Hero film

The full hero film.

The Brief

A redesigned product, a bigger story.

Allwood Joinery returned to XO3D with a new version of Modulite. It had a new assembly method, new materials and a new visual identity.

The film had to explain the modular design, finish and room context. Physical production was still under way.

We made one hero film with voice-over, sound and simulation. Clear connection shots and a closing-door transition hold the story together.

Project answer

Why use CGI for this project?

  1. What we made

    XO3D created a cinematic launch film for Allwood Joinery's redesigned Modulite interior system, showing its assembly, materials and modular room applications.

  2. Why CGI

    The physical product was still ramping up, so CGI could explain the new connection logic and place Modulite in finished interiors before a full shoot was possible.

  3. What was delivered

    Allwood received a hero film, feature cuts, interior stills, assembly sequences, voice-over and sound design for the launch.

The Work

Hero film, feature cuts, signature transitions.

The launch library starts with one hero film. Short cuts then explain the modular system, finish and room context.

  1. 01Hero Film

    A cinematic product reveal for launch.

    The main Modulite film brings voice-over, sound and CGI into one launch asset. It introduces the new product through a clear visual story.

  2. 02Feature Animation

    Product features, explained in motion.

    This focused cut shows the new assembly method, materials and finish. Viewers can understand the product before they see a physical sample.

  3. 03Floating Blocks

    Modularity as a visual language.

    Floating blocks turn the modular system into a simple visual idea. The short sequence works well on web and social channels.

  4. 04Connection Logic

    How parts slot together, made obvious.

    This close sequence shows how each part aligns and locks. We checked the motion with Allwood so the build stays true to the product.

  5. 05Interior Context

    Real-world rooms, photoreal lighting.

    Room transitions place Modulite in kitchen and living spaces. The same light and colour link every shot to the main film.

  6. 06Door Transition

    A closing door becomes a finished room.

    A closing Modulite door reveals the finished room. This product action becomes the key transition in the film.

Marketing-Ready Assets

Drop-in cuts for web, social and decks.

We made each short cut from the same CGI source. The assets fit product pages, social posts and sales decks.

Client Review

“This was our first time working with XO3D and it won’t be our last. Alex and Connor were very professional, proactive and fun to work with. The guys delivered an exceptional animation from a very complicated brief.”

What made this project special?

Studio Commentary.

Allwood returned after our first project together. This brief covered a new product design and gave us more room to shape the film.

A fire at the factory paused production. We used that time to develop the simulation, sound and direction around one strong launch asset.

The result is a complete product film that explains Modulite from assembly to finished room.

Modulite V1

From V1 to the final Modulite.

Our first Modulite project set the base. Its build, exploded and turntable cuts helped shape the new film.

Behind the Scenes

Greycard passes, locking the story.

We reviewed every shot in greycard before final light. This let Allwood check motion, timing and each connection early.

The deliverable

A full launch render library, built once, used everywhere.

The same CGI scene supplied room stills, greycard passes and moodboards. This kept the full launch library consistent.

Your next project

A brief of your own.

Use the Modulite project as a reference for the decisions you want to discuss. Identify the product detail, camera treatment or explanation that matters to your own audience, then scope the new work around your product.

A route to consider

Technical CGI

An explanation of a product or mechanism built from approved source information, with technical review before finishing.

Bring these three things.

  1. What is useful about the Modulite reference?
  2. What is different about your product?
  3. Where and when does the work need to appear?

Start with an outline. We review the product, intended outputs and timing before agreeing the production scope.
