SHADOW FORCE

AN AERIAL ‘A-TEAM’

SERIES 1: BRIEF

Unique series following the continuing efforts of a highly specialised team as


they embark on 10 contrasting missions, exploring the human landscape,
combatting conservation, humanitarian and environmental issues from the sky…

ShadowView Foundation Core Objectives: Protect and defend nature and


biodiversity, fight environmental crime, improve humanitarian aid, use our
technological advantage to achieve these goals… Steve Roest Co-Founder
Unique Access
We have unprecedented access to this extraordinary group via its newest member;
filmmaker, adventurer and tech expert Justin Hall. The series will follow the team into
Jungles and Deserts, across cityscapes and tribal territories. SHADOW FORCE and their
gadgets are on a mission to make a difference.
Refreshingly they don’t have all the answers, each project presents its own unique set of
challenges that they must first understand and then overcome. Together, they’ll be working
it out on the ground, Justin, Steve and Laurens (Two British Men and a Dutchman)
investigating and bringing to screen the surrounding issues. They’ll test the latest
technologies and look for unique ways to apply them across a diverse array of challenging
landscapes and projects. From defending the last Rhinos and Orang-utans to saving lives in
crisis this inspiring series shares in the drama as Shadow Force apply their skills.
Note: The Core Team expands to suit the challenge, drawing on an international bank of specialist (see details)

Series Format: Series 1: 10*60
MARK: Knowing you and your teams will know the best of all possible ways to approach this aspect I have simply offered a few obvious point below.

Ten Missions. Ten Contrasting Environments. Ten Contrasting real-world arenas


Depending on the mission, the team select, test, and apply their cutting edge technologies: From Jungles to
Deserts, cityscape to tribal arenas, the shadow join forces with local teams to deploy their gadgets.

Simple Formula: At the beginning of each program there is set an objective, a challenge or problem that needs
a solution, select tech to apply, test, invite audience to contribute, adventurous travel into region, learn and
convey ‘on the ground’ reality, cultural immersion/collaboration with local Governments, NGOS & charities,
apply tech, calculate outcome win/lose, Pos/Neg.. Tangible impact as take away.

Q: Where do we go next? It’s the A team of conservation.

Unique and inspiring application of aerial technologies and the teams


extraordinary skill sets.

TRUE 360°: OCULUS RIFT READY PLATFORM
As the journeys unfold, content of many types could be delivered from the field via satellite to all platforms
including 2 and 3 dimensional domains: The 2D platform is already built (see screens) The 3D arena is in an
advance state of development and perfectly positioned for Oculus Rift VR headsets. In explanation: Our 3d
Mission Control is a richly rendered virtual world supplying an immersive ‘see/explore/learn’ environment with
access to an astounding array of content offering the user the ability to navigate a virtual 3D space, as they
share, invite, contribute and collaborate in multiple ways.

INCREDIBLE CONTENT
Each day of the expedition, the team accumulates and captures a variety of dynamic multimedia content: aside of
live streaming high-definition video and stills; Giga Pan hyper-resolution imagery, immersive 360° Orb Panoramas
with sound and clickable hot spots, ‘Geo-Immersive’ Oculus ready video; ‘Eye-in-Sky’ 360° RC Drone & Octo-
copter feeds, dynamic 3D topographic maps place the action in context, these being supported by GIS, ERSI and
KMZ overlays of many types. By utilizing a selection of hi-tech tools – night vision, thermal, point cloud 3D
scanners, Biometrics, digital hi-speed, Arc lapse & Time shift, PVR CAM (multiple body worn), and more– we can
deliver ‘special feature’ content and enrich the story when applicable.
