The spot was directed by <a href="http://www.thesweetshop.tv/directors/mrhide">Mr. Hide</a> (who directed the Prius Harmony spots in which the landscapes were created with people) and was mostly shot with live-action, large-scale props, and some green-screen help to create backgrounds.

Both can be deployed independently of each other and are available only when they are required, ensuring the yacht keeps the cleanest possible lines for making that first impression. Strengthening this philosophy are the twin concealed entrances to the yacht, hiding the stairway to the upper aft deck as well as providing access to the garage, bar and lounge areas.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hidden jacuzzi deck</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2QKs-azMtUb7PY813r5qljgo5wIUH1Xw3cOJ17iax5CSjcU99ydk1ejxTx6btSwq8DM8vdaFewWI_LVFrUscMmvDTRujS6KuGH2WX9IM4HvnUpx_gfYbf5M6dYtsvLtPaYgYVOvSWpE/s1600/Picture+3.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558046412287582738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2QKs-azMtUb7PY813r5qljgo5wIUH1Xw3cOJ17iax5CSjcU99ydk1ejxTx6btSwq8DM8vdaFewWI_LVFrUscMmvDTRujS6KuGH2WX9IM4HvnUpx_gfYbf5M6dYtsvLtPaYgYVOvSWpE/s400/Picture+3.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 370px;" /></a><br /><br />Concealed beneath the carbon fibre inlaid fore deck is a sun deck equipped with a large jacuzzi, sporting a built-in bar to ensure that every party is well catered for.

Created in the same design language as it's carrier, the tender ensures you can roll out at your favorite port in ultimate style. With a V8 engine producing 620 horsepower and a top speed of 305 kph, the tender is an accessory that will certainly put a smile on your face.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAC-kiXGWzMx4-TJFw9hbNMS-lQ48T9su-sl0mxSwphi_35gurAokhgLQvUJVzNCxhpFwEUHfEFwW1qwhKzWTsZuySl-z5G6NEHtM_fWvmxYYBzG29VNNxBxIvy1CsxRh1eIEHf8Z4deE/s1600/GrayDesign_SC166_Tender.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558045819368786482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAC-kiXGWzMx4-TJFw9hbNMS-lQ48T9su-sl0mxSwphi_35gurAokhgLQvUJVzNCxhpFwEUHfEFwW1qwhKzWTsZuySl-z5G6NEHtM_fWvmxYYBzG29VNNxBxIvy1CsxRh1eIEHf8Z4deE/s400/GrayDesign_SC166_Tender.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 247px;" /></a><br /><br />Alternatively, you can order your own choice of conveyance to accessorize your superyacht.
