ABOUT AARONS CGI
Address: Level 1, 27 Buckhurst Street, South Melbourne, Victoria, 3205
My name is Roger Aaons, and I run AARONS CGI, a Melbourne-based 3D animation studio specialising in engineering and technical animation. With over 20 years of experience in media production and communications, I transform complex ideas into clear, engaging visuals that are easy to understand and made to be remembered.
My work is used across marketing, advertising, education, safety, product demonstrations, and TV commercials.
Big ideas explained simply
If your idea feels too complex to explain, that’s where I come in. Tell me what you’re trying to achieve, and I’ll help shape it into something clear, engaging, and easy for your audience to understand.
You can start by planning your project here, or get in touch for a no-obligation chat.
Working with innovators across industries
My clients include engineers, inventors, researchers, scientists, architects, medical practitioners, and entrepreneurs with big ideas that need the clarity and impact of 3D animation to reach their audience. Because a great idea only works if people truly get it.
From Concept to Completion
I’m not your typical Creative Producer and Director. I work as your creative partner, guiding your project from initial idea through to final delivery.
I manage the entire production process, including script development, storyboarding, 3D modelling, animation and simulation, rendering, editing, and audio.
Before specialising in 3D animation, I worked as a creative copywriter in Hong Kong, developing English-language commercials for multinational agencies and global brands across Asia Pacific, including Intel, Hyatt, Four Seasons, regional airlines, and major financial institutions.
I have also written scripts and provided script guidance for corporate video clients in Australia, bringing a strong storytelling foundation to every project.
Roger's animations were extremely useful to us in communicating innovative ideas within and external to our business. The process of creating the animations also forced us to think through the real value of the innovations which we were chasing and Roger's approach in finding out exactly where the value was and how things worked was professional, inquisitive and so very creative! Roger is a pleasure to work with.
I recommend Roger's work without hesitation.
How so?
1. Amazing Quality: The finished product is always amazing in terms of the rendering and the physics (if it involves movement). In most instances, the animation was better than I imagined (and I have a good imagination!).
2. Fresh Eye Review: Unlike job-shops, Roger doesn't just simply animate your emailed storyboard; he becomes an extended part of your team for a time, making the effort to get down in the weeds in order to understand your concept/vision as well as your message and the intended audience. This review process (go slow to go fast) is of incredible value because it makes you think things through (forces slow thinking), and the innocent questions raised by Roger are the same as your viewer will have. In many instances, the concept has been materially improved as a result! Let's face it, inventors are often blind to the needs and perspectives of their "customers".
3. One Take: This is where the ‘go slow to go fast’ strategy pays off with the final step proceeding quickly and efficiently in a single step, to the agreed schedule. How? Simple, all the issues have been ironed out beforehand (step 2). Seemingly cheaper options usually work out much more expensive and take longer to do, because you do the job more than once (typically 3 iterations).
So...Got a concept? Take my advice, the next stop should be Aarons CGI for an MVP with 3x the value!
