Animation for Wallenius Wilhelmsen Ocean

We have worked with our friends in Wallenius Wilhelmsen Ocean for a long time, and our latest bigger project together is a 3D-animation that tells the story of their offering to the market within the RoRo- and Breakbulk-segment.

The animation also shows off WWOs new look, with vessels and equipment donning brand new colours.

All the equipment, cargo as well as the RoRo-vessel is 3D-modelled by us prior to starting the animation process. These models are also found on WWOs new website as well as in other marketing material.

Big Blue is a joint venture between salmon farmer Lerøy Vest and Museum Vest in Bergen, Norway.

The background for the project is that Lerøy Vest was granted a viewing concession connected to aqua culture on salmon, trout and rainbow trout. As a viewing concession this one is unique, for the first time also including the production of algae and mussels through the project Ocean Forest.

Big Blue contains development of a fact- and knowledge-based exhibition on aqua culture with a bigger picture perspective, looking a biology, sustainability and technology. The exhibition is both physical and digital and is designed to a be a truly immersive experience for its audience. In Mount Visual, we had the pleasure of working on about 20 animations, or roughly 60 minutes of animated content for the exhibition together with our friends in design agency Haltenbanken.

Big Blue opened its doors, June 15^th 2020.

Science is one of the most recognized scientific journals in the natural sciences. There is intense competition among researchers from all over the world to have their scientific results published. Of more than 30.000 submitted papers each year, only around 2.700 are published in Science. Promotion on the cover page is even more prestigious; Each week the Chief Editor of Science chooses only one scientific result that he would like to promote on the cover page of the printed journal.

We are incredibly happy that our client, Birkeland Centre for Space Science are experiencing a high degree of interest for their research on gamma rays resulting from ligthning flashes and that our visualization of the phenomena can contribute to better science-based communication!

You can read more about the phenomena and the science behind it at Science Magazine.

In recently published research, scientists from the Birkeland Centre of Space Science at the University of Bergen can finally provide answers on how assymetries between northern lights and southern lights are formed, and also how they disappear.

The answers behind these phenomena are both surprising and a ‘big deal’ in terms of how we understand Geospace and the relationship between the Earth and the Sun.

We had a great experience working with the scientists at BCSS, first to truly understand the phenomena and the science and second to use our skills to convey these largely invisible forces visually in a way that would make sense to both fellow scientists and the population at large.

The press release with the publications and the animation have been picked up by more than 30 media outlets, you can visit The University of Bergen, ScienceCodex, American Geophysical Union or Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet to learn more.

With our good friends in Haltenbanken we were given the task of producing a little film to celebrate the change.

The film tells the story of the challenges we face as a society, how the cluster will work to solve these challenges as well as showing examples of existing solutions from the member companies.

Archive footage is mixed with hand drawn animation to give the film a human touch and playful feel. The film premiered at Bergen Design festival 2017.
