Xinas skills that went into this project


    • Research and data gathering in cooperation with the archaeological expert team from The Missing Link.
    • 3D modelling of the mounds and  realistic landscape visualization.
    • Panoramic rendering of the environement for use on the web and in tablets apps.

Historically correct 3D reconstructions


Following recent archaeological findings of the remains of the prehistoric graves in Dalfsen area, the local municipality wanted to publish the findings and the historical information to the public in an interesting way. The findings were pretty unique and widely reported in the press.

Xinas was asked to create a 3D reconstruction of the landscape and the burial mounds (graves) in this area as they would have been during the prehistoric era. A challenge is the little information available about the landscape and the burial mounds during those times. To develop the reconstruction as close as possible to the reality during that era, Xinas worked closely with advisers and archeologists from The Missing Link to create a realistic recreation in 3D of the mounds and the findings.

Animated Infotainment For Amusement Parks


This animation is aimed at entertainment  as well as providing important safety guide instructions before the visitors entering a ride at an amusement park.
In line with the attractions title, we used one of the branded characters named Tim as the main actor and narrator in this video.

The challenge of the project is developing the concept of a short instruction video (less than 3 minutes)  that is although short but still attractive and clear enough to understand by both children and adult audience.To achieve this we created a mix of 3D and 2D visuals layered with humor and jokes to make the instruction interesting enough for audiences of all ages.

Motion Graphics With Voice Over


This dutch spoken animation takes the viewer through the various timelayers one single location goes through over time. Starting back in neolithic ages, it tracks back how burial urns from that era have sat under our feet for thousands of years before being dug up by archealogists.
