Virgin: Flying To Space With Virgin Galactic

Paper Sky Films has produced a series of animated short films with Richard Branson, each telling a specific adventure in his life where, despite the outcome, the willingness to try something new and exciting remains his ultimate core message. Branson released the newest addition to his 'Adventure Series', coinciding with the one year anniversary of Virgin Galactic's voyage: 'Flying to Space'. After twenty years of planning, testing and developments, the mission above New Mexico began shortly after 08:30 EST, 11th of July, 2021. The plan for Branson was to test out the aircraft before allowing customers aboard in the near future, with an hour and a half flight that had carried him and his crew to the very Edge of Space at 100km, where Zero Gravity awaited them. Given the two decade-long history of Virgin Galactic and its mission to make space tourism a reality, the animation was a tricky endeavour for the Paper Sky Films team.
