DAB radio install guide and animated marketing video

Electronic product explainer video example

We produced this product launch explainer video reusing some elements from previous video project for the same client. This consistency of style strengths the branding but also lowers production costs. The client has a range of consumer electronics products and we have successfully produced video for them over the last 15 years.

Four variations of this video were produced for different product models and with different retailer branding.

The basic message of this video is to highlight the customer ‘pain points’ and then offer the solution provided by the product.

The simplicity of the video style is designed to focus on the message rather than the visual medium. The client also wanted higher production values so we added kinetic typography, slick transitions and incorporated existing product photographs.

The video goes beyond being solely a basic explainer video as we also cover electronic product features and fitting options.

Consumer Electronics explainer video service

Nextbase consumer electronics 2d explainer video production

Welcome to our portfolio page showcasing one of our 2D animated explainer videos we crafted for the renowned consumer electronics company, Nextbase. At Offplan3d, we’re passionate about creating captivating visual narratives that engage, inform, and leave a lasting impact.

The communication challenge

How do you swiftly and effectively elucidate the features and importance of a dash cam to the public? That was the task at hand when Nextbase approached us. They needed a way to succinctly convey the value of their dash cams to potential customers, and they turned to us for a solution.

Our approach

We took the reins right from the beginning, crafting a compelling brief and a concise script that hit all the essential points while maintaining the viewer’s interest. The goal was to make an engaging video that would educate and persuade, quickly and effectively in a crowded market.

Our Explainer Video Solution

The animated explainer video we produced was very well received. It seamlessly communicated the benefits of Nextbase’s dash cams in a clear and visually appealing manner. Moreover, we achieved this without the use of audio, as the primary display location was in-store at Point of Sale displays. This challenged us to rely solely on visuals to tell the story – a challenge we embraced with creativity and innovation.

The impact of our work

The video found its home not only in physical stores but also on Nextbase’s official website, social media channels and online shopping sites. This multi-channel approach ensured a broad reach and maximized the video’s impact. The positive response from viewers was overwhelming, as they felt a strong emotional connection with the protagonist of the video.

The creative process

Our journey didn’t stop at the first draft. While the initial video was fully 2D animated with a playful cartoon-style feel, Nextbase’s desire for a more “high-end” appearance prompted us to take a step further. We seamlessly integrated 3D animated CGI elements to elevate the video’s aesthetics and bring a touch of sophistication.

The global reach of our explainer video

Recognizing the video’s universal appeal, we later adapted it into five different language versions. This expansion aimed to break language barriers and reach audiences around the world, cementing the video’s status as a cross-cultural success.

Emotionally engaging video

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project has been witnessing the emotional connection the audience formed with the video’s central character. By crafting a relatable story, viewers felt invested, eagerly anticipating what would happen next and rooting for a positive resolution.

Seamless Excellence in Catalogue Visualization: Offplan3D's Legacy

For years, Offplan3D has been the driving force behind our client’s catalogue imagery, breathing life into a diverse range of around 25 walk-in baths, showers, and limited mobility bathing solutions.

Whether from supplied plans or photographs, our 3D CAD models were meticulously assembled, capturing every nuance of each bath and shower.

Unified Elegance: A Cohesive Visual Identity

The essence of our endeavor was to cultivate a unified look and feel across the catalogue’s diverse offerings. Offplan3D brought this vision to life by using the same background sets for a consistent aesthetic, creating an impactful visual identity that resonates seamlessly across the entire range of products. Our CGI magic transformed individual items into a harmonious collection that captivates and inspires.

BurBax Boilers

The engineering CGI marketing renders below were commissioned by a boiler manufacturer. The product shown was only at a prototyping stage so traditional photograph wouldn’t have been possible. The final image was used in a print catalogue and website.

Dashcam fitting instructional video

packaging and unboxing of consumer electronics animated video

This dashcam instructional CGI video was created by Offplan3d. It was included with the product as a DVD and also available online. The purpose was to explain the fitting and basic operation of this new type of dashcam. The client saved a lot of product returns from customers who couldn’t be bothered to read the manual to be able to set the dashcam up.

4K dash cam marketing video production

This product video was one of the first of it’s kind to explain the innovative 4K resolution dash cam video recording at a consumer electronics level.

Our job as a video marketing company was to explain the benefits of this technology to the consumer. The main issue seemed to be that the public don’t really understand the concept of ‘resolution’. 4K may be ‘better’ than HD 1080p but why would you spend an extra £100 for it?

By zooming into a number plate, on actual dashcam footage we were able to show exactly why the extra video clarity makes all the difference.

We also produced a 3d model of this dash cam that customers could interact with in Facebook.

Gainsborough Baths

Our bathroom CGI visualisation service produced several brochure images of care home assisted bathing. The 3d model bathroom set we built had to accurately reflect the clinical regulations in place while also being contemporary and show casing the bath in a attractive light. The images in the gallery below show how the final CGI visualisation image was arrived at.

Van Guard manufacturing

There were multiple jobs under discussion for this large manufacturing client. The first was for a 7 meter wide exhibition backdrop. A variety of floor surface materials were tried out as well as different location options. There were also catalogue CGI images, interactive 3d models and videos to follow (2016).

[layerslider id="11"]

The interactive 3d model below was built for the client from scratch. The 3d model we built is around 10 times faster to load and interact than the original CAD model. Also photo-real lighting is ‘baked’ into the model along with using ‘real time’ lighting and reflections. This allows quick and efficient interaction with any users device.

The interactive 3d model below was built to demonstrate how we could solve the clients marketing problem. The shelving units inside a small van interior would be very difficult to convey to a customer using photography or video. A 180 degree ‘fish-eye’ lens on a camera would have a lot of distortion. Similarly using a video camera and rotating 360 degrees would lead to motion sickness (unless done very slowly, which would lose the viewers’ attention).

We achieved this by making an interactive 3d model which the customer can fully navigate in 3d space. We also made the van interior only visible from one side.

Nextbase Mirror dashcam

A marketing video to explain and sell a new dashcam from 2017 (not in production at the time of video creation).

This was shown in-store on Point Of Sale display stands and online (via the manufacturer, Nextbase, and various retailer websites e.g Halfords, Ebay).

We have produced over thirty product videos for Nextbase and their associated brands. This has covered a range of consumer electronics from Internet radios to waterproof TV’s to in-car DVD players to dash-cams.

These videos have been so successful that the UK distributor has resold them internationally. We have currently reproduced these videos in three other languages. We have also supplied videos direct to the Chinese manufacturing company.
