US Navy, Forged by the Sea



MPC and Director Rupert Sanders partnered with Y&R to develop dramatic yet extremely realistic Navy recruitment campaign

The US Navy took a unique creative approach to their latest recruitment campaign. These spots feel more like a thrilling movie trailer then your standard recruitment video, yet this is a true depiction of what it takes to join the US Navy. You are no longer seeing people speak about what it means to be a member of the Navy, but now seeing the reality of the job in action.

This thrilling look into what it is like to be a member of the US Navy was brought to MPC by agency Y&R. The films were directed by Rupert Sanders of MJZ with VFX, grade and titles by MPC.
