Client: Kenyon, a maker of built-in electric grills and cooktops for home, marine, and RV use Project type: Product launch video and multiple rounds of lifestyle product renders Deliverables: A short product demo video plus several sets of 3D still renders across grill and cooktop product lines
The Brief
Kenyon first reached out through Quince Creative’s website, interested in a video to introduce an upcoming built-in electric grill. What started as a single video request grew, over the following year, into an ongoing relationship covering several different product lines and formats: a launch video, e-commerce product renders, kitchen and marine lifestyle scenes, and outdoor lifestyle renders featuring an RV and a sailboat.
Project One: The Launch Video
The first project centered on a short video demonstrating a grill’s ADA-accessible handle. The client supplied CAD drawings, inspiration images and videos, and a reference video showing the visual style they wanted to match. Quince Creative scoped the project at a short runtime once the client clarified they needed something brief and focused rather than a longer commercial.
Production moved through the now-familiar rhythm: early still renders of the grill in its setting, then a grayscale animatic to confirm pacing, then full-color passes. Feedback rounds were detailed and specific: adjusting the metal finish so it read as brushed stainless rather than overly reflective or smudged, repositioning the handle, trimming the opening seconds, and adding on-screen text with a specific accessibility-focused title and copy points. Each round was turned around quickly, and the finished video was delivered and approved within about six weeks of kickoff.
Project Two: E-Commerce Product Renders
Several months later, Kenyon returned with a different kind of request: 3D product renders of their cooktops for e-commerce use, placed into settings resembling a hotel kitchenette. The client provided a design guide and CAD drawings for the products, and Quince Creative built a 3D scene the client could use to generate multiple angles of the product rather than relying on a single static photo background.
Revisions here were about styling accuracy: correcting how the cooktop was installed in the scene, and swapping in more appropriate countertop props (replacing a fruit basket and wine bottle with a champagne bucket and glasses, for instance) to better match the intended use case. The client kept the full set of finished angles rather than narrowing to one.
Project Three: Cooktop Kitchen and Boat Scenes
A new cooktop rendering project followed, this time asking for two very different settings for the same product line: a classic home kitchen and a boat or yacht galley kitchen, since the cooktops are used in both markets. By this point, Quince Creative had also brought in a business manager to help manage day-to-day communication on the account, keeping turnarounds fast as the relationship grew busier.
Feedback moved between the two scenes in parallel: adding lifestyle props to the kitchen scene, then removing them again once the direction shifted, resizing the cooking island in the boat scene, and swapping countertop items for something more fitting to each setting. Both scenes were finalized and approved within about two weeks of the first round of previews.
Project Four: Grill Lifestyle Renders for RV and Sailboat Scenes
The most involved project asked for three grill models shown in two very different outdoor settings: mounted in an RV and installed on a sailboat. This project included the most significant mid-project pivot: after early previews, the client clarified they needed a larger, more premium style of motorhome than the one initially used, which meant sourcing a different licensed 3D model to match. Quince Creative identified suitable replacement options and worked with the client to select one, with the client covering the cost of the new licensed asset.
From there, the project moved through rounds of scene refinement on both the RV and sailboat settings: adjusting props, swapping out a background landscape for something more evocative of the intended setting, selecting a sailboat model from a shortlist, and removing small details (like a stray prop) that didn’t fit the final scene. All three grill models were ultimately rendered across both environments and delivered to the client’s approval.
Result
Across a year and a half and four distinct projects, spanning video, e-commerce renders, and lifestyle scenes, Kenyon consistently returned to Quince Creative for new work. Each project introduced a new creative challenge (a new product category, a new setting, a licensing curveball on the RV model), and each was worked through collaboratively until the client was satisfied, with every round of feedback addressed and every invoice ultimately settled.
Why It Worked
- Willingness to adapt scope project to project. From a short demo video to multi-environment lifestyle renders, Quince Creative treated each new request as its own brief rather than trying to force it into a single template.
- Transparent handling of a licensing curveball. When the client’s needs shifted mid-project and required a different paid 3D asset, the team communicated the situation clearly and worked with the client to find a solution rather than absorbing the cost silently or stalling the project.
- Consistent, detailed revision cycles. Whether adjusting a metal finish, a prop, or a landscape backdrop, feedback was implemented promptly and specifically, round after round.
- Scaling the relationship as it grew. Bringing in dedicated account support as the volume of work increased kept communication fast even as the number of concurrent projects grew.
