    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.

    Comments Off on Arctic 3D Our Frozen Planet

    Arctic: Our Frozen Planet 3D is an epic adventure delivered for IMAX/large format that takes its audience across the magical realm of snow and ice at the top of our planet.

    After the success of Moonrakers work on Bafta nominated BBC Frozen Planet 2, we were delighted to have the opportunity to showcase the beauty and detail of this ice desert on the big screen.

    Moonrakers familiar cinematic overviews of Earth from space made with proprietary in house assets have garnered Emmy accreditation and offer film makers a unique storytelling perspective of our planet.

    Working closely with Legend, we worked through a narrative based on the mountains’ association with the five elements – earth, wind, fire, water and ice.

  5. 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.
