US/UK naval collaboration: refuelling at sea

The brief called for candid still photographs of crew performing the mission, time-lapse video documenting the side-by-side exercises both in-port and at-sea, and aerial drone photographs and video of the two ships conducting their respective exercises. We planned for safe drone operations from a moving vessel, and on a tanker, across two locations in two countries.

We captured time-lapse video of the refuelling operations, professional photography documenting the entire collaboration, drone aerials of the ships working side by side, and direct-to-camera interview-style segments with crew members, all across four days in Portland and Malaga.

The result: a polished two-minute highlights edit, an extended cut featuring the interview segments, ready-for-social time-lapse footage, and a full set of professional stills! The client was over the moon with the deliverables. They've since returned to Solent Sky Services for additional video production projects, and told us that our videos have helped define their brand.
