ABOUT

The brief was to produce a digital campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landings which would broaden the way that their audience could interact with this extraordinary moment in history.

Using the un-edited audio feed between astronauts and mission control as the narrative backbone, Little Dot Studios reconstructed the Apollo 11 mission with a minute-by-minute livestream that played out in real time, 24 hours a day, on Channel 4’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.

The livestream was visualised with archive NASA footage and still images taken by the Apollo 11 crew, as well as specially-created graphics and reconstruction to bring to life the story of the mission from the crew’s perspective. Not only did this format bring to life the magnitude of the mission undertaken by the astronauts but it translated into 124 hours of unskippable broadcast material - perhaps the closest a modern day viewer can get to how it felt to watch the mission on TV in 1969.
