Project Overview
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) collaborated with Austin Visuals to produce a 2.5-minute 3D corporate animation titled Penguins. Created for an internal meeting in Portugal, the animation aimed to communicate corporate themes such as teamwork, enablement, and organizational growth. By utilizing a creative narrative with penguin characters and a steam-powered train, the video delivered key messages in a visually engaging way while maintaining a professional tone.
The animation was intended to inspire BCG’s team, support organizational messaging, and serve as a compelling resource for internal communication.
The Challenge
BCG required a visually engaging and professional animation to represent their corporate focus areas, including Pricing, Strategy, and Leadership & Talent. The project needed to:
- Simplify Complex Themes: Illustrate corporate goals in a creative and easy-to-follow manner.
- Integrate Branding: Incorporate BCG’s brand elements seamlessly into the animation to maintain consistency.
- Engage the Audience: Use storytelling and visuals to captivate and resonate with viewers.
- Meet a Tight Deadline: Deliver the animation within a limited timeframe to ensure it was ready for the event.
Creating a 3D animation that balanced creativity with clarity, while aligning with BCG’s goals, was key to the project’s success.
The Solution
Austin Visuals developed a custom 3D corporate animation that effectively communicated BCG’s themes and goals.
- Creative Storytelling: The animation featured a steam-powered train labeled “Enablement,” symbolizing progress and collaboration. The train stopped at various stations, including Pricing, Strategy, and Leadership & Talent, visually representing BCG’s focus areas. Penguins acted as relatable characters, adding a lighthearted yet professional tone to the narrative.
- High-Quality Visuals: Austin Visuals created detailed 3D models for the train and its environment, incorporating particle effects like steam and glowing coal to enhance realism and engagement.
- Brand Consistency: BCG’s branding was integrated throughout the video, including logos, thematic banners, and consistent color schemes.
- Professional Sound Design: Train whistles, brakes, and background music (Ant Parade/Ode to Joy) were added to create an immersive viewing experience.
- Collaborative Process: Regular feedback sessions ensured that all client requirements were met and that the final product aligned with BCG’s expectations.
The Results
The completed 3D corporate animation effectively communicated BCG’s themes in a clear and engaging way. Key outcomes included:
- Enhanced Communication: The animation simplified complex corporate ideas, making them accessible and memorable for the internal audience.
- Professional Image: High-quality visuals and seamless branding reinforced BCG’s reputation as a leader in its industry.
- Audience Engagement: The creative storytelling and penguin characters captured the audience’s attention, delivering the intended messages effectively.
