Working with MH Creative on a film for Essar Energy Transition (EET), I produced a series of 3D visualisations illustrating a proposed Methanol-to-Jet (MtJ) Sustainable Aviation Fuel facility at the Stanlow Refinery in Ellesmere Port.
My role involved constructing the large-scale industrial environment from technical plans and reference material, combining bespoke 3D modelling with kit-bashed assets to recreate the complex refinery infrastructure.
Using Blender, I camera-tracked MH Creative's aerial drone footage and composited the animated 3D environments into the live-action sequences. The deliberately stylised visual approach helped communicate the facility's proposed location, scale and connectivity within the wider refinery and surrounding infrastructure.
The completed visualisations formed part of a film designed to help stakeholders understand the proposed development and its potential role in the UK's sustainable aviation fuel infrastructure.
