Royal Navy: Pirates by Engine

The Royal Navy has launched a recruitment campaign for its amphibious fighting force, the Royal Marines Commandos.

Giving new meaning to the Royal Marines’ long-running tagline ‘It’s a State of Mind’, the campaign illustrates the stealth that commandos must operate to overcome potentially deadly situations.

Created by Engine, 'Pirates' shows a unit of Royal Marines Commandos silently infiltrating a pirate camp.

Demonstrating the skilled ability of the fighting force, the team swiftly capture several of the enemy before the remaining pirates know what has happened.

In the style of a video game, a panoramic sweep shows how the Royal Marines stealthily completed their mission, totally undetected.

The film ends with the line, “You won’t see us coming. You won’t see us leave.”
