About Nexus Motion

What does Nexus Motion do?
We design and produce 3D animation, projection mapping, concert visuals, product demos, motion graphics, and cinematic visual effects for live shows, broadcast, advertising, and themed attractions.

Which industries do you serve most often?
Entertainment, technology, music, themed parks, corporate events, sports, & games.

Can you handle turnkey production or single-shot support?
Yes. We scale from concept-to-delivery campaigns to one-off visual effects tasks depending on client needs.

How early should we involve you?
Ideally, in pre-production, so we can align creative ideas with technical specs, screen sizes, and budgets.

What is a typical project timeline?
Small projects can wrap in two to four weeks. Large multi-screen shows may take twelve weeks or more. Timelines vary with approvals, render hours, and onsite integration.

Definitions and Techniques

What is projection mapping?
Projection mapping is the process of aligning video onto real-world surfaces such as buildings, sculptures, or stage props so the visuals appear native to the structure.

What is screen replacement?
Screen replacement swaps a monitor, phone, or TV image in footage with new content in post-production while preserving camera movement, reflections, and perspective.

What is motion tracking?
Motion tracking analyzes live-action footage to capture camera or object movement. The data lets artists pin graphics, text, or CG assets into the scene so they stick naturally.

What are concert visuals?
Concert visuals are custom animations and videos played on LED walls or projection screens during live performances to amplify mood, narrative, and brand identity.

What is kinetic typography?
Kinetic typography is animated text that moves, scales, or morphs in sync with music or voiceover to emphasize meaning or rhythm.

What is photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry converts hundreds of photos or drone images into a precise 3D model of real-world objects or locations for accurate visualization and pre-visualization.

What is a pyro simulation?
A pyro simulation is a digital recreation of fire, smoke, or explosion physics used in visual effects to show realistic combustion without live flames.

What is a fluid simulation?
Fluid simulation digitally mimics water, oil, or other liquids responding to forces such as gravity and wind, making splashes, waves, or fountains look real on screen.

What is dome projection?
Dome projection is video rendered & formatted for 360-degree projection inside a dome structure.

What does pre-viz mean?
Pre-viz, short for pre-visualization, is a rough 3D or animatic preview that checks lighting, camera moves, and screen alignment before final production.

What is real-time media server playback?
A media server cues, blends, and maps high-resolution video to multiple outputs in real time, allowing precise sync between visuals, lighting, and music cues.

What is LED pixel pitch?
Pixel pitch measures the distance between LED pixels. Smaller pitch equals higher resolution and smoother imagery on stage screens.

Process and Logistics

How do you price projects?
Pricing considers creative labor, render time, onsite integration, hardware rentals, and travel. We provide itemized estimates after clarifying scope.

Can you integrate with other studios or agencies?
Yes. We often share scene files, color pipelines, and delivery schedules to slot into larger productions.

How do you ensure visuals match physical screens?
We request CAD drawings, take laser measurements onsite, build 3D scene replicas, and run pre-viz tests before final renders.

What deliverables will we receive?
Typical hand-offs include final ProRes or H.264 files, playback templates, source project files if required, and a setup guide for crew.
