Concept & brief
The goal was to create a clean and cinematic product animation that focused on the bottle through smooth transitions and visually engaging storytelling. Each shot was designed to flow naturally into the next, using continuous camera movement to maintain visual continuity and build towards a satisfying final product reveal and assembly.
Process
I handled the 3D animation, environment setup, lighting, and compositing for the project. Starting with the initial bottle reveal, I developed the sequence shot by shot and introduced procedural rocks and natural elements to build a grounded environment. The rocks were generated using Blender’s Extra Mesh add-on and textured using BlenderKit assets. Lighting was a key part of the visual development — strategically placed area lights with controlled spread created directional highlights and soft gradient backgrounds, giving the bottle a premium cinematic appearance. In compositing, I added a subtle fog and glow effect to enhance the atmosphere and dramatic feel.
Delivery
The final shot brings the animation together with the bottle cap landing precisely onto the bottle, completing the product assembly. The project was completed in approximately 1.5 days, including rendering, with the final animation rendered as a 1080 × 1920 vertical image sequence for stability and flexibility during post-production.
