American power giant GE has chosen Orkney as the location for its new online spot, promoting the use of tidal turbines to harness energy.

LS Motion, Location Scotland‘s moving image service, has collaborated with BBDO, Greenpoint Pictures and K&R Media on the ad, which opens with grand, sweeping shots of the coastline before turning to atmospheric, dimly-lit close-up sequences of the Orkney islanders as they describe their vision of the future.

There are more stunning shots to come, first a whirling blue image of tidal turbines and finally another overhead sequence of waves crashing against the cliffs and coastline. LA media handled the drone work. The spot was filmed in early March on Orkney.

The spot has already notched up nearly 500,000 hits on YouTube; you can watch it below.
