9 Product Stills
1 3D animated video
Results and Impact
AWH uses the stills as menu images for its Ascend dispensaries. It's also used its animated video on social media and in dispensaries to market the Simply Herb line of vapes.
The Problem
AWH was rebranding some of its products and wanted to start marketing, but the packaging didn't exist at the time.
Production Process
AWH sent us examples of the packing they were likely to use, along with dimensions, labels, and brand guides. With all that info, our team got to work modeling each of the products. Getting the textures right was critical to making the renders feel indistinguishable from traditional photos.
After delivering the Ozone branded products, we reused the vaporizer model, with a few adjustments, to create a product launch video for AWH's Simply Herb vapes. The video was rendered in multiple versions due to different laws around marketing in various states.
Animation Style
The Simply Herb video is 3D animation. We created fluid simulations to hit the cartridges with fruit juice at different angles. The camera zooms in, with each flavor having its own moment. This was done so that AWH could split the video up later when marketing individual flavors. We delivered the video in both 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios. The dispensary displays use the traditional 16:9, while the 9:16 was framed for social media.
