Wave Energy Animation -- 2

I’m preparing a research presentation for an upcoming ocean-energy symposium and I want an animation that clearly showcases the latest technological innovations in our wave-energy system. The piece will be shown to a room full of researchers, so scientific accuracy and clean, data-driven visuals are critical.

Here’s what I need the animation to achieve:
• Walk the viewer through our full-scale device in the open sea, then dive inside to reveal how the mechanical, electrical, and control subsystems interact.
• Spotlight the novel elements—advanced materials, adaptive control algorithms, and modular mooring solutions—explaining why each is a step forward for the field.
• Overlay key performance metrics (power curves, efficiency gains, durability data) in a way that supports, rather than distracts from, the visuals.

Deliverables
1. Initial storyboard that maps scene flow and on-screen annotations for scientific review.
2. Draft animation (watermarked) for technical feedback.
3. Final 1080p (or higher) MP4 plus all source project files.
4. Still frames suitable for inclusion in academic papers and conference posters.

Acceptance criteria
• Visuals must be technically precise; any simplifying assumptions should be flagged for my approval.
• Text and data overlays must use SI units and standard ocean-energy terminology.
• Color palette and typography should align with typical research-journal graphics—clear, uncluttered, no gimmicky effects.
• Final run-time: 90–120 seconds.

Preferred tools include Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, Houdini, or After Effects—use what lets you deliver the most accurate motion and fluid dynamics. If you can add a subtle ambient soundtrack or a brief technical voice-over, let me know; it’s a plus but not mandatory.

I’m ready to move quickly, provide CAD models and data plots, and give prompt feedback at each milestone so we can wrap the project within three weeks. Let me know your approach and show me any similar science-focused animations you’ve created.
