Solar System
Professor Brian Cox reveals the Solar System in more detail than ever before.
We created more than 400 VFX shots for this five-part BBC series, placing viewers at the heart of the Solar System and its extraordinary natural phenomena.
Working with long time collaborator Professor Brian Cox, and the latest cosmological data, we built detailed planets, asteroid impacts, atmospheric systems and large-scale cosmic events, enabling audiences to experience everything from dust storms on Mars to the methane seas and lakes of Titan.
The result is a scientifically grounded visual journey that demonstrates the power of VFX to take viewers into unchartered territories.
