Case Study: Bentley Systems brings critical infrastructure stories to life with Runway ML

Bentley Systems brings floodgate stories to life with Runway in seconds

Bentley Systems, a global infrastructure engineering software company, faced a challenge when creating an immersive presentation for a major summit. Their team, Bentley Labs, needed to show how New York's floodgates operate during a storm but had almost no video footage, relying instead on 3D models, still photos, and scans. They turned to Runway to animate their assets and generate the missing video content.

Using Runway, Bentley Labs animated architectural images and generated high-quality video sequences of the floodgates closing under stormy conditions. This allowed for real-time iteration on client feedback and the creation of a compelling final film. The solution resulted in an overwhelmingly positive response from summit attendees, leading to significant new business connections and partnership opportunities for Bentley.
