MAYDAY! – AirCrash Investigations – National Geographic Channel

The Canadian Production Company CINEFLIX commissioned FSR to Produce an Episode of the Worldwide Broadcast TV Series, MAYDAY! AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS” for the National Geographic Channel. The Series investigates some of the worst aviation crashes around the World. The Brazil Episode focused on a Varig passengers Flight from São Paulo to Belem, Brazil, that crashed in the Amazon Jungle with over 13 deaths on September 3rd 1989. The survivors, many badly injured were found two days later by the Jungle Rescue and Air Crash investigation Team. FSR produções™ re-constructed the sequences at Tijuca Forest in Rio re-producing the exact moment when Investigators found the aircraft and its survivors in the jungle. Interviews with survivors were also recorded in different locations in Brazil. FSR produções™ provided camera and production crew, Ancine permits and the licenses to film in Protect Native Areas.

We had the pleasure of working with FSR and particularly Fernanda and Marcia in the design and build out of our Rio 2016 Hospitality Suite at the Sheraton in Leblon. From the initial designs to the final product, their attention to detail, creativity and really ‘listening’ to the scope and budget made this project seamless. The feedback from our client was “this is the best space we’ve created in the last 4 Olympics” and all of the credit goes to the FSR delivery team. It would be our privilege to partner again in Rio or elsewhere!!
