We Collaborated with MRCOOL to create this 3D Product Animation Video for their new campaign to promote their DIY Products
Challenges That Faced MRCOOL
- MRCOOL needed a video showcasing their HVAC system’s year-round performance in extreme summer and winter conditions – impossible to film live due to seasonal limitations.
- They required exploded views and X-ray animations to highlight internal mechanics, which real-life filming couldn’t achieve.
- Tight deadline: 6 weeks to deliver a photorealistic, multi-environment video.
The Storyboard: Aligning with USPs
We mapped MRCOOL’s key features (durability, energy efficiency, smart technology) into a narrative-driven storyboard
The Solution using 3D Product Animation
- Hyper-Realistic Environments:
- Built custom 3D sets for summer (cracked earth, blazing sun) and winter (snow textures, frost effects) to simulate extreme climates.
- Used dynamic lighting (e.g., summer glare vs. winter soft light) to enhance realism.
- Technical Precision:
- Created exploded-view animations to dissect complex HVAC mechanics.
- Added X-ray overlays to visualize airflow and internal components in action.
- Efficient Workflow:
- Delivered the project in 6 weeks by parallel-tracking asset creation (modeling, texturing) with animation.
- Shared daily progress updates with MRCOOL to ensure alignment.
