Trusted by leading brands to tell their stories

The Importance of Industrial Construction Animation

Industrial construction isn't just about buildings, it’s about orchestrating complex sequences, integrating specialised machinery, and ensuring safety at every stage. You‘d struggle to tell this story with a normal “live-action” video camera, but luckily, our animation services bring these elements to life, helping you:

  • Clearly illustrate construction phases, from groundwork to final assembly
  • Demonstrate the installation and operation of heavy industrial equipment
  • Visualise logistics, site safety protocols, and workflow optimisations
  • Support training, stakeholder engagement, and marketing communications

Did you know, 72% of consumers used video to learn about a product instead of reading text in a user’s manual. That’s why animation is so powerful, it’s a tool which can make even the most technical or abstract construction concepts accessible to any audience. Whether you need to explain health & safety procedures, showcase a new facility, or highlight the benefits of your construction services, we create animations that intrigue, educate, and convert.

How Industrial Construction Animation Works

Imagine if you will, a brand new industrial construction. It’s for a new powerplant who wants to demonstrate to their stakeholders the impact this will have in urban landscapes and the different phases of construction. From breaking ground to even the health and safety checkpoints, you can mark everything that renders this project unique and different at every stage in animation. At Tricks, every project follows a proven, ISO9001 certified, process to ensure technical accuracy, timely delivery, visual impact as well as giving the audience something to remember.

That’s the power of animation when told by the professionals, like ourselves at Tricks. 

We use our knowledge of industrial construction animation services to combine industry expertise with creative storytelling. Here’s how we do it:

  • Research & Conceptualisation: We work with your team to understand your project’s unique challenges and goals, ensuring every animation is rooted in real-world expertise.

  • 2D & 3D Modelling: Whether it is machinery or structures, our team works with the cutting edge software to recreate what you need to best showcase your industrial construction.

  • Dynamic Animation: We visualise step-by-step construction sequences, equipment installation, and site logistics, making complex processes easy to follow - that’s storytelling!

  • Environmental Detailing: You can have realistic lighting, textures, and site conditions to immerse viewers and enhance understanding. Or you could use stylised illustrations to show how things could, or would, look.

Tailored for Your Audience

Knowing what you want to achieve and knowing what your audience wants to see are important. We know that every audience is different and so making the right industrial construction animation crafted to meet your specific needs:

  • Technical Animations: Whether you need something an engineer can point to and say, “just like this” or be a reference point for contractors, we can put that together. 
  • Simplified Visuals: Clear, engaging storytelling for public outreach or investor presentations.
  • Educational Content: Focused on safety, sequencing, and the benefits of your construction solutions.

Why Choose Tricks for Industrial Construction Animation?

Animation is in our blood. It’s all we do. We tell stories where cameras can’t and we do it by listening and relaying the information you give which means there are no surprises. We find the best way to communicate to your audience in ways that are different from standard communication tools. 

This all means one thing, we have the experience and know-how to make your animation stand out and that experience means; 

  • Proactive over reactive: We foresee where the issue can be in telling the story and find solutions to be able to tell your unique story and message before we present our ideas to you. 
  • Bespoke to you: We don’t take a cookie cutter approach, instead we build animations that are to your persona and your brand voice. 
  • Collaboration: We know that the best animations come from an in-depth collaboration at the very beginning with a briefing process that is unmatched. We identify the key message, the style, the language, your audience, your objectives and so much more. It’s what gives us confidence to deliver an animation that stands the test of time and gives you a product that delivers. 
  • Versatility: We don’t make animations for one screen size or device. Based on what you need, we make the animation that fits the devices and where your audience will view it for web, mobile, presentations, and events.

We played their video at a trade event and everyone stopped talking, turned and watched the video. The room fell silent. The video did exactly what we wanted it to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start an industrial construction animation?

Much like building a… building, a construction animation starts with a brief. Ours are incredibly in depth, asking a variety of questions to give us the best opportunity to showcase what you want to tell and who you want to tell it to.

How can industrial construction animation benefit my project?

It makes complex processes easy to understand, supporting training, stakeholder communication, and marketing efforts.

How long will an industrial animation take to create?

This totally depends on the complexity of the animation and the key message. We have turned out animations with scripts from initial brief in 10 days whilst others - very complex animations have taken a month or a bit longer. It totally depends on your requirements.

What types of industrial construction can you animate?

We cover everything from site preparation and steel framework assembly to machinery installation and facility logistics.

What types of animation work best for industrial construction safety videos?

Animation is the perfect tool to help explain safety measures on an industrial construction video. You can highlight dangers without putting and actor - or stunt actor in danger, moreover, you can you really highlight dangers on a site and then use the animation for engineer onboarding.

Are your animations suitable for “non-technical” audiences?

Totally. We make sure that we get our visuals to suit any audience, ensuring clarity and engagement at every level.
