Our Process

Structured Collaboration
From Concept to Delivery

Every project follows a proven framework designed to ensure accuracy, alignment, and purposeful outcomes. We work closely with your team at each phase to respect technical constraints and support informed decision-making.

01

Discovery & Planning

1-2 weeks

  • Kickoff meeting and requirements gathering
  • Script development and storyboarding
  • Medical accuracy review
  • Style frame approval

We begin by understanding your device, audience, and goals. This phase establishes the foundation for accurate and effective visualization through careful review and collaboration.

02

Production

2-3 weeks

  • 3D modeling and environment creation
  • Animation development
  • Lighting and texturing
  • Initial review and feedback

Our team builds the visual assets and animation sequences. This phase focuses on technical execution while maintaining regular communication to ensure alignment with your expectations.

03

Refinement

1-2 weeks

  • Revision rounds (2 included in base price)
  • Audio integration
  • Color grading and final polish
  • Medical and clinical review integration

We refine the animation based on your feedback and ensure all technical and clinical details are accurate. This phase allows for adjustments while maintaining project scope.

04

Delivery

1 week

  • Final rendering in multiple formats
  • File delivery (MP4, MOV, ProRes)
  • Usage rights documentation
  • Asset archive for future updates

Final deliverables are prepared in formats suited to your distribution channels. All assets are archived to support future modifications or additional content needs.

Timeline Flexibility

Standard timelines reflect typical project complexity. Expedited delivery options are available when needed, with adjusted pricing to support accelerated schedules.

Collaboration Approach

We maintain regular communication throughout each phase. Your subject matter experts and stakeholders are involved at key decision points to ensure technical accuracy and alignment.
