The worlds greenest battery
Cheesecake Energy Ltd. is a start-up developing a sustainable long duration energy storage system. I was hired by Cheesecake Energy Ltd. in July, straight after graduating. They were looking at improving the visuals of their product so that it was more aesthetically pleasing. I was given a lot of freedom in how I approached the brief which gave me a lot of space to be creative. The size of the product wasn't like anything I'd worked on before so the brief was very daunting at first but I happily took on the challenge and the work was received well. From the success of the first project I was then instructed to create more visuals, animations and infographics. I continue to do these tasks but whilst also assuming a Project Management role.
Renders
I was initially hired by Cheesecake to improve the aesthetics of the product's exterior and how it fits into its surroundings. I created a model in Solidworks which was used renders for marketing and meeting material. The renders needed to make the product look attractive and help describe the product better. This was done with in-situ renders to demonstrate the scale and purpose of the product and detail renders to demonstrate how the product works.
Explainer Video
I developed an Explainer Video to outline how the product works and its uses to potential customers and partners. This was drafted initially in a storyboard, then once approval was received, I created animations in Keyshot and stitched them together in Canva. I created some animations in Sketchbook with the flipbook feature so arrows could be added to follow pathways. This video is displayed at conferences and on the website. Some of the animations I created for this video were also shown on a BBC News Segment for COP26.
3D Model
Along with the Explainer Video, this 3D model is displayed at conferences. I was in charge of having the model commissioned from a Solidworks model I created for the renders. As the project had a very tight deadline, I did all the scaling and editing of the model to ensure it was suitable for 3D printing.
