Film production for Marti

Together with our good friend and collaborator Christer Fasmer we have worked with film production for entrepeneur Marti for quite some time.

Marti is contracted to create the tunnell for light rail and pedestrians throught mount Løvstakken in Bergen.

Marti is a client that truly believes in visual communication and together we have done films on everything from work culture and what it means to feel safe at work to highly technical tales of modern tunnell excavation.

The mount Løvstakken tunell is part of the Bergen Light rail project stage 4, and will open for travellers in late 2022 / early 2023.

Vestdavit is a Bergen, Norway based producer of davit cranes with clients within commercial fleets and coast guards throghout the world.

Our Virtual Reality solution for Vestdavit is a simulator of their Davit crane TDB-5000.

In the simulator the user is trained in crane operation and the correct procedure for lowering and retrieving a lifeboat / rib.

The goal is that crane operators should be well accustomed to controlling the crane and how the crane operates under different weather scenarios prior to using the real crane at sea.

The solution uses a proprietary network protocol to communicate with a real crane controller to make the training as realistic as possible and to also train muscle memory.

In a portable package the solution offers training in complicated operations, safe ways to experience unwanted scenarios and an immersive and true to life way to experience crane handling.

 

Sterner is an ambitious norwegian company and a supplier of technology for clean water across four primary markets, Drinking water, Aquaculture, Maritime and Wastewater treatment.

In Mount Visual we’ve had the pleasure of working with Sterner throughout 2021, producing a new corporate film in both English and Norwegian versions, worked on implementing the use of VR in design work as well as various photoshoots.

The corporate film production was a creative and fun process with an ambitious client, inviting us to facilities across Norway, amongst others to beatiful Lofoten.

The corporate film premiered on AquaNor 2021 and was very well received both internally and externally.

We are very grateful for our projects together thus far and look forward to continuing our cooperation!

For Emerson we have developed a realtime interactive visualization application for their multiphase flow metering technology.  A multiphase flow meter is a tool widely used in the oil and gas industry to monitor the content and flow inside oil and gas pipes.

Roxar, owned by Emerson, is widely regarded as producing the most reliable and technologically advanced multiphase meters available on the market. Using a wide range of different sensors, the meters outputs data that describes the mix between oil, gas and water, velocities, and distribution up to 10 times per second.

Since no one can actually see inside the pipes, the data must be interpreted by professionals to understand which flow regime is currently running in the pipes. To make this interpretation easier for their end-users, Emerson gave us the challenge to create an application that could give a realistic visualization of the measurements and data output.

The application we developed supports both live data as well as loading historical data or simply fiddling around with input parameters yourself (such as Gas Fraction and Water Liquid Ratio) and visualizing the result in real-time. The application exists as both an installation-free web-app, and a standalone desktop application.

The application is used by Emerson to support education, sales efforts and to add value to the multiphase meter offering to existing clients.

We were delighted when we were approached by Kappa Offshore Solutions, a specialist company outside of Paris with services and solutions within seismic, hydrodynamics and field operations.

They had a clear-cut pitch on a new and exciting concept within marine seismic and wanted us to visualize their thoughts.

A fun project with just the right balance between providing technical information while also being concise and to-the-point.

«I am really impressed by the way Mount Visual captured the whole idea of Squadseis and made it understandable for our target audiences.»

For our client Bergen Light Rail development (Bybanen utbygging) we have made illustrations for each new light rail stop corresponding with the development of Phase 4 which goes from Kaigaten to Fyllingsdalen terminal.

 

The light rail is a topic of much debate in Bergen and our images have ended up in numerous articles in local press, like here in Bergens Tidende (norwegian article).

Apart from sparking unavoidable debate in the comments section of the local newspapers the illustrations are being used in burroughs and neighbourhoods that are affected by the building of Phase 4.

The basis for the illustrations are technical (BIM) 3D-models, photographs from viewpoints or drone as well as design- and material brief.
