3D Industrial Animation Specialist Automated Bottling & Packaging Line Led the 3D visualization and animation of a full-facility automated bottling and packaging line for a beverage manufacturer preparing a Series B funding round. Created a 3.5-minute investor visualization of an 80-meter production system operating at 24,000 units/hour, covering 14 machines including infeed conveyors, a robotic case packer, three six-axis robotic arms, filling, labeling, capping, and robotic palletizing. Reconciled partial CAD from three equipment vendors with inconsistent units, scales, coordinate origins, and conflicting conveyor interfaces. Combined the vendor CAD with a hand-drawn facility layout and plant-engineer walkthrough to build the full facility-scale model and production-line layout. Personally handled robotic motion choreography, materials, lighting, camera direction, animation and simulation timing, final rendering, and investor-cut editing. The biggest challenge was getting three incompatible CAD sets into one accurate scene when the physical production line had not yet been built. I established a master scale reference, normalized the CAD against it, and identified two real equipment interface clashes before the equipment was ordered, allowing the client's engineer to resolve the conflicts before costly rework. Delivered through four milestones: layout and camera-path approval, full-line animatic, hero-shot lighting/render approval, and final full-length and 60-second investor cuts. The animation became the centerpiece of the Series B investor pitch and was later reused for supplier negotiations and staff training. The project supported a reported $3.2M funding round, with the client identifying the animation as a key asset that helped investors understand what they were funding.
