GMDSS

Brief
Approach

The GMDSS system (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) is the current system for the rescue and safety of human life at sea.

The purpose of GMDSS arises from the need that each ship, in the event of an accident, must have the ability to send distress signals to other ships and to coastal coordination centres responsible for search and rescue at sea and to communicate with them.

​The video was conceived with the idea of representing a hypothetical day in the coastal areas.

We focused on the story to tell by highlighting the relevant aspects of the GMDSS; to provide a further narrative connotation we wanted to give a cinematic cut to the scenes.

This was one of the most complex videos to make as it consisted of more than 40 different clips, many of them with simulations of oceans, smoke, cloth and crowds. Last but not least many scenes have required the character animations.

The project is composed by more than 4000 frames and it has required more than 3TB of data of simulations.
