OUR MAKING OF
The film combines a large-scale LED screen shoot, precise VFX work and zero-gravity effects to recreate an immersive Martian environment.
The sets and costumes, inspired by science-fiction cinema and real space exploration, reinforce the film’s cinematic dimension, while a specially re-recorded a cappella version of Space Oddity by David Bowie accompanies the suspension of time.
