Key Takeaways in This Episode:

Using video renderings is like bringing Hollywood to your product design!

Video rendering is essentially taking 3D CAD designs and making a video with that series of images and data.

It is like setting up a virtual camera that provides a full-scope view of the product in the setting where you would naturally find it.

You must also take into account the environment and lighting!

You can create things with video renderings that cannot be done in real life; this is one of its primary advantages.

Exploded view renderings show how the product comes apart and all of its pieces.

You can use these tools to explain a lot about a product and inform potential consumers.

Product demos and tutorials are other uses for video renderings.

How can you direct your designers to build a great hardware product rendering video for what you need?

The core requirement for making the video is creating a storyboard and ordering the elements to effectively tell the story.

Video renderings are standard these days for a great product, but you also need to develop a prototype!

There is post-processing of the video as well to refine the story being told and how it is presented.
