An innovative design for a kayak powered by a jet-ski engine shot using motion control. The kayak was mounted on a rotary modelmover at about 1m above the floor: by rotating the kayak slowly in front of the camera, the glossy curves of the kayak moulding moved under the lights whilst the camera travelled up and over it. The end result has the look and feel of an expensive car commercial.
