Mars: One Day on the Red Planet debuts on National Geographic US on January 5 2020
Lola’s Creative Director Rob Harvey supervised the design of over 100 shots and assets for National Geographic’s Mars: One Day On The Red Planet, resulting in over 30 minutes of VFX in a 90 minute film. As sole vendor, Lola worked with the filmmakers on storyboards and previz, using NASA data and models to build sweeping panoramas of the Red Planet and historical and future spacecraft. Striking a balance between both scientific accuracy and creative vision was immensely challenging, and executed brilliantly by the talent on our studio floor.
