Work

Rendered, frame by frame.

Stills from a recent product film for the food industry. Every frame is 3D: no camera crew, no stopped production line, no product samples needed on set.

Extreme close-up of a steel roller chain link with two pins, lit by a single hard light against a black background

Still 01

Roller chain link, macro

A single link, shot like a studio product photo. One hard key light picks out the pin heads and the brushed edge of the plate.

Lighting
Single key light, black studio
Material
Brushed steel, soft reflections
Camera
Macro lens, shallow depth of field
Close-up of a stainless steel sprocket engaging a roller chain, with a soft-focus background

Still 02

Sprocket and chain engagement

The camera stays close to where tooth meets roller, so the mechanism reads at a glance.

Material
Machined stainless steel
Camera
Close tracking move along the chain
Animation
Chain driven by the sprocket
Macro shot of a dark, soiled roller chain from below, with a drop of brown lubricant about to fall

Still 03

The problem, before the solution

A soiled chain with a heavy lubricant drop. Showing the problem first makes the effect of the product visible later in the film.

Simulation
Viscous fluid drop
Detail
Dirt particles on the chain plates
Camera
Low angle, macro

Still 04

The component in its working context

A complete bottling line, built in 3D, so the viewer understands where the part sits before the camera moves in.
