// CGI for automotive brands

As fast, calm or bold as the
badge on the bonnet.

CGI reveals, launch films and retail content for car brands, motorsport and mobility. Every car brand stands for something specific, and we match the energy of the film to it, from calm and composed to full throttle.

Frantic about the engineering.

Why CGI for automotive?

Car brands are fiercely protective of what they stand for, and most drivers could tell you what each one means. A family estate and a track car need very different films, so we study the brand before we touch the model.

Camera, lighting, pace and sound are all set to match it, so the film feels like the brand as much as it looks like the car.

Cars are designed in CAD long before they’re built, so launch content can be made while the vehicle is still under wraps, with every trim and colour from the same model.

What CGI makes possible for automotive.

Reveal-ready.

Launch films and stills created before the car is publicly shown.

Every spec.

Trims, colours and options from one model, for configurators, ads and dealers.

Matched to the brand.

Camera, pace and lighting set to the energy of the marque, from composed to full throttle.

Any road, any weather.

Cars placed in environments and conditions that would be impossible or unsafe to film.

FAQs

Can you work from our engineering data?

Yes. We convert CAD and engineering data into production-ready models, matching paint codes, materials and every specified option.

Can you produce content for showrooms and large screens?

Yes. We’ve created multi-screen retail content, including an 11-screen takeover for Renault in central London, formatted for any screen size or shape.

How long does an automotive CGI project take?

Typically 3 to 10 weeks from brief to delivery, depending on length, complexity and the number of models and formats.
