Installation animation, bracket to power-on.
An 11-second installation film for a wall-mounted under-sink appliance. The bracket goes on the wall, the unit clicks into place, hot and cold hoses connect to the angle valves, and the plug goes in. Four steps a printed manual struggles to show clearly.

What the visuals had to do.
- Fewer support callsShow each installation step clearly enough that installers do not need to phone support.
- A real settingA believable under-sink environment, so the installer recognises the situation immediately.
- No language barrierReadable without words, so one film works in every market.
How we built it.
The appliance and bracket were prepared from CAD, and the under-sink environment was built around real fittings: angle stop valves, trap and waste pipe, and a wall socket.
Flexible hoses were modelled as bending geometry, so they route naturally from the unit to the valves.
The steps are timed so each one can also be exported as a still for the printed quick-start guide.
Where these visuals work
- Installation manuals and quick-start guides
- Support pages and QR codes on the box
- Installer training
- Product pages and marketplaces

Questions.
Can installation animations replace printed manuals?
They complement them. Most clients put a QR code on the box and in the manual that links to the film, and use stills from the same scene in the printed steps.
How much does an installation animation cost?
Assembly, installation and service films start at $6,400. Short single-step films can be quoted as feature films from $3,900.
