Northwest Lineman College
3D Product Animation
This is a project that I, Prestin Apsley, worked on while employed by Northwest Lineman College. All content belongs to Northwest Lineman College (NLC). NLC is an educational institution that trains workers for successful careers in the electric, telecom, and natural gas industries.
For this project, we produced and delivered 2 training videos in partnership with STB Electrical Test Equipment, INC.
The Problem:
STB only had paper instructions for their Phasing/Voltmeter product
There are very specific steps that must be taken when using the tool
Northwest Lineman College needed training for this type of equipment
Since the process has more than a few steps it would be beneficial for students to revisit after initially learning from an instructor.
The Solution:
Create two videos
Phasing (Important when re-energizing a power system)
Voltage Detection (Important when approaching a powerline to perform work)
Use 3D to creatively demonstrate how the meter works
This approach would be more effective than having a talking head
Project Roles:
Pre-production
Directing
Post-production
3D/Animation
Motion Graphics
Filming took place on de-energized powerlines, so all meter dials needed to be animated in order to “show” the presence of electricity. All needles moving on screen were done in post-production.
