October 2026 Roundup: 3D Company Films for Hard-Tech Founders, in One Place
Once a month we pull together what LiveUP Media has published, in one place, so founders, investors and search engines can find it without hunting across platforms. This is the October 2026 edition: the newest work on the blog, our film channels, and where we post day to day.
We are Allan Rowland and Arran Clark, a small studio in London and San Francisco. We make 3D company films for hard-tech, deep-tech and early-stage founders building the next physical world: new manufacturing methods, materials, machines and systems.
New on the LiveUP Media blog
Startup Video Portfolio: 3D Investor Films, Launch Videos & Hardware Product Animation. Published 14 October. One page that brings together our finished 3D company films and reference boards for founders planning a launch, a fundraise or an emergence from stealth. Start here if you want to see the work.
3D Animation & Video Production for Deep Tech Startups Raising VC Funding. Published 17 August. Why a deep-tech company's website and film need to keep pace with its engineering once investors start looking, and how a launch film can show scale and consequence rather than every mechanical detail.
Beyond the Explainer Video: Flagship Startup Video Production Case Study – PAKT3D. Published 8 May. How we approached the film for PAKT3D, the high-performance polymer manufacturer working with motorsport, and why we positioned it as a credible technology partner for large industrial contracts rather than a clever inventor.
Our San Francisco Bay Area presence
LiveUP Media Launches a San Francisco Bay Area YouTube Channel for Deep Tech Video Production. Published 20 August. Why we opened a dedicated channel for founders in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and the wider Bay Area, and what you will find on it. You can go straight to the LiveUP Media YouTube channel.

The thread running through it all
Across every channel the idea is the same. For a company that is still building, the film is not a product tour. It sets out the company you are becoming, so that partners, investors and future hires can see the ambition before the headcount arrives. Less explanation, more presence.
