Rolls-Royce has just released the first in a series of short films dedicated to showing how the British brand has cemented itself as an industry leader.

The first video, aptly dubbed ‘The Spirit of Ecstasy’, is narrated by Academy Award winning actress Kate Winslet and charts the founding years of Rolls-Royce from when Charles Rolls and Henry Royce first joined forces through to the brand’s adoption of the famous Spirit of Ecstasy emblem.

The clip has been created with advanced motion capture and 3D scanning techniques to bring the Spirit of Ectasy to life and to accurately highlight the company’s quest to create the world’s greatest automobiles.

In the coming months, further short films will be released in the lead-up to the launch of the next-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom.
