Arup is a global firm of consulting engineers, designers and planners, headquartered in London.

Speakeasy’s ‘Arup Fellows’ films aim to educate and inspire the internal audience by showcasing the achievements of engineers who are masters in their fields.

In previous years, the Fellows were filmed on location, at buildings they had played a part in developing. To push creative boundaries – and to capture work that spans the globe cost-effectively – we introduced 3D modelling, allowing us to film the interviews in a studio.

Using Cinema 4D, we modelled buildings including the China Central Television headquarters in Beijing and a prototype for a Ghanaian kindergarten, designed to enhance learning environments.

The response to the films was overwhelmingly positive, with Arup stakeholders saying they “capture the spirit of Arup culture,” “enhance our reputation,” and “promote our technical experts”.
