Abbott Animated BlogOver the past several years at Abbott Animation, we have been increasingly involved with incident recreation projects. When something goes wrong at a plant or at a refinery — an explosion, a fire, or a chemical release — government investigators or private sector consultants may come to us asking for an incident recreation. These are […]
Often some interest can be applied to your logo with a bit of animation. We humans have been hardwired to notice and pay attention to movement. While designing a logo isn’t exactly on the same threat index as a tiger or even a fast moving car, we pick up on it all the same. There […]

After researching existing animations in the industry we realized our work could really position our clients light-years apart from their competitors. The simulation in various aspects of a mine pit and environment were key to the […]
The complexity of this project and excitement of working with an international client really got us moving at our studio. The objective was to develop a highly visual and engaging video for a major product launch.
