   Moonraker worked with Emmy and Bafta award winning production company Talesmith to produce thirty minutes worth of photoreal CGI for this ambitious two-hour feature documentary.

   Life of Earth is a spectacular film that delves into the planet’s extraordinary 4.5 billion year history, as never seen before, from the unique vantage point of space.

   Shots produced ranged from thermal imaging of the first humans crossing the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia, to views from the International Space Station, which have been transformed to show Earth as it would have been seen over a span of billions of years.

   History 101 dives head first into a disparate range of subject matter from Robots and AIDS to Feminism and Nuclear Power delivering bite size lessons on game changing developments in our world.

   We created a bold, contemporary graphic universe for the series that visualises crazy statistical data, binding the weight of the archival narrative spine with vivid, dynamically fluid punctuations.
