dockyard. 3d, ai cgi and ai vfx from vienna

3D animation, CGI and VFX at dockyard is the work of our animation team in Vienna, led by Marcos Medvedov with art director Andreina Díaz Beltrán, classic 3D or with AI as AI CGI and AI VFX. We animate our own films and work inside our live-action productions when a shot cannot be done with a camera.

3D animation and CGI

Product visualisations, 3D characters and CGI environments. For the Siemens initiative one4all we combined live action with 3D animation to show what climate-neutral mobility could look like.

Motion design

Motion graphics for campaigns and social media, logo animations, idents and lower thirds, from the first style frame to the final cut.

Explainer videos

Explainer videos in 2D or 3D, for products, services and processes that are hard to explain in words. We write the script with you or work from yours.

VFX and compositing

In Eddie Benjamin’s music video “All for Nothing” the singer appears several times in the same frame, shot with a Bolt camera crane in a Viennese palace, with Marcos Medvedov as VFX supervisor. For Julius Meinl we made a dream-like spot with VFX by Marcos Medvedov.

Animation and live action in one film

For Quest and C82 in Berlin a building comes to life, with Marcos Medvedov as head of animation. Animation can carry a film on its own or be part of a commercial as a product visualisation or packshot. More on live action under commercials.

Stop motion and illustration

Animation made by hand, shot or drawn frame by frame, plus characters, scenes and key visuals drawn in a style that fits the brand.

AI CGI and AI VFX

We use AI to extend 3D and VFX: environments, set extensions and elements that would be too costly the classic way, plus mood films and previews. Only what holds up in the frame goes in. Whole films from the AI pipeline are made by our sister brand VAIN, under the same roof as dockyard. All services under design & animation.

Frequently asked questions

What does a 3D animation or explainer video cost?

That depends on length, style, the number of scenes and characters, the level of 3D detail and whether live action is involved. After your brief you get an estimate that lists each step from style frame to final cut.

Can you combine animation and live action?

Yes, that is a large part of our work. Because animation and live action are made under the same roof, we plan both together: which shot is filmed, which is animated and where the two meet.

Do you also do animation and VFX?

Yes. Our design and animation team produces 2D animation and motion graphics, explainer videos, 3D animation, CGI and VFX, stop motion, illustration and brand design. Animation can stand on its own or be combined with live action, for example for product visualisations or packshots in a commercial.

Do you use AI in your productions?

Yes, where it helps the project: for AI mood films, previews and animation, and in post-production. We use AI as a tool alongside human creative work and handle it responsibly, including the question of rights to generated content. Whether and how AI is used is agreed with you for each production. AI film production is the work of our sister brand VAIN.

How do we start a project with you?

Send us a short brief via the contact form or to office@dockyard.at: what the film should achieve, target audience, channels and formats, timing and, if you already have one, a budget frame. We come back with questions or a first concept and a cost estimate that shows shoot days, crew, locations and post-production.
