Powin

The Future of Energy Storage in 3D


Powin, a global leader in the design and manufacture of safe and scalable battery energy storage solutions, needed a way to showcase their new Centipede battery energy storage system. We teamed up with them to create a product hero video, a technical breakdown, and event video displays for RE+.

We developed a beautiful custom lighting setup to show the product in a natural-looking 3D environment. Using 3D animation, we explored all the parts, functions, and capabilities of the system, including its associated UI.

Technical Breakdown

To effectively market the Centipede product, we developed a clear and concise product hero video, designed to showcase its features and their advantages for consumers. The video commences with visually engaging shots of the product, strategically set in a setting bathed in natural light to accentuate its design. We carefully deconstructed certain elements of the Centipede in the video, complementing these visuals with on-screen text that succinctly explains the function of each component. This approach not only made the information easily digestible but also allowed viewers to appreciate the intricacies of the product.

The video concludes with a demonstrative scene where the Centipede is effortlessly installed on a platform in a desert environment. This specific choice of location not only illustrates the product's ease of installation but also its adaptability and robustness in various settings, be it a controlled indoor space or a harsh outdoor landscape. This final scene is pivotal in portraying the Centipede as a versatile and practical solution, capable of meeting diverse energy storage needs across different geographical contexts. In doing so, the video effectively communicates the product's functionality and its broad applicability, ensuring viewers understand its value in a range of scenarios.

To accurately depict the Centipede's app and platform capabilities, we designed a stylized user interface (UI) that resonates with Powin's brand aesthetic. Our team focused on creating a UI that was both simplified and stylized, aiming to convey the product's core message quickly and effectively. This design strategy emphasized clear and focused communication, showing only the vital information necessary for viewers to grasp the key features and benefits of the product during the video.

Furthermore, this streamlined approach to the UI design served a dual purpose. Not only did it enhance viewer understanding by eliminating any potential confusion, but it also ensured a cohesive visual presentation that aligns seamlessly with Powin's established brand identity. By maintaining this consistency, the UI provided a familiar touchpoint for existing customers while effectively introducing new viewers to the Centipede's functionalities. This careful balance of simplicity, style, and brand alignment made the UI an integral component of the overall product showcase.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
