Harrow Bend Productions’ sci-fi short needed a pilot’s cockpit HUD that reads as a real onboard system rather than a floating graphic overlay. We designed the interface as motion graphics first, on its own black background, then tracked and composited it onto the practical cockpit glass with a perspective corner-pin and a subtle glass reflection pass so it sits behind the actor’s reflection rather than in front of it.

The exterior station scenes were shot against a partial practical set roughly six metres wide; the rest of the station is a matte painting extension keyed to the same lighting reference used for the cockpit interior, so the two environments read as one continuous location rather than two separate builds.
