Basis KG

Basis KG is an independent Austrian studio specializing in 3D animation, visual effects and digital motion design. Based in Vienna and founded in 2007, it develops visual concepts and produces animation and effects for commercial films, advertising campaigns and digital displays. Its work combines animated characters and objects, product imagery and photorealistic enhancements to live-action footage.

The studio works with commercial directors, creative agencies and production companies, contributing to projects across the German-speaking advertising market. Its portfolio spans telecommunications, retail, consumer products, banking, transport and healthcare. Assignments range from character animation and product rendering to screen overlays and technical effects for broadcast campaigns.

Animation and commercial effects

Basis provides concept and storyboard development alongside 3D production, compositing and visual effects. Its animation work emphasizes movement, timing and visual storytelling, while its effects capabilities include CG environments, digital set extensions, explosions, simulations and image clean-up. These services support both fully animated productions and commercials that combine filmed material with computer-generated elements.

Digital Out-of-Home content is another area of work. The studio creates animated advertising tailored to digital displays, citylights and urban screens, extending its commercial production capabilities beyond conventional broadcast spots. Its technical capabilities also encompass art direction and pipeline development.

Medical and scientific visualization

Through Basis Medical, a specialized division within the same legal entity, the studio also produces scientific and healthcare communication. This work includes anatomical and pharmaceutical animation, mechanism-of-action films, surgical visualization, 2D illustration and stereoscopic film production.

The medical division translates molecular processes and clinical procedures into visual narratives for healthcare professionals and patient education. Its output covers educational material as well as marketing and interactive applications, applying the studio's animation expertise to subjects that require clear explanations of complex biological and medical processes.
