A product film for the Dermalux Flex MD, built around a dark-to-light reveal and close views of the LED panel. It is one cut from a wider library made for the same project, which also includes light and dark wide compositions, logo cuts and process material. Watch the film here, then read the case study for the production decisions behind the look.

The film sits within XO3D’s wider work for Dermalux, alongside animations of the Flex Mini, Compact MD and Tri-Wave MD, all built around the same disciplined visual language.

Why the LEDs lead the scene

The LED array is the Flex MD’s defining feature, and the case study records that the client set a high bar for realism. Jack Robertson, the 3D artist who worked on the Dermalux films, describes one lighting rule shared by the Flex MD, Flex Mini and Compact MD: the product’s own light is the main source in the scene, and the colour accents around it follow that light. The LED materials were emissive in the 3D scene, so the lit array is part of the material set-up rather than a glow added on top.

That is why one product feature can carry both the dark and the light treatments. In the dark shots the array lights the device and the floor around it; on the pale background it still reads as the light source. This describes how the film was lit. It is not a measurement of the device’s light output. Read the Flex MD production commentary.

What you see in the film

This is a visual description of the 25-second cut, not a timed shot list. The film opens close on the device in low light, on the Dermalux name and then the Flex mark on the base as the pink light comes up. It pulls back to the whole device, first in a dark space with its light falling on the floor, then on a pale background. A closer view looks up into the arch at the rows of LEDs, and a front view shows the full device lit in the dark. The film ends on the Dermalux logo.

The film is marketing product CGI. It shows the product’s form and its light; it does not show treatment, clinical use or device performance.

Using this film as a reference

If this film is close to what you need, say which part matters: the dark-to-light reveal, the LED detail, or the move between the whole product and a close view. For related device work, see medical and health-tech product CGI and the Flex Mini and Compact MD films listed beside this one.

Two stills from the same project

From the Flex MD project's still library. The film includes similar views, but these are stills, not frames taken from the film.
