With Artemis II bringing space back into the conversation, it felt like a good time to revisit The Space Race on National Geographic.
We worked with Kennedy/Marshall on the main title and the graphics system for the film.
The story already carries a lot of weight. Our job was to help frame it without getting in the way.
A big part of the challenge was tone. How do you represent the history behind these astronauts without pushing it too far in one direction or making it feel heavy handed.
We focused on building a visual language that connects moments across time. Early American history, the space program, and the people at the center of it.
Nothing too literal or overexplained.
The system carried across the entire film so it stayed consistent no matter where the story went.
Not the space race most people are thinking about right now.
