Between season one and two of Mars on National Geographic, lots had occurred in the world around us that paralleled the narrative in the fictional series. To underline those parallels as well as build excitement leading up to the new season, National Geographic wanted a video that summarized everything in an eye-catching way. The approach we took was building out a timeline montage of relevant news clippings, audio clips, illustrations, 3D models, and the available footage we had at our disposal.
