If you are selling a technical, scientific, medical or industrial product or process, your prospects need to understand it in order to buy. Photos and videos are usually not enough, even videos of the product in operation.
3D animated videos, on the other hand, let you show the invisible shot and the impossible shot โ things that you just canโt show with regular video. Think something as common as a car engine. What does regular video give a prospect who is shopping for an engine: with its specs and capabilities? Nothing about the mechanism of action and not enough to make a decision on.
3D animated videos let you explain a complex, feature-rich product in just 120 seconds.
You will know that selection criteria: capability, reliability, price, longevity, fitness for purpose or others, but your job is to make sure your prospect understands how your product fits his criteria. Don't tell him how great the product is because โgreatโ is not a buying criterion.
3D animated video is the way to let your product be really understood rather than just be a picture among many others. It lets you explain a complex, feature-rich product in just 120 seconds, making a profound change in understanding and likelihood of purchase.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We have worked with California Technical Media on a range of projects over the last several years and continue to employ their services. All of our projects have involved turning CAD models of prototype devices into both stills and video animations.
The animations h the components have shown a range of topics including all of the components of a device and how they come together, how fluid works within and being injected from the device, how to use tutorials, manakins using the device, and comparisons of one device or prototype verses another. All of these projects have been delivered on time.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Over the many projects, the deliverables have always been drafts and final forms of the stills and video animations they have produced for us. We typically go through 2-3 rounds of feedback.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Overall I have found California Technical Media's communication to be good and their estimates on delivery dates to be very good. If I reach out, I will typically hear from them within 1-2 business days, and if we are actively working on a project, within 1 business day.
