METRO STAGES LAUNCH OF DAN DARE – PILOT OF THE FUTURE

METRO have recently shared in the experience of making history, when Britain was reintroduced to the famous British Hero, Dan Dare.
Held at the RAF Club, London, Dan Dare Pilot of the Future was launched in the form of a brand new thrilling 26 part computer animated Television series and website: www.dandare.com.
Metro was asked to stage the event, hosted by Terry Wogan, in front of an audience made up of sportsmen, members of the television and music industries and Dan Dare fans.
Dan Dare Executive Producer, Colin Frewin, explained: “One of the best things about this series is that it has been created purely for entertainment, excitement and adventure. We therefore, needed to ensure that these were the emotions experienced by all 180 guests at the launch. Metro did just that and staged the scene dramatically. The effect gave an insight into the high quality of this truly British production that has taken some five years in development and production.”
Metro staged the adventure using eight Panasonic 42 inch plasma screens on five-foot customised plinths to roll out a trailer, followed with an episode from the series. The room was decorated with large high dual graphic boards and washed in red and amber lighting reflecting the brand, with two sub-base units for the overall dynamic effect.
The animated series will air later this year and the production team are currently preparing for the script of the movie – Dan Dare Pilot of the Future.
