Creating a series from the ground up.

Over more than 18 months, together with executive producer Santi Aguado, I worked as development producer in charge of co-creating the show content and style.

I also had the pleasure to be the director of episodes 1 and 2 that aim to unlock the secrets of nuclear fusion and bionic bodies.

Guided by host Nelufar Hedayat, award winning journalist whose work has appeared on the BBC, Channel 4 and Netflix, we travel accross Europe to discover the companies that are at the forefront of rising technological revolutions and meet the most relevant experts in their fields.

When science meets poetry.

To meet the audience at eye-level we teamed up with the animation studio BICOTÉ to translate abstract technical concepts into an entertaining visual universe where science meets poetry and magic.

ANIMATIONS AND MOTION GRAPHICS USED ACROSS THE SERIES

From concept to art.

Each episode contains 3 to 4 minutes of animation that required a colosal amount of work to transpose our initial sketched ideas into the singular and magical world created by the team of animation artists.

ANIMATIONS AND MOTION GRAPHICS USED ACROSS THE SERIES

Beyond the films, a universe.

With graphic designer Marti Mur, we also developped a typographic and graphic universe that served to both create a recognizable identity for the series and have a flexible toolkit to explain complex ideas on-screen.
