For this project, we modified our well-refined production process to match two client deadlines. We accelerated the modeling and lookdev steps to create several still-frame visuals for our client to include in a deck presented at an important investor event, which took place just 5 weeks after project start. After the presentation was made, we finished the animation maintaining the design and visualization style developed at the project's first stage. Completed assets allowed us to complete yet another animation for the same client, making it more cost-effective. The smooth and prompt production process during this project was facilitated by well planned intermediate review calls that were scheduled way ahead and served as a transparent and understandable set of milestones both for our team and the client.

Why did we use this animation type?

Combining 3D graphics and 2D animation enabled us to simultaneously visualize the drug's mechanism of action in an accurate and eye-catching style and show the important clinical data. This approach is the most effective when the client needs to demonstrate key results and have exceptional 3D visuals as well. Our team is most famous for our scientifically rigorous and eye-catching 3D visualizations, but information design and 2D graphic design are also our key expertise. We have extended experience in finding a balance between the completeness of the data and reasonable and accurate simplification of the scientific graphs and figures.
