We reworked some shorts snippets of the animation to format suitable for Instagram. Check out Capgemini’s Digital Manuracturing site where you’ll see our video.

- make sure that it works without audio, since most people watch it on their phone without the sound on
- pick a moment that stands out and memorable
- if necessary, use on screen text to give context or to subtitle people speaking
