Product Spotlight
Humanscale Summa
The Summa is an executive conference chair built for the corner office and the boardroom: mustard textile upholstery, a polished aluminum base and a recline that responds to body weight instead of knobs and levers. We created this concept as a free sample to show how a short promo video can sell a premium chair in seconds.
Challenges Faced
Key Challenges:
Sell Premium in 10 Seconds
Communicate luxury materials and comfort before a social feed scrolls past.
Make the Model Render-Ready
Turn a public manufacturer’s 3D file into a clean, accurately scaled render model.
Show Real Context
Move from studio close-ups to a believable boardroom with people in it.
Our Solution
From a Public 3D File to a Promo Video in 4 Days
We started from the manufacturer’s publicly available 3D model, optimized it and prepared it for rendering. In hybrid visualization, the real-world scale of the textile weave, stitching and wood matters, so we rebuilt the materials at true size. 3D handled camera moves and product consistency; AI image-to-video added atmosphere, light and people.
Storyboard First
Planned every shot — fly-around, close-ups, turn, scene transition — before production started.
True-Scale Materials
Textile weave, stitching and wood mapped at real-world scale, so close-ups and wide shots match.
Lifestyle Finale
A smooth transition into a boardroom scene with a meeting, showing the chair in use.
