MayoFlux case study

FS-Elliott HoloLens Demonstration

Client: FS-ElliottIndustry: industrial compressor systemsAgency: EMGRole: Animation & post production / motion graphicsYear: 2018

Problem

FS-Elliott needed polished video, motion graphics, cleanup, or visual effects that made source footage feel clear, finished, and campaign-ready.

Client / industry

FS-Elliott works in industrial compressor systems. MayoFlux framed the work for the audience, use case, and product context behind the assignment.

Input assets

Agency direction from EMG, plus live-action footage, edit notes, brand direction, agency materials, voiceover, music, and review feedback.

Production process

MayoFlux handled post-production, cleanup, motion graphics, color, compositing, sound or conform work, then moved through practical review passes to final delivery.

Deliverables

Final video masters, cleaned or composited shots, motion graphics, color-finished exports, and platform-ready cutdowns as needed.

Outcome

A reusable product story for sales conversations, product pages, launches, and follow-up marketing.

Project notes

EMG secured one of the first Microsoft HoloLens developer kits and asked Mayoflux to repurpose the centrifugal-compressor models from FS-Elliott’s flagship animation. The goal was an interactive mixed-reality demo that sales reps could deploy on site—letting users walk around a life-size compressor, peel away casings, and explore airflow paths with simple hand gestures.

What began as a self-funded R&D effort quickly became a client showpiece. Mayoflux converted the high-poly Cinema 4D assets into Unity, rebuilt materials in a PBR pipeline, and added collider-based hot spots for technical callouts. The main hurdle was teaching people to use the HoloLens' which did in fact cause the HoloLens to be poorly received, it still looked cool. The prototype wowed stakeholders and paved the way for future AR when the hardware gets much better. Mayoflux turns complex visuals into clear stories - let us simplify yours next.
