Air Force “Space Command”

“Space Command” is a national USAF commercial that pushes the idea “that the future is happening today”, meaning, even while this commercial is all sci-fi and shtuff, it implies that high-tech futuristic warfare is actually the norm in modern military. It shows what happens when two pieces of space junk collide, sending debris on a collision course with a vital communications satellite, and the space borne USAF personnel’s quick reaction.

On the third day, I created earth.  Or, actually high resolution textures for the “earth”.  The direction was to not depict any recognizable land masses, so I combined several continents together, and generated separate interrelated maps for the land, water, and clouds.  On the seventh day I rested, and and sanctified it.

The 30-second spot aired in late 2009 on the Adult Swim, BET, Comedy Central, ESPN, ESPNews, FX, FOX Soccer, G4, MTV, NFL, Speed, Spike TV, TBS, USA and History channels.  Another interesting fact of these commercials is that they feature actual Air Force personnel, and not professional actors . . .
