Back to WorkBeyond Orbit
End-to-end color pass for an ambitious documentary feature about deep space exploration — grading for IMAX masters.
A documentary the size of space itself.
Atlas Pictures came to us with a single page of script and a question: could a stop-motion short, made over six months, set the visual tone for an entire upcoming streaming series? The piece had to feel like a film — not a stylised teaser, not a calling card. A film.
We agreed on three constraints up front. The story had to land emotionally. The character had to feel hand-made — not motion-graphics-clean. And every shot had to be one we could put in front of a feature audience without flinching.
Matching telescopes, archive, original.
An end-to-end documentary grade for theatrical and HDR — reference plates, intermediate masters, and final delivery.
