Mission Control

This project began as a commission for the new Parliament Museum in Jerusalem. The original brief was to create motion assets and two large-scale films for the museum, designed for projection on a massive 5K screen. Later, I reimagined one of those films as a playful “fake NASA broadcast” — partly as an experiment to showcase the motion design work in a new context, and partly to bring out the humor and character that I felt hiding in the original material.

It was a fascinating challenge to take something so historic and archaic — archival footage, black-and-white photos, very formal narration — and breathe new life into it. For a public museum, the film needed to stay serious and accurate, but I also wanted it to feel slick and up-to-date, something that spoke the visual language of today.

I explored a lot of collage references: cut-outs, layered textures, retro type, and bold compositions. We eventually landed on a style that felt old-school and archival but with modern motion twists layered on top. Throughout the project, people joked that I was “too cool” — so my main task was to find the balance: injecting style and personality without overshadowing the historical story.
