Industry and Technical Animation Case Studies 

Mac Papers industrial training animation explaining packaging workflows

Industrial video production can take many forms depending on the complexity of the subject matter and the goals of the project. Some productions are designed to communicate information clearly and efficiently using straightforward visuals and slower pacing — such as our training video modules — while others require detailed technical animation, layered graphics, and more complex storytelling to explain systems, processes, or industrial operations.

The examples below illustrate how different production approaches can be used to communicate industrial topics effectively, from simpler training-focused videos to more detailed technical and visual presentations.

ADVANCED TECHNICAL ANIMATION

Gerhart Engineering Co.

This project demonstrates a higher level of technical animation used to explain complex industrial systems and processes. The production uses layered visuals, clear motion design, and structured storytelling to guide viewers through detailed concepts.

Key production choices:

  • Layered graphics and motion to reinforce key ideas
  • Clear pacing designed for comprehension and retention
  • Detailed technical visuals to explain complex systems

Where this approach works best

Ideal for organizations that need to explain complex equipment, systems, or processes where visual clarity and technical accuracy are essential.

Intermediate Technical Animation

Delmarva Corrugated Packaging

This project demonstrates a higher level of technical animation used to explain complex industrial systems and processes. The production uses layered visuals, a classic whiteboard animation style, and structured storytelling to guide viewers through detailed concepts.

Key production choices:

  • Simplified visuals focused on key process steps
  • Clear visual sequencing to guide viewers through the workflow
  • Faster pacing to maintain engagement

Where this approach works best:

Ideal for organizations that need to explain operational processes, manufacturing workflows, or employee procedures where clarity is important, but highly detailed system animation is not required.

Essential Technical Animation

Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.

The series was designed as a practical compliance training system, optimized for speed, clarity, and retention. Each video focused on a single topic, allowing employees to complete training in short sessions without disrupting daily operations.

Key decisions included:

• Using concise 2D animation to simplify legal concepts
• Structuring content into short, modular training segments
• Applying clear visual cues to reinforce key rules and actions
• Designing videos for repeat viewing and easy updates

The emphasis was on usability and real-world application.

Choosing the Right Approach

Every industrial communication challenge is a little different. Sometimes a simple visual explanation is enough to guide viewers through a process, while other situations require more detailed technical animation to clarify complex systems. The goal is always the same: making complicated information easier to understand and apply in the real world.
