TiRA for ASTRA

From London-based This is Real Art comes a project that hits all my soft spots:  space tech, information graphics, and a reserved, modern design aesthetic.

TiRA created a collection of seven documentary films for Astra – one of the world’s largest satellite operator’s, in concert (but not in direct relation) with the development and planned launch of their largest and most advanced satellite, Astra 3B – to be used for education and marketing.  The films describe everything one needs to know about the operation of a satellite: History, Physics, Control, Launch, Why We Need Satellites, Business, and The Future.

Astra is a heavyweight in providing communications to major European markets – from radio and broadcast to broadband and 3D technologies.  Thus, with society’s ever-increasing reliance on these services (i.e. broadband, 3D) and Astra’s continued growth into emerging markets, it’s no surprise to see this type of subject given this much care.

As partner and Creative Director at This is Real Art, Paul Belford has proven to be a force in the advertising world – harkening the likes of Rand, Krone or Glaser – and it shows once again in his directorial role for this project.  Reflecting seemingly innate refined design sensibilities, Paul takes a technically astronomic and thus potentially mind-numbing subject and whittles it down into a form that’s both translucently and attractively explicated – a presentation that would make Edward Tufte proud.

Motionographer was able to catch up with Paul at This Is Real Art for a more detailed look into the process.

One Day On Earth


I’ve been watching this project evolve over the past few months and it’s scope and depth has grown to something worth noticing.

As part of a global filmmaking project, One Day on Earth is asking the creative community, “If you can document something to share with the world, what would you film?” This call-to-action is all part of a shared international video archive that is filming on 10/10/10.

Onedayonearth.org is an online community of filmmakers, students, and inspired individuals all teaming up to film in every country in the world during this 24-hour period. The results of the project will be an accessible archive of shared video that participants can download and use for non-commercial purposes. The organizers, who are affiliated with the non-profit Creative Visions Foundation, will also produce a flagship doc with the footage. Since all the footage is the domain of those who’ve submitted, there will be other short and feature pieces born from the archive as well.

So far, the participants range from Academy Award nominated documentarians to NASA to school children of remote areas of the 3rd world and nonprofits like Shine on Sierra Leone, Rally for Iraq and many, many more.

To participate, upload short pieces of documentation no longer than 10
minutes. More specs to come as we approach 10/10/10.
