The Czech Waterways Directorate was seeking a tool to ease communication with the public when discussing a unique structure on the bank of the Vltava River. The aim was to focus on the technological and architectural uniqueness of the ship lift at the Slapy reservoir and show the minimal impact on the surrounding natural landscape.
An 8-minute presentation of a documentary character was created, which presents the need for navigability on the Vltava River and its benefits. We incorporated a 3D visualization of the planned project into the real environment of the Slapy dam. The entire process of how the ship lift works is described and depicted by animation. In the animation, we also demonstrated the technical solution in the engine room. We did not omit details such as the connections to the existing transport infrastructure.
