About the
project
Polymathian takes the guesswork out of how you run and understand your business. No matter the industry, no matter the hurdle – Polymathian is here to help you. And they knew exactly who to come to to get that message across.
Maths is gross. We’ve made the executive decision. It is now official. Maths is gross.
So if someone offered to do our maths homework for us, we would be very very happy. That’s why we excitedly accepted when Polymathian asked us to assist them in developing a video which would communicate the benefits of using their industrial mathematics technologies.
To do this effectively, we would need to show the vitality of what Polymathian offered to audiences and potential clients. This meant first demonstrating the practical applications of these technologies to audiences.
Naturally, we started with the big picture.
A big picture of the earth to be more specific. We used this to illustrate how mathematics based technologies were vital to powering countries, export and import businesses.
But import and export businesses aren’t exactly a relatable industry for many people. So, we started to zoom in. We showed the planes, trains, ships and trucks which would be more understandable for the majority of audiences.
Displaying this range of businesses ensured there would be something everyone could understand. This was important as the voice over continued to explain the data driven decision making processes that made all of these businesses possible.
But this video needed to do more than just show how mathematics based technologies worked to power trucks and trains. We needed to show how Polymathian could improve these processes for businesses.
So, we brought audiences directly into the Polymathian tech world. With everything bathed in the blue sheen of fresh technology, audiences watched as the Polymathian interface influenced the inner workings of the plane, truck, and ship previously seen in the real world.
Not only did this cement understandings of the applications of Polymathian’s technology, but the complimentary voice-over also explained the optimisation Polymathian brought to these businesses.
Whilst we still think maths is gross, making this video was epic. Polymathian sure loved it.
If only Polymathian could have done our homework for us all those years ago.

Polymathian takes the guesswork out of how businesses run and understand their operations. No matter the industry, no matter the hurdle - Polymathian is here to help. And they knew exactly who to come to when they needed to get that message across.
At Explanimate!, we’ve made an executive decision: maths is gross. It’s official. So, if someone offers to do our maths homework for us, we’re very, very happy. That’s why we excitedly accepted when Polymathian approached us to develop a video that would communicate the benefits of their industrial mathematics technologies in a clear, engaging way.
To effectively tell Polymathian’s story, we needed to highlight the vitality of what they offer to audiences and potential clients. The first step? Demonstrating the practical applications of their technologies in an accessible way.
We started with the big picture... literally. A sweeping view of Earth set the stage for the video, illustrating how mathematics-based technologies play a crucial role in powering entire countries, as well as the global import and export industries.

Import and export businesses aren’t exactly relatable to most people. To bridge that gap, we began zooming in. We showcased planes, trains, ships, and trucks - familiar sights that helped ground the concept for everyday audiences.
By displaying this range of industries, we ensured there was something for everyone to understand. As the visuals brought these processes to life, the voiceover explained the data-driven decision making behind them, reinforcing how these businesses rely on industrial mathematics to function.

But this video needed to do more than just show how mathematics powered technologies work. We needed to demonstrate how Polymathian could optimise these processes for businesses.
To achieve this, we transported audiences directly into the Polymathian tech world. With everything bathed in the blue sheen of fresh technology, viewers watched as the Polymathian interface influenced the inner workings of planes, trucks, and ships previously seen in the real world. This seamless transition solidified the connection between Polymathian’s technology and its real-world applications.

Throughout development, we worked closely with the Polymathian team to ensure the animation remained accurate and compelling. Every visual and narrative decision was made with a balance of technical precision and engaging storytelling in mind.
The voiceover played a key role in reinforcing Polymathian’s impact, explaining how their solutions optimised operations while the visuals reinforced the benefits in action.
The final product? A dynamic, engaging explainer video that Polymathian loved. The video effectively broke down complex industrial mathematics into something digestible, visually compelling, and, dare we say, fun.
While we still think maths is a little gross, making this video was epic. If only Polymathian had been around to help with our homework all those years ago.
