Over 67 volunteers on 5 continents are working on the film.Ĭreated entirely from real photographs using photo animation and multiplane photo animation. This DIY, not-for-profit all-volunteer film is from Greensboro, NC, USA filmmaker Stephen van Vuuren with tons of help from volunteer image processors around the world. Disclosure: Toolfarm is a Platinum Ring Sponsor on the film. Released in May 2018 on IMAX, they are currently working on a Fulldome version for planetariums. It’s gorgeous and clearly a herculean project. If you’re looking for some inspiration, look no further than In Saturn’s Rings by Stephen van Vuuren. Or maybe, I’ll be destined to stay here and create my own science fiction fantasy! Here are some resources if you’re planning to remain earthbound. Perhaps I could be a space tourist now that space tourism is a thing. 2020 brought launches by SpaceX, the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, and amazing photos of faraway planets that seem to come in weekly.
Yes, these are just movies and shows, but in the real world, it seems like every week, there is space news or something to watch in the sky. Below, the trailer for season 5 of The Expanse.Įven chimes in on the season 5 premiere of The Expanse! The zero-gravity shots are impressive enough but the show also includes scintillating Mars scenes, asteroid belts, and depictions of future technology. Since the pandemic started, I haven’t been to a movie theater, so I’ve got my space opera fix on the small screen. I’ve loved movies my whole life and I’m always drawn to movies about space: Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Passengers, Interstellar, Gravity, Moon… there have been so many great films about the danger and excitement of exploring the universe. I’m sure they knew I wouldn’t stay awake past the opening credits! My parents, incidentally, went to see Barbra Streisand and Chris Christopherson in A Star is Born. I remember seeing R2D2 and C-3P0 running from Storm Troopers and getting into the escape pod, although, I couldn’t hear it and I’m sure I had no idea what was going on, the film stuck with me. One of my first memories is in the summer of 1977, in the back seat of my parent’s car, watching Star Wars out the back window.
And you thought you didn’t like opera! Introduction & Inspiration Here are a few that you may find useful for your next Space Opera! Star Wars is considered to be a Space Opera since it is an adventure science fiction story. It’s no secret that I am a space geek and I’m a big fan of hard science fiction, so I’m always attracted to tutorials that show how to create realistic space scenes.
