Mainframe

Photorealistic CGI and 3D animation for brands that need a product, a material or a mechanism shown exactly right. We build products, packaging, liquids, surfaces and devices in 3D, then light and render them to match existing photography across every format a campaign needs. Our work includes Aston Martin, Harrods, Glenfiddich, Google Pixel and Oppo, alongside pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device visualisation for Haleon, Alexion AstraZeneca and ConMed. Because the assets are built once and held as a library, each new requirement becomes a version rather than a rebuild.

We make the visual content advertising campaigns run on, rather than the media plan behind them. Mainframe works as a direct creative partner to brands and to specialist agencies across luxury, drinks, technology, product and healthcare, covering concept, CGI, animation and final delivery for film, social, OOH and in-store. Clients include Aston Martin, Harrods, Glenfiddich, Johnnie Walker, Google Pixel, Oppo, Red Bull, Haleon and Fingerpaint. We plug into existing teams and carry the message from brief to screen with clarity intact.

Design-led motion for advertising, product launches and complex communication. We take a brief from concept and storyboard through 3D and 2D animation, VFX and grade to final delivery, in every format and aspect ratio a campaign runs in. Clients include Red Bull, BBC2, Johnnie Walker and Google Pixel, alongside mechanism of action and medical device animation for Haleon, GSK, Alexion AstraZeneca and Fingerpaint. Twenty eight years and 1,735 projects of translating complex ideas into clear visual storytelling.

CGI-led film production, from a single hero film to a scalable suite of content. We make commercials, product and brand films, launch content and mechanism of action animation, delivered in every cut, ratio and language a campaign needs. Accuracy is our baseline, and we work alongside your existing teams rather than adding layers. Our Panadol work with Haleon tested as the number one concept out of twelve, with 72% aided brand recall and 69% purchase intent.
