3D Music Video Production Company in Berlin, Germany
Mimic Productions is a Berlin-based 3D music video production company specializing in photo-realistic avatars, facial animation, and motion capture for artists and labels around the world. From Kanye West to J. Balvin, our expertise in 3D avatar creation and digital performance design transforms music into cinematic, immersive visual art.
Mimic Music Videos: 3D Music Video Studio
World-leading 3D assets are typically developed inside the closed doors of big-budget film studios. At Mimic Productions, we are passionate about pioneering 3D music video production beyond the boundaries of blockbuster cinema — bringing these specialty services to all creatives, and in particular to the global music industry.
We have had the honour of working with the legendary rapper Kanye West, producing the facial animation and rigging for West’s interactive 3D music video "BLKK SKKKN HEAD". We were also responsible for the entire 3D production of a music video series for Robin Schulz, delivering visually stunning, stylized, and emotionally charged animations. Furthermore, our team has built 3D avatars of international music stars such as J. Balvin, The 1975, Kanye West, Griff, Kojey Radical, Arca, and more.
Through every project, Mimic continues to push creative and technical boundaries — establishing itself as a Berlin-based 3D music video production company that bridges the worlds of visual storytelling, technology, and musical expression.
3D Avatar Creation for Music Artists
Creating a music video in 3D offers limitless creative opportunities and the ability to achieve surreal, immersive results that traditional filming cannot match. However, featuring the talent behind the music remains essential, as fan engagement often depends on the emotional connection to the artist. Having the capacity to include a 3D avatar in the likeness of the musician is key — and this is where Mimic Productions excels.
We are highly experienced in building 3D avatars based on either scan data or reference imagery, allowing us to produce highly believable and detailed digital models of well-known musicians who can be recognized and featured in a 3D music production. Our artists combine cutting-edge technology with artistic precision to deliver avatars that capture the essence of real performers.
We have already had the honour of creating lifelike avatars for world-renowned musicians such as J. Balvin, Arca, Robin Schulz, The 1975, Griff, and Kojey Radical. Each project reflects our commitment to delivering top-tier 3D music video production that preserves the artist’s identity while expanding creative storytelling possibilities.
Motion Capture & Facial Animation
A critical step in any 3D music video is motion capture and animation — the processes that bring digital characters to life. The movement of avatars is particularly important when lip-syncing or dancing plays a central role in the visual narrative.
At Mimic Productions, we specialize in body and facial motion capture, recorded either in-house at our Berlin studio or offsite at a location of your choice. Once motion data is captured, our expert team performs animation clean-up to ensure your musical talent performs naturally and fluidly in the 3D space. Our workflow ensures that every frame maintains authenticity, rhythm, and emotional precision.
We have had the pleasure of providing motion capture and animation for many high-profile musicians including Kanye West (BLKK SKKKN HEAD), The 1975 (The Birthday Party), and Robin Schulz (Rather Be Alone). These projects highlight how our technical expertise and creative direction make Mimic a trusted 3D music video production company in Germany for artists who seek visually groundbreaking digital performances.
Real-Time Production & Rendering
Building your 3D music production in a real-time engine such as Unreal Engine offers creative freedom, instant feedback, and shorter production times without compromising quality. It also allows artists and labels to use their 3D avatars in additional applications, such as virtual concerts, VR experiences, and live holographic performances.
As veterans in the gaming and VFX industries, our team specializes in producing digital avatars optimized for real-time use. In early 2020, we had the opportunity to perform live at the Womb Club in Tokyo with DJ Yellock, who performed alongside his digital avatar in an extraordinary live 3D experience. This innovative show demonstrated the power of real-time 3D avatars in expanding the reach and creativity of modern music performances.
In addition, we offer comprehensive services that complement real-time and rendering integration, including camera animation, lighting, shading, and rendering, ensuring your 3D music production achieves cinematic polish and visual impact.
