Deep Sky
Deep Sky is Big Film Design’s latest collaboration with director Nathaniel Kahn. It was our third project together dealing with the James Webb Space Telescope (Telescope, The Hunt for Planet B). Working in the Imax nearly-square screen format was a new challenge. With the main title, we tried to see how far we could push the limits of what the audience could read on a giant domed screen. With the end credits, we tried to present a lot of information and still show the magnificent images from JWST in a way that highlighted the satellite’s unique silhouette.
BFD’s creative director Randy Balsmeyer worked with Kahn and composer Paul Leonard-Morgan to create a unique end credit sequence that was driven by the music.
Deep Sky opens in Imax theatre worldwide on October 20.
