Five years on one craft — concept modelling, a brand identity, a hero flight film, and a defence film broken into mission beats.
2019: what is it
Concept modelling rounds with real variables — three, four and five blade props, a pointy pontoon. Before a craft can be filmed it has to be decided.
2019–20: the flight film
Four revision rounds of a hero film cut from named scenes — Takeoff-Landing, Flying, Beach, Port Taxiing In and Out, Rough Seas — alongside a delivered brand identity and the website stills.
2024: rebuilt
An R4 ship with orthographic and perspective spec renders, engine and nose-hatch variants, turntables and shot layouts. Same company, a much more specific vehicle.
The defence film
'Full Video R1' breaks into mission beats — Low Detection, Swarming, Electronic Warfare (missile spoofing, comms jamming, passive listening), Ice Research, Disaster Relief — plus six 300-frame social shots in standard and ice sets.
