SIGNATURE LOOK

OSR will make the invisible visible to reveal the planet’s interconnected life-support systems in all their strangeness. We create 4 main ‘worlds’: Earth, Space, Invisible and Micro and show they all interconnect with each other. Our signature look will combine a palette of magical, organic, strange, spectacular and Sci-fi effects which operate across our 4 key worlds. 

Inspired by the natural spectacle of bioluminescence, one of our key OSR looks will feel MAGICAL. We reveal the planet as glowing and alive with light to reveal invisible processes within the natural world. 

Practical effects will create a look that feels alive. Filming real fluids, particles and gases and using these in-camera images layered with CG create organic worlds: eg. nebulas, magnetospheres and the Earth's core. Chris Parks is an expert in this field and will be one of our collaborators.

OSR by definition feels at times STRANGE. Juxtaposing textures of the planet at different scales reveals our planet visually as one giant fractal. This is one of our key signatures to transition between micro and macro worlds and will help communicate our planet interconnectedness.

We’ll create the feeling of being in outer space by using lighting from SCI-FI films, placing pools of light in shots to create cinematic theatrical spaces. Low-angled lighting maximizes surface detail and high-contrast shadows tie the VFX together with NASA archive. 

OSR will play with time to reveal hidden processes and detail that can’t be seen with the naked eye.  

Echoing the Sci-Fi floating camera feel – we’ll use slow floating camera movements so we feel like we are in space. Camera rotation will also tie in with themed live-action visuals - spirals and circular motions, reflecting the orbiting, circular perspective of the astronauts.
