The Royal Observatory commissioned us to produce a 3-minute animation about Great Galaxies for their school’s programme.

We were thrilled to be commissioned by The Royal Observatory, part of the prestigious Royal Museums in Greenwich, to produce an animation about galaxies.

The Royal Observatory, a renowned institution dedicated to the study and dissemination of astronomy and space science, commissioned Fieldcraft Studios to produce an animation focusing on, ‘Great Galaxies,’ for their school’s programme.

The animation aimed to inspire secondary-level students and educate them about astronomy and space in a fun and engaging manner. The primary goal was to simplify complex astronomical concepts and spark curiosity among young learners.

Challenges:

The main challenge was to accurately represent the scientific concepts related to galaxies while ensuring that the content remained accessible and engaging for the target audience of secondary-level students. To achieve this collaboration with the Royal Observatory’s Science Learning Team was crucial to ensure scientific accuracy and relevance.

It’s been an absolute blast working with you and your team and we are thrilled with the outcome of the project.
