Pratt & Whitney - GTF Promo | MAINFRAME

Pratt & Whitney approached us to promote the industry leading architecture of their Geared Turbofan engine. After producing the visual content for their microsite we already had a lot of the components modelled and textured, which we looked to conceptualise into a darker, more abstract film. Using our increasing knowledge of how the engine's individual parts come together, we looked to convey a chronological sequence from tip to tail ending with a resolved GTF engine ready for take off. We used a lot of MASH (an Autodesk Maya plug-in originally developed in-house here at Mainframe North) in this project to handle the large number of moving parts. It's hard to imagine how it would have been possible in Maya without it!

While working at mainframe I had the pleasure to work on this promotional video forPratt & Whitney, advertising their unique GTF style engine. I was responsible for lighting and animation on a couple of shots and for the UI overlays. You can read the description from the mainframe page below.
