The mission.
ZF Wind Power is a world player in gearboxes for wind turbines. This rapidly evolving sector is crucial for a greener, more sustainable future. But of course like any other machine, wind turbines also need maintenance.
This has been proven problematic, resulting in many wind turbines being offline because of technical or mechanical issues.
With ‘Thrive’ ZF Wind Power launches a top quality service for wind turbine maintenance to reduce downtime, increase production and create a more ecologic future.
The creative proposal.
The many aspects and services which are provided by the Thrive team, meant we needed to be able to show several situations.
This was quickly translated to a series of videos with the ‘Thrivers’ as the main characters. It was also a good opportunity to push our capabilities in 3D animation.
On top of that we would create a little ‘teaser’ at the end of each video to show what the next episode would be about.
This way the animations can be watched almost like a Netflix series.
There are 5 episodes in this series and more might be created as the wind turbine sector also evolves rapidly.
ZF Wind power also created a very nice platform to watch the videos: A 360° cinematic theatre. There is also a lobby where our main characters welcome the visitors and where they can navigate towards more info on the services or to the cinema room where the videos are projected..
We invite you to take a look at https://zfthrive.com/
Maybe it can be some inspiration on how to showcase your videos.
