Killers of the Cosmos

VFX , Graphic Design and Animation

Aidan Gillen is Gumshoe, a Private Investigator examining dangerous phenomena on planet Earth. Moreover, he tracks an array of existential threats to humankind across this 6 part series for Discovery.

An aesthetic based on comic book crime noir, our work appeared in sequences throughout every episode, weaving in a dramatised narrative that helped a new generation to engage with real science.

Moonraker created over an hour of animated content across the series.  Our pipeline involved blending a variety of disciplines – including live action rushes, illustration, procedural treatments and CGI.
