Space Explorers by
Derek Branscombe
Bringing space travel right down to EarthMission possible
An astronaut on the subway? This is one of the striking images director Derek Branscombe created to promote an immersive VR experience inspired by NASA missions aboard the International Space Station. Here, Derek merges footage from the ISS with a dynamic one-day urban shoot, creating a spot that explores the dreamy impression visitors get after viewing the exhibit.
The exhibit, called Space Explores – the Infinite, is the result of the largest film production ever on the ISS, thanks to the studio Felix & Paul’s collaboration with NASA. Derek was called in to help the team promote the resulting experience.
Space Explorers – The Infinite is an unparalleled VR journey that transports visitors into the depths of space. With stunning visuals and interactive elements, it offers a unique glimpse into life aboard the ISS, allowing audiences to experience the wonders of space exploration firsthand.
