Project Objectives

The main goal was to bring safety documentation to life, ensuring that all employees and contractors could clearly see and understand how to prevent accidents before they occur.

Key objectives included:

• Visual Education: Transform written safety policies and fall protection guidelines into accessible and memorable 3D visual content.
• Clarity and Precision: Demonstrate the proper use of fall protection equipment, harnesses, lanyards, and anchor points, through accurate technical animation.
• Realistic Simulation: Use physics-based 3D rendering to safely and effectively recreate real-world risk scenarios.
• Engagement and Retention: Replace static manuals with dynamic visuals that encourage long-term behavioural awareness and safer workplace habits.

Creative Process

Concept Development and Storyboarding

The video concept was built around guiding the viewer through the stages of risk recognition, preparation, and prevention
Narrative structure:

1. Introduction: Establishing the purpose of the video and its focus on fall protection awareness.
2. Understanding Risk: Highlighting that all potential fall risks, even those under 1.8 metres, require proper assessment.
3. Execution and Prevention: Demonstrating correct procedures for using fall restraint and fall arrest systems through detailed 3D modelling.
4. Key Safety Takeaways: Reinforcing that safety is a shared responsibility and that prevention begins with awareness.

Design and Animation

The production integrates realistic environments, accurate motion capture, and precisely modelled safety equipment.
Design highlights included:

• Detailed 3D recreations of harness systems, lifelines, anchor points, and fall arrest devices.
• Real-time physics simulations demonstrating both correct and incorrect working-at-height techniques.
• Close-up sequences of equipment attachment, dual-lanyard systems, and anchor placements.
• On-screen callouts and overlays labelling critical safety steps and inspection points.
• A professional, industrial colour palette featuring greys and reds to reinforce clarity and hazard awareness.

The visual approach balanced instructional precision with realism, ensuring viewers understood not only what to do, but also why it mattered.

Voice-over and Sound Design

An AI-generated narrator guided viewers through each section of the video, maintaining a clear, authoritative, and educational tone. The narration explained every stage of the safety process, from risk assessment to correct equipment use, ensuring comprehension for both technical and general audiences.

The sound design featured ambient industrial effects and subtle background music that enhanced immersion without distraction, reinforcing the message of safety and control.
