Manpack Animation

Intellian

The challenge

Visualising satellite innovations

Intellian’s Manpack is a portable satellite terminal designed for fast, reliable communication anywhere on Earth. Built for defence and remote operations, it delivers connectivity within minutes - even in harsh conditions. The challenge was to bring these capabilities to life in a short, high-impact animation that showcased its speed, simplicity, and rugged design without revealing sensitive details or affiliations.

The solution

Technology in motion

Cadpeople created a compact, cinematic animation capturing the Manpack’s defining qualities - rapid deployment, resilience, and precision.

A close-up human animation highlights the setup moment, with one hand rendered in realistic texture and articulated movement using Character Creator, adding a tactile sense of authenticity.

Through dynamic camera work, tight close-ups, and subtle overlays, the film shows setup in seconds as the scene shifts from rocky desert to dense forest, ending with the Intellian identity - performance that travels anywhere.

WHAT SETS IT APART

REALISTIC AND RELEVANT

Shot composition and textures mimic real-world conditions, keeping the focus on functionality over fiction.

CLEAR AND CONCISE

Every second delivers purpose - showing how the Manpack works rather than telling.

DESIGNED FOR IMPACT

A self-contained, 45-second showcase made for trade shows, product launches, and presentations.

The perspective

Turning engineering into experience

Turning engineering into experience

The Manpack animation transforms a complex communications product into a clear and engaging visual story, proving that great design can make technology instantly understood.

It’s more than a film.
It’s field performance, visualised.
