In Demand will turn its 3D wizardry to the skies with the production of a new special surrounding the final flight of the U.S. space shuttle program, titled NASA Last Launch. The one-hour special is part of the company’s focus on developing compelling original stereoscopic 3D content for cable’s free on-demand systems.
The special delves into the elaborate training, testing and preparation for the planned launch of the Atlantis space shuttle, scheduled for July 8 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. State-of-the-art 3D cameras will then capture both the dramatic launch – from an astounding 500 feet away – and the landing.
The special was commissioned to premiere on Comcast Xfinity’s 3D linear and free on-demand platforms, and will be available for carriage by In Demand’s other affiliates. It will premiere approximately two weeks after the shuttle launch.
NASA Final Launch is produced by Vertical Ascent Productions, Adam Friedman, executive producer. Read the press release in Cable Show.
