Case Study

3D Animated Video

A mine you can

01

The Brief

Mining projects are more than a pit. They need roads, railways, ports, power and airstrips. Contruent needed to show how hard it is to manage cost, schedule and stakeholders across all of that. Then it needed to show its software as the way through.

02

Our Approach

We built a 3D model world in white and Contruent blue. The camera travels from the mine out to the roads, rail lines, ports and power stations. Pain points appear as soft bubbles that pop when the software arrives. Product screens rise out of the landscape. A scan flags a cost problem in the mine and the dashboard suggests a fix.

From pit to port

The script moves across the whole operation. Here is the path it takes, frame by frame.

1

The mine

Complex construction at the heart of the project.

2

Rail lines

Supporting infrastructure adds to the load.

3

Ports

Every site has to connect.

4

Power

Power generation joins the plan.

5

Pressure points

Budget, cost control and timeline pressure.

6

One platform

All project data in one place.

7

Problems spotted early

Cost issues flagged before they grow.

8

Full visibility

Every site and stakeholder connected.

Storyboards and Script

We storyboarded the script panel by panel before animation began. Each panel paired a line of narration with a clear action. Pick a panel to see the sketch, the final frame and the script behind it.
