Historie

WHO

Concept Illustration & Animation (CIA) was established in Stavanger, Norway, in 1996.

Establishing itself alongside the technological revolution in digital computer aided design, modeling and animation of the 1990’s, the company has expanded gradually, attracting a select pool of talented employees.

Creating a combination of modern animation and visual effects and extensive relevant operational experience within offshore drilling, engineering and design.

CIA is organised around a small unit – mainly project oriented – which exploit the speed, and flexibility a small company naturally has, CIA systematically invests in the skills of our employees and 'state of the art' technology. At the same time the company recruits new expertise in areas for strategic improvement and expansion.



WHAT

As its name implies, CIA focus specifically on creating and developing concepts, illustrations, and animations. Our expertise is mainly related to Drilling Rigs,and the energy and offshore industry, although we quite often work for customers from other industries.

Typical projects that we work on could be anything from a pure visualization of a offshore vessel or piece of equipment just based on existing drawings or photographs, to concept development work based on a scetch or idea, all the way through to final as-built design and visualization.

The main advantage we have over an engineering team working in software such as AutoCAD, Inventor, PDMS, is the speed at which we can model equipment and structures and animate them in 3D Studio Max to determine if the arrangement and layout can be optimised, then quickly implement refinements and changes and re-animate.

Another advantage is our extensive previous operational experience within offshore drilling, engineering and design.
