Opsydia | Technical
CGI Explainer Series

A series of short technical CGI films created for Opsydia to help customers, partners and investors quickly understand complex photonics challenges, from fan-out and shoreline density to depth writing and adaptive optics.

Selected films from the series

01 - Optical Connectivity

Shows how Opsydia’s connector block enables precise optical coupling.

02 - Shoreline Density / Fan-Out

Shows how tightly spaced PIC emitters can be fanned out into a wider fibre array.

03 - Depth-Based Density

Shows how writing at depth enables high-density multilayer optical connections.

04 - Edge Writing / Adaptive Optics

Shows how adaptive optics compensates for the increased challenge of writing accurately at the edge and at depth.

WHY THIS SERIES

A set of short CGI films built to make advanced photonics easier to grasp across sales, investor conversations, websites and live demos, without flattening the technical value.

Role: Lead Motion Designer / Creative Direction, Script Compression, CGI & Post
Client: Opsydia (direct)

Brief
Create a series of short technical CGI films that explain complex photonics concepts clearly, quickly, and in a way that feels commercially compelling to customers, partners and investors.

What I did

  • Script shaping: invited the client to “put everything in,” then compressed a multi-page document into a tight ~40s narrative with crisp beats and benefits.

  • Animatics: VO-led animatics (scratch VO + temp music) to lock structure, timing, and on-screen logic.

  • Look-dev & production: lighting, texturing, and Octane rendering in Cinema 4D; designed visuals to demystify the tech while feeling premium.

  • Post & finish: editorial and audio mix for the final films.

Approach

  • Translate dense technical ideas into visuals that make sense fast

  • Use pacing, shot design and hierarchy to support clarity

  • Keep the science intact while improving accessibility for non-technical audiences

  • Build assets that work across sales, investor and presentation contexts

Technical highlights

  • Cinema 4D animation and scene assembly

  • Octane look-dev, lighting and rendering

  • Procedural materials designed for clarity and readability

  • VO-timed motion design, edit and audio mix

  • Delivery-ready outputs for web, decks and social

Outcome
A short CGI explainer series that helped make Opsydia’s technology clearer, faster to grasp and easier to present across sales conversations, investor discussions, websites and live demos.
