FROZEN
In an era where change itself is often the subject of the day, NASA presents a spectacular new movie about the changing Earth. Called FROZEN, it not only tells an essential story about the Earth, but also defines the state of the art for a wholly new style of filmmaking.
Pushing the outer edges of satellite data visualization, FROZEN fully embraces a bold and daring new vision of digital filmmaking. Presented exclusively on the exciting Science On a Sphere video platform, FROZEN tells a vital story about global climate change in a way that simply must be appreciated in a theater.
LetÂ’s be clear: FROZEN is not a flat movie projected onto a round screen. FROZEN is a spherical movie, start to finish. Created with astoundingly high resolution 4K source footage, FROZEN not only uses cutting edge data from NASAÂ’s fleet of Earth observing satellites, but also delivers beautiful ultra-wide high definition video footage in fully spherical compositions. WhatÂ’s more, FROZEN often discards more than a century of filmmaking canon and technique for new visual vocabulary. With a head full of high-flying NASA technology, and a heart of old-school moviemaking inventiveness, FROZEN simultaneously appeals to artistic and scientific sensibilities.
The production team essentially wrote the book on how to make a movie like thisÂ…and with FROZEN they continue to develop the craft.
FROZENÂ’s science credentials are equally impressive. The production team worked closely with some of the worldÂ’s best cryospheric scientists, taking data about global ice and turning them into meditations on a changing planet.
