Context
After years of research and development, Swissto12 is approaching the deadline for the launch of their innovative new microGEO satellite. This was the perfect opportunity to produce a documentary to showcase their Road to Launch, from the factory to the launch day.
creative process
The research phase on this project was substantial. Before writing a single line of script, we spent time with the Swissto12 team, conducting pre-interviews with key engineers and scientists to understand both the technical reality and the human drive behind the project.
That's where we found the thread that would carry the whole film: the connection between Swissto12's innovation and Arthur C. Clarke's 1945 vision, when he imagined that just three satellites in geostationary orbit could connect the entire planet.
From those conversations, we developed a script that balances technical accuracy with emotional storytelling. A treatment was prepared, refined with the client, and used as the foundation for the production plan.
In post-production, we chose a visual language to reflect the tension between Clarke's science-fiction imagination and the engineers making it happen today with cinematic factory sequences alongside archival and conceptual material. The film is a fusion of science, storytelling, and cinema that places human vision at the heart of technology.
