Sierra Nevada Corporation partnered with Nifty to visualize the Freedom aircraft, a next generation training platform that does not yet exist in physical form. The challenge was to clearly show how it flies, lands, and operates before there was anything real to film.
We produced a series of high fidelity CGI flight sequences grounded in real world aircraft behavior and engineering input. From takeoff and formation flight to approach and landing, each shot was designed to feel believable in scale, motion, and intent. The focus was clarity over spectacle, helping viewers understand what the aircraft is capable of and why it matters.
The work combined CAD driven aircraft assets, physically based animation, and cinematic sky environments to support a larger campaign narrative. All shots were delivered as layered elements, giving the SNC and editorial teams flexibility for color, compositing, and future reuse.
The final animations now live as hero content on SNC’s Freedom program page, supporting both marketing and technical storytelling around the platform.
