Channel System Installation Guide

Animation Requirements1. Content and Structure
• Introduction (10–15 seconds):
• Display a 3D render of the SFC 25-14 Restraint Channel and VS9 Tie with the Vista Engineering logo.
• Include a brief text overlay: “RCS 25-14 Restraint Channel System: Ties masonry to steel or concrete frames.”
• Installation Steps (1.5–2 minutes):
• Fixing to Steel:
• Show the SFC 25-14 channel positioned vertically against insulation, aligned with the steel frame.
• Illustrate self-drill/self-tap screws fixing through the small 5.5mm holes in the channel, through insulation and CP board, into the steel frame. Highlight the under-head high thread preventing insulation compression. Add a text warning: “Do not use large 9.5mm holes for steel fixing—invalidates performance.”
• Depict a VS9 tie inserted into the channel, rotated 90 degrees to lock, then lowered into the mortar bed joint with a minimum 65mm embedment.
• Fixing to Concrete:
• Show the SFC 25-14 channel offered up vertically to insulation, with hole locations marked on the concrete.
• Illustrate drilling holes through insulation and inserting steel compression sleeves.
• Depict drilling pilot holes into the concrete.
• Show fixing through the large 9.5mm holes in the channel, through insulation and compression sleeves, into pilot holes with a minimum 35mm embedment.
• Demonstrate tightening the fastener to the compression sleeve without deforming insulation.
• Show a VS9 tie inserted, rotated 90 degrees to lock, and lowered into the mortar bed joint (minimum 65mm embedment).
• Final Checks:
• Highlight verifying vertical alignment, secure fixings, proper tie embedment, and 7mm vertical movement capability.
• Closing (10–15 seconds):
• Show the completed installation in a construction context with text overlays: “Corrosion-resistant, 60-year durability, BS EN 845-1 compliant.”
• End with a branded screen: Vista Engineering Ltd contact details (Head Office: Carr Brook Works, Elnor Lane, Whaley Bridge, High Peak SK23 7JN, Web: www.vistaeng.co.uk).
2. Visual Style
• Quality: Photorealistic rendering with detailed textures for stainless steel, masonry, insulation, and concrete; use realistic lighting and smooth transitions.
• Branding: Incorporate Vista’s blue and white color scheme and logo throughout.
• Text Overlays: Use clear, professional fonts (e.g., Trade GOTHIC) for step descriptions (e.g., “Small 5.5mm holes for steel,” “Large 9.5mm holes with sleeves for concrete”).
• Camera Angles: Dynamic close-ups for fixing details (e.g., screw insertion) and wide shots for context (e.g., channel in cavity).
3. Technical Specifications
• Length: 2–3 minutes.
• Resolution: Minimum 1080p HD, preferably 4K.
• Format: MP4 or MOV.
• Frame Rate: 30 fps.
• Audio: Professional voiceover (neutral British accent) narrating steps, with subtle background music. Provide a no-audio version.
• Software: Use tools like Autodesk Maya, Blender, or Cinema 4D with V-Ray or Arnold rendering.
4. Reference Materials
• RCS 25-14 Restraint Channel System datasheet (October 2023).
• Installation instructions provided.
• BS EN 845-1 standards.
• Vista Engineering Ltd branding guidelines.

Deliverables
• Final animation in MP4/MOV (1080p and 4K).
• Source files for future edits.
• Storyboard and script for approval before production.
• One round of revisions post-draft.

Notes
• Emphasize correct fixing: small 5.5mm holes for steel, large 9.5mm holes with compression sleeves for concrete.
• Warn against using large holes for steel fixing to maintain system integrity.
• Ensure the animation reflects the system’s ability to accommodate cavities up to 250mm and a 65mm minimum tie embedment.
