SSI × Robert Allan

Narrative Branding Videos

A five-part video series showing how SSI’s software powers real-world marine engineering inside one of the world’s most respected naval architecture firms.

— Project Overview

SSI approached Dream It Creations to create a series of cinematic case study videos showing how Robert Allan integrates SSI software into its engineering and ship design workflow. The videos were built for marketing, recruitment, presentations, and future industry outreach — highlighting the strength of the partnership between both companies.

Filming took place at Robert Allan’s head office, where we captured interviews with their engineering team, detailed visuals of vessel schematics, collaborative work environments, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the design process. The goal was to show how SSI’s digital tools support real-world marine engineering, positioning both companies as leaders in innovation.

We produced four case study videos plus a standalone highlight reel for Dream It Creations’ own social media, built from the cinematic visuals captured over the shoot.

— Project Goals

  • Showcase SSI’s impact in real engineering environments
  • Demonstrate how Robert Allan’s team uses SSI tools in their design workflow
  • Produce polished, professional case studies for SSI’s website, social media, and presentations

Challenges

Filming took place in an active engineering office, so we worked respectfully around staff schedules to keep interruption to a minimum. Managing lighting in glass-heavy office environments took extra attention, but we adjusted our setups to keep the look consistent across every interview and piece of b-roll.

Results

The final video series gives SSI strong, professional content that demonstrates real-world use of their software inside one of the most respected naval architecture firms globally — strengthening how they communicate their value to shipbuilders, software adopters, and industry partners.

The range of deliverables lets SSI use the content across webinars, trade shows, digital ads, their website, and long-term marketing campaigns, positioning them as an innovative leader in marine technology.

— The Approach

We approached the filming with an emphasis on authenticity, professionalism, and visual clarity. We worked closely with SSI to identify key messaging and coordinated with Robert Allan ahead of time for smooth access to interviewees, workspaces, and digital materials.

On set, we used a multi-light setup and cinema-grade cameras to create a polished corporate look, paired with natural office action to show genuine interactions and engineering activity — models, vessel renderings, team collaboration moments, and architectural details to support the interviews.

In post-production, each video was shaped around one clear message: how SSI’s solutions empower real engineers working on complex marine projects. The shorter edits were built for social media, event screens, and campaign use, while the full version gives industry viewers a deeper dive.
