The Brief

We were excited to be part of this multi-million rand global radio astronomy project and worked in collaboration with Blue Bottle Productions to create visualisations to help describe this intricate project. We were responsible for the 3d renderings of the satellites, motion graphics and assisting with a range of other post-production. Not only that, but we were also proud to have the work shown on SABC Television News. We helped them visualise their idea using a combination of problem-solving and digital mediums. The video production was done by Blue Bottle Productions, where they used a mix of drone footage, green screening, sound design and multiple revisions.

Our work went national - Sabc News

Our 3d visualisation of the satelites was broadcasted on national television on SABC News. We were honoured to be part of this project.

Behind the scenes

The project will work with industry to develop new technology and innovation, such as telescope hardware and big data analysis tools.

3D Render of the satelites

HIRAX will be able to determine the characteristics of dark energy during a critical period in our universe, between 7 – 11 billion years ago when dark energy became the dominant component in the universe causing it to expand at an accelerated rate.

We worked with Pyro Media on a very long project. They were very accommodating and solution driven. Zane went the extra mile where needed and created some amazing animations. I would definitely refer their animation services.
