What mindconsole does

MINDCONSOLE GmbH is a privately held visual production studio headquartered in Graz, Austria, founded in 2009 and operating additional regional offices in Berlin (Germany) and Sydney (Australia). The company integrates three core disciplines — 2D and 3D animation, film production, and extended reality (XR) — into a single offering, with the explicit value proposition that expertise in each discipline enhances the others. Service capabilities span imagefilms, product films, TV commercials, social media content, VFX post-production (compositing, motion tracking, onlining), event openers, projection mapping (including a 7-projector 360-degree configuration), virtual production with LED walls, and interactive 3D character work optimized for browser rendering. Technical differentiation rests on specialized pipelines: a motion capture plus handmade animation hybrid workflow, physically accurate water simulation in Cinema 4D, and browser-friendly low-poly 3D character optimization.

MINDCONSOLE generates revenue through professional services sold primarily on a project basis to enterprise clients (Red Bull, Mastercard, Tesla, Volkswagen, Porsche, AVL, Andritz, SPAR, Ringana, Hagleitner, VusionGroup, Eucerin, Biotronik, Schweppes, Pernod Ricard, and others) and through creative agency channel partnerships (Moodley, Zwupp, Dayone, AKQA, WWP, Rebell Creative, Bubbles Film, groox Filmagentur, Antoni Heaven). It also operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, XRCONSOLE, dedicated to Virtual, Augmented, Mixed, and Extended Reality services. The studio operates in a hybrid GTM motion combining direct enterprise field sales with agency-resourced project flow, supported by an industry-recognized portfolio of award-winning work including Red Dot Design Award, Cannes Lions, German Design Award, w3 Awards, Davey Awards, and US International Film Festival recognition. A recent service addition brings generative AI-powered video creation into the Animation and Motion Design portfolio. The studio maintains multilingual (DE/EN) digital presence via its website, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Vimeo channels.
