    The art of building Deep Tech Company Films | PAKT3D & Advanced Manufacturing

    How We Build Deep Tech Company Films | PAKT3D & Advanced Manufacturing Episode Description What actually goes into creating a company film for a deep-tech or advanced manufacturing startup? In the first episode of Built at the Frontier, LiveUP Media co-founders Allan Rowland and Arran break down the thinking behind our 3D company film for PAKT3D — and why the project changed the way we approach technical companies. PAKT3D came to us with decades of motorsport engineering experience and advanced large-format additive manufacturing technology. Rather than making a conventional technical walkthrough, we pushed the film toward something bigger: positioning the company, its engineering heritage, the industries it works across and where the technology could ultimately go. We talk about moving from technical explanation to high-level company positioning, experimenting freely in 3D, using real manufacturing data and G-code, why imperfections make technical visuals feel more credible, and what handcrafted creative work offers in an increasingly AI-generated world. We also get into why one strong company film can work across a website, investor conversations, VC funding, strategic partnerships, LinkedIn, trade shows and major customer meetings. And importantly, why we deliberately didn’t play by the rules on this one.
