Admiral (Michiel de Ruyter, 2015, Netherlands)

The production of Michiel de Ruyter staged large-scale naval battles on the Markermeer and used several real tall ships for the sea sequences. The modern replica frigate Штандарт took part in those filming operations and appears among the authentic sailing vessels used to recreate 17th-century warships. Using working tall ships such as the Shtandart gave the film a tactile, cinematic realism that CGI alone could not supply.

In addition to the Shtandart, the production employed multiple replicas and model-works. Because sea battles combined practical ship footage with visual effects, some of the larger fleet shots are augmented in post-production; nevertheless, the presence of real ships on the Markermeer — including the Shtandart — was central to staging and filming the close-up seafaring action.
