A Script To Screen Creative Production Co.
I launched my production company under the name RocketSlide Films doing this "Madmen in Space" - "Moonraker esque" throwback spot for AXE. We used an amazing set that was originally constructed for the film Space Cowboys and was as close in detail to the real shuttle flight deck as we could get. We scouted Space Camp, Houston and Seattle Museum of Flight before settling on this set and shooting out in LA. We also constructed a one off 1/ 48th scale model shuttle for the opening and end graphics page and picked that up back in ATL. I mean we could have done it in CG but what fun would that have been! The liquid in zero G we photographed clear water over black at 2000fps on Weisscam and comped it back in to the frame giving a way more realistic looking space liquid. One day we will all fly around in pimped out shuttles. Can’t wait!
