IOD-3 Amber Launch
Hero Film for a Historic Moment in the UK Space Sector
We were contacted by the Satellite Applications Catapult to produce a film marking the historic launch of the first first satellite from UK soil.
The film would feature a series of interviews with key players involved in the launch with footage from Goonhilly Earth Station, the launch platform, and the control room.

We wanted the film to have a science-fiction feel, especially for the interviews.
Our initial thought was to have the interviewees in a black void with small single point lights in the background to simulate stars in space. However we decided to proceed with dynamic and dramatic tube-lights positioned in an array behind the speakers, with each person having their own unique colour.
This provided a distinct look for the interviews, contrasting it to the handheld interview shoot for the other scenes.
