Not-for-profit animated IMAX film in early production by a single filmmaker. Visit the site to make a tax-deductible contribution to support the film. I hope to present this clip at the international IMAX show (GSCA Expo) next month.
I'm very excited to present the first test from "Outside In" that actually represents real footage in progress from the film. Camera moves are still being tweaked and this is cropped version as IMAX-sized stuff does not play well online. But thanks to the new version of Adobe After Effects, "Outside In" can be made as I have always envisioned.
Much thanks to everyone who has supported and contributed to this. This is the beginning, just a taste of incredible things to come.
This is fly-through of this photograph - photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA11141 - only a little brightness and contrast has been made to balance the moons with saturn's body. Do note that several thousand layers of many Cassini photographs were animated to make the fly-through work without any 3D CGI. The saturation is off due to lack of Flash Player ICM support.
This is still a work-in-progress and it's an art film, not a science film, but as new image data comes down I will tweak this shot for improved accuracy.

Coincidentally, it was played at the funeral of Albert Einstein.
Thanks! Send me a email and we can discuss. I have some footage that bands have used although I can't necessarily do all the footage for various reasons.
I'd love to see some behind the scenes material on this. how it was made etc.
The music is also used (quite well) in the movie Platoon (winner of [I believe] 7 Academy Awards). The movie had quite the cast, and that cast included Charlie Sheen.

And the geek in me was thrilled to see the Deathstar at 1:33...
Amazing video I must add...
Do you follow the actual trajectory of Cassini-Huygens?
The odd perspective shifts are somewhat due this be a crop/pan&scan from 4:3 IMAX image and partially due to limitations of images data using only photographs.
