The Brief


Innovative, cutting-edge, and unrivalled — that’s what our client had in mind when they approached us to create a 3D animation for their online cyber security academy. They wanted a video to perfectly encapsulate what they had to offer, which is industry-leading training programs to educate, inspire, and connect cybersecurity leaders and professionals within the space. The challenge was to create a concise yet compelling cyber security animation that was forward-thinking, inventive, and would ultimately set our client apart as world leaders in the sector. So, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

Our Response


We created a 45-second video using glowing 3D particles, taking audiences on a journey to a futuristic digital universe. We drew inspiration from the client’s newly created hero image on their website, which featured different academy users made up of bright star-like shapes. This image evoked an interstellar feel and helped kickstart our creative process. 

High-tech visuals were produced using powerful X-particles software that we apply for many of our 3D particle projects. Realistic lighting elevated the visuals, with the moving particles illuminated from the inside. This gave a hyper-realistic, cinematic quality to the video. From luminous particles to swirling nebulas, the cyber security animation was the perfect teaser for the training academy and its ecosystem of educational resources.

Style frames


The capabilities of a particle animation are truly impressive and this project depicts exactly what it can achieve. Featuring a diverse range of 3D shapes that move through the video, you can see from the style frames the different assets we created that were designed to reference space, stars, and planets. 

3D particles are perfect for creating dynamic visuals that can emulate the true-to-life movements of elements like liquid, fire, and in this case, glowing particles and solar systems. This technique brought the video together and is exactly what the client had in mind to showcase their prestigious online training programmes.

behind the scenes


Cyber security is all about systems, networks and data, so what better way to visualise this than through shining particles that transform into planets and solar systems?

Intended to reinforce the interconnectivity of the academy and its impact on joining together business leaders and professionals in the cyber security industry, we sought to create a visual narrative that would not only captivate but also communicate the complex concepts of the online programmes in a clear and engaging manner. The video takes viewers on an intergalactic adventure through time and space, resonating with the educated audience and embodying our client’s high-tech vision, all inspired by the digital, data-driven world of cybersecurity.

The movement was an incredibly important creative aspect of the cyber security animation. It was expertly created to mimic the realistic movements of free-flowing particles as they moved across the screen and morphed into different shapes. 

the result


So, what was the final result? A futuristic brand animation that expertly promotes the cyber security training academy to both established professionals and the next generation of cyber security leaders. The video shows the brilliance of the educational content on offer and solidifies the client’s position as a globally renowned learning hub. 

Producing 3D particles as part of a project is one of our favourite types of styles to work with as it gives us the ability to create an ultra-polished end product with both engaging and realistic visuals. We thoroughly relished working on the project, thanks to the creative collaboration with our client who was over the moon with the end result, which is always our ultimate goal.

For us, it was an absolute privilege to work with such a prestigious organisation and bring their vision to life. We can’t wait to continue working with this client on several over-tech animation projects that we will be showcasing in the very near future.
