  1. Fram Museum 4D

    Comments Off on Fram Museum 4D

    The Fram Museum in Oslo launched the new “Roald Amundsen North Pole Flight Simulator” and a permanent exhibition on the 1925 N25-N24 flights to commemorate the centenary of the Amundsen-Ellsworth polar flight expedition. The new attractions delivered by Sarner International opened in 2025 and were attended by His Majesty King Harald V.

    The 4D motion simulator transports visitors to 1925 and Amundsen’s perilous attempt to fly to the North Pole.  The audience ride alongside Amundsen and his friends in the Dornier-Wal sea planes, in an immersive experience of the historical event.

    Moonraker created the visual content for the ride, synchronised with physical effects and sound design as the story takes us at low altitude across polar ice sheets and to land on the ice itself.

    A huge amount of research went into creating the photoreal arctic landscapes for the film.  Similarly, the two Dornier-Wal sea planes were modelled and textured in exacting detail.  The show seamlessly integrates actual historical archive of the events, delivering an authentic and memorable account of this historical adventure.

    Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
    Moonraker worked with production partner NGX and LA based Official to deliver a cultural piece for the Sheikh Zayed grand mosque in Abu Dhabi.
    The 5 minute animation that spans a large part of the gallery is for their new visitor centre and shows the history of the United Arab Emirates and the legacy of Sheikh Zayed who created the UAE, interwoven with history of Islam and the wonder of the universe.

    Each chapter is framed within a ‘celestial landscape’ framed by a point of light motif,
    highlighting the connection between sand and stars.
    The configuration was split into 7 panels and projected onto a feature wall. The piece integrates a rich tapestry of archival footage with subtly animating golden astrolabe rings, stills, quotes and text elements.

  8. Wetter Extreme at Klimahaus

    Comments Off on Wetter Extreme at Klimahaus

    Wetterextreme Bremerhaven provides a fully immersive experience, exploring extreme weather and climate change. The attraction offers a unique blend of education and entertainment, going beyond traditional museum experiences to enhance climate knowledge.

    A multi-sensory journey that combines stunning climatic events on Earth, visualised from the eye of the storm.

    Our proprietary Earth asset, developed over 8 years by our in-house team was a key factor in the award of the contract. Our ability to use real climatic data in the visualisation of our changing planet and make that cinematic was very attractive to the Klimahaus team and further enhanced the authenticity of the project.

    Fire effects, stormy seas, hurricanes and flooding all combine over 4 floors in this 15 minute dynamic film that fills the entire experience, utilising a number of moving show programmed curved screens. A motorised 30-seat platform elevates the audience vertically through the building with spacial audio to further enhance the experience.

    We seamlessly integrated our compelling VFX capabilities creating digital environments and worlds that help depict Earth’s hostility, immersing the audience in scenes as if they were experiencing these real life events from the point of view of the ground and from the vantage point of Space.
