized DECK 3D animation, in which molecular structures remained scientifically accurate while the animation itself was less dynamic. This approach enabled faster production while keeping costs under control—key considerations for a startup operating under tight budget and timeline constraints.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation: While DECK 3D was used for parts of the animation, certain scenes required more detailed molecular interactions. These were enhanced with molecular dynamics simulations to ensure precise representation of molecular behavior and interactions.

2D Overlays for Clarity: Because the audience included investors without deep technical backgrounds, we implemented a dual-layered visualization approach. Alongside the 3D molecular animations, we incorporated simplified 2D schematic overlays that mirrored key molecular processes in real time. These 2D callouts and structural highlights helped break down complex mechanisms and modifications, making them more accessible without compromising scientific accuracy.
