In the Cruise sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Rotoscoping delivers measurable results that transform how cruise professionals communicate with their audience.
Cruise line video production must sell a floating city — the challenge of conveying the scale and variety of a 300-meter ship with 15 restaurants, a Broadway theater, a water park, and 2,000 cabins in a 90-second film. The content strategy segments by audience: luxury cruise films (Ponant, Silversea) emphasize intimate exclusivity with 200 guests and port-intensive itineraries, while mass-market lines (MSC, Costa) focus on family entertainment and value for money. Cabin category videos are critical for upselling — showing the difference between an inside cabin and a balcony suite justifies the 2-3x price premium. Port-of-call destination content doubles as trip inspiration and itinerary justification. Production logistics are complex: filming onboard requires coordination with hotel directors, entertainment managers, and safety officers while the ship is in active service. Seasonal repositioning cruise promotions and inaugural voyage films are high-budget tentpole content (20,000-100,000 euros), while ongoing social media content budgets run 5,000-15,000 euros per month.
Tourism is inherently experiential — the challenge is making someone feel the warmth of a destination through a screen. Destinations with professional video content see 67% more bookings than those relying on photos alone. Yet each destination competes with thousands of others for the same traveler's attention.
The tourism industry needs content that works across the entire booking journey: inspirational destination films for awareness, practical experience videos for consideration, and testimonial content for conversion. Seasonality adds urgency — content must be ready before peak booking windows.
A boutique hotel chain produced immersive 3-minute films for each property. Direct bookings increased 54%, reducing OTA commission costs by €320K annually. The videos were shared 45K times on social media.
Tourism video drives direct revenue: hotel videos increase direct bookings by 54%, reducing dependency on OTAs. Destination marketing videos generate 1,200% more shares than text and images combined. Experience preview videos reduce cancellation rates by 18% as travelers arrive with accurate expectations.

Rotoscoping is frame-by-frame masking of subjects when green screen was not available or when you need to isolate elements within existing footage. We trace precise mattes around people, objects, or regions using Silhouette and Mocha Pro, handling motion blur, hair wisps, and semi-transparent areas like glass or fabric. A 5-second shot at 24fps means 120 hand-refined frames — this is labor-intensive work that we execute with sub-pixel accuracy. Turnaround is 2-4 days per shot depending on complexity. Deliverables include the alpha matte sequence (EXR or PNG) and a pre-composed version ready for your compositor.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
