A lifetime dream

This film follows a rocket enthusiast from boyhood through his golden years. We began with Andrea Fremiotti’s portraits of a family friend’s 5-year-old.

From those real photographs, we built a character and created five milestones throughout his life, all centered around rocket science.

While we can only imagine the boy’s true likeness as he ages, we used overall color plus the texture and details of his clothing to evoke familiarity. Watch the finished film below.
