About the
project
Every generation gets the cute robot it deserves, maybe you had Wall-E, or Johnny 5, R2D2 or the Iron Giant.
Whoever you had you know just how indelible an impact they can create. Tecala knew it too so when they came to us and wanted us to bring “Cala” to life we all got very excited.
Here at Explanimate!, we harness the power of animation to create content that opens doors for your brand because we know the right communications can make all the difference for reaching your audience effectively. We use compelling visual narratives to not only capture audience attention, but also broaden your reach.
For Tecala, we did this by crafting a hybrid 2D-3D video that keeps audiences on their toes, wondering what cool thing they would see next and providing a lil something for everyone in the process. This not only kept viewers engaged but increased the video’s share appeal helping it reach a wider audience.
This was a real team effort where we all knuckled down and took part in the video. Scenes were shuffled between designers and animators, people were polishing and prepping all in order to get it done, on time, but wayyyy beyond expectations.
So, whether you’re looking to enter new territories, engage untapped demographics, or revitalise your brand, we’ve got you covered.

Every generation has its iconic robot—Wall-E, R2D2, the Iron Giant. For Tecala, that robot is Cala. They envisioned a charming, animated brand mascot that could engage audiences, build brand recognition, and enhance their digital presence.
Tecala turned to Explanimate! to bring Cala to life through a high-quality animated video that would not only introduce their brand character but also captivate audiences across multiple platforms.
Tecala wanted their video to:
🤖 Introduce Cala as a relatable, memorable brand mascot
🎯 Engage a broad audience while showcasing their innovative services
📈 Encourage shares and boost brand visibility
To achieve this, we knew we needed a fresh, dynamic approach that blended 2D and 3D animation, keeping viewers intrigued and invested from start to finish.
Our team developed a hybrid 2D-3D animation style to create a visually rich, engaging experience. By seamlessly integrating both animation styles, we ensured:
- Striking, high-quality visuals that stood out in a crowded digital space
- An engaging narrative that guided viewers through Tecala’s brand story
- A flexible format suitable for various marketing channels, from social media to presentations
Bringing Cala to life required a perfect blend of technical precision and creative storytelling. We:
🎨 Designed Cala as an expressive, lovable character that audiences could instantly connect with
🚀 Used dynamic motion and engaging transitions to keep viewers hooked
🌟 Optimised colours, lighting, and composition to enhance the cinematic feel
With multiple team members contributing across different disciplines, we worked through:
- Rigorous internal reviews to ensure seamless animation
- Scene refinements to balance pacing, clarity, and visual appeal
- Performance testing across platforms to maximise engagement potential
The final animated brand video delivered above and beyond expectations—not only engaging Tecala’s audience but also expanding their reach through increased shares and visibility.
By leveraging character animation, hybrid 2D-3D techniques, and expert storytelling, we helped Tecala establish Cala as a brand icon, reinforcing their position as an innovative leader in their industry.
Whether you’re looking to engage new audiences, revitalise your brand, or create a character-driven marketing asset, we’ve got you covered. 🚀
