CGi (Visual Effect)
To mark the opening of our new branch in Dubai, Animus Studio created a cinematic CGI launch video that blends creative ambition with technical precision. The goal was to announce our presence in the region with a bold visual statement — one that reflects our vision, energy, and storytelling power.
Challenges Faced
Balancing Style and Clarity: Striking the right visual balance between abstract creativity and recognizable Dubai landmarks.
High-Quality Rendering: Achieving cinematic-level visuals while optimizing for smooth playback and fast loading across digital platforms.
Symbolic Storytelling: Translating the Animus brand identity into metaphorical visual cues that still feel accessible to a broad audience.
Project Phases
1. Concept Development
We started with a simple idea: "A new creative force enters the city." The concept evolved into a narrative that visually journeys — a symbol of origin and transformation — into the dynamic skyline of Dubai. We aimed to represent creativity as a living, moving force.
2. Environment Design & CGI Modeling
We custom-built stylized 3D environments, including , futuristic architectural elements, and a glowing representation of the Dubai skyline. Our team paid special attention to light, textures, and motion to give the video a cinematic and immersive feel.
3. Animation & Visual Effects
With a focus on fluid transitions and energy flow, we animated the environment to reflect the evolution of the studio. Key visual elements — like a rising logo, morphing architecture, and glowing pathways — were used to symbolize growth, creativity, and momentum.
4. Sound Design & Music Composition
To elevate the emotional impact, we paired the visuals with custom sound design and a dynamic, modern score that rises with the visuals, ending on a powerful and confident tone.
Results & Impact:
Successfully launched the Dubai branch with a visually impactful campaign that generated buzz across social media and client networks.
Strengthened Animus Studio’s brand presence in the MENA region through a bold, shareable content piece.
Positioned the studio as a forward-thinking, global creative partner — ready to collaborate with brands in the region and beyond.
