  4. Kingdom

    Comments Off on Kingdom

    Moonraker created the title sequence for “Destination World Cup 2026,” a six-episode deep dive into a career-defining chapter for footballers Weston McKennie, Marc Cucurella, and Harry Wilson.

    Filmed over an unprecedented five years, Kingdom demanded a visual language that could match its “Game of Thrones” style drama and epic scale. Our team was responsible for creating the series titles and map graphics of the Luangwa National Park’s landscape.

    To help the audience understand and navigate the complex, shifting territories of the Nsefu sector, we developed a suite of bespoke map graphics, which acted as storytelling tools designed to illustrate the constant flow of territorial movement as well as illustrating the seasonal changes and their impact on the four families.

    It was a blast collaborating with Wildstar Films on Underdogs. Narrated by Ryan Reynolds this hilariously anarchic series follows the heroic underdogs of the natural world, misfits only Mother Nature could love.

    “My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Over the last hundred years, scientists and explorers have revealed remarkable new species, epic migrations and dazzling, complex ecosystems beyond anything I could have imagined as a young man. In this film, we share some of those wonderful discoveries, uncover why our ocean is in such poor health, and, perhaps most importantly, show how it can be restored to health.  This could be the moment of change. Nearly every country on Earth has just agreed, on paper, to achieve this bare minimum and protect a third of the ocean. Together, we now face the challenge of making it happen.”

     – Sir David Attenborough

    The powerful documentary film from Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios was released as a global cinema event from May 8 (2025), coinciding with David Attenborough’s 99th birthday. The film will be available globally on National Geographic, Disney+ and Hulu from June 8.

  8. Insa’s Story

    Comments Off on Insa’s Story

    As a child, Insa was told a profound and mind-expanding story about the universe by her father. In this short film, she recounts these seminal moments that shaped her dreams and set her on a path toward space exploration, meteorology, and science.
    Now, as an adult facing the realities of the climate crisis, Insa finds herself at a crossroads: what story will she pass on to her own children?

    The film forms part of a permanent exhibition at Klimahaus Bremerhaven and screens before an immersive 4D dynamic ride.
    Guided by our Narrator, Insa Thiele-Eich, we explore how we, as humans, connect with the world around us.

    Insa’s Story is a deeply emotional journey through some of the most powerful and breathtaking weather events of our history. We venture to the very edge of nature’s extremes, reflect on our personal place within this unfolding story, and ask the urgent question—what legacy will we leave for the generations to come?

  10. Our Oceans

    It was a blast collaborating with Wildstar Films on Underdogs. Narrated by Ryan Reynolds this hilariously anarchic series follows the heroic underdogs of the natural world, misfits only Mother Nature could love.

    Simulating a Global Current

    Our main task was to create the visuals for the global ocean current. In developing the stylistic approach we referenced material from NASA and conducted research with oceanographers to gain a deeper understanding of the current and its impact.

    Rollercoaster Ride

    The whole show has a sense of kineticism to it, featuring drone shots and dynamic cinematography. It was important for the global ocean current visualisation sequences to match that same style.

    Title Wave

    Moonraker was also responsible for designing a unique title sequence for each of the five episodes — one that changes how the audience looks at the world and puts each ocean in full view.
