The SHOWTIME® Original Series, The Man Who Fell To Earth tells the story of Faraday, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, a mysterious alien who arrives on Earth with a clear purpose – bring water back to his home planet and save his species. After landing in New Mexico, he connects with brilliant scientist Justin Falls, played by Naomie Harris, and together they embark on a bold mission. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear in order for the unlikely duo to save his world, they must first save human existence on Earth.

We were tasked with creating a 3D billboard to help launch the new series, along with an interactive physical installation for the Brooklyn Museum.

As Technical Lead I supervised the creation of digital representations of the two lead actors based on scans and reference images, and lead the development of the interactive installation.

We were delighted to see museum visitors interacting with the experience in fun and unexpected ways—from a woman who moved galaxies around using tai chi moves, to groups of children who played with the experience elements endlessly.
