I like very much the space suits, did you make them for this movie ?
Aaron Ross 3 years ago

No, I rented the suit from Warner Bros costumes for $200 a week. It was from the movie Red Planet.

Hey those are the suits from Red Planet aren't they? Epic! :)
Aaron Ross 3 years ago

Yes indeed, but it was just one suit. We took turns wearing it and cloned ourselves.

Thats awesome. :)

Brilliant, it's being my dream to do something like that, but I only got as far as concept drawings and the script.
you can check some of my stuff here.

I almost didn't make mine, but my professor convinced me to go for it. Your work is pro. If you have the script and the concepts you're most of the way there. Just board it out, get a good crew together and shoot it!

Wow!! this is really well-done. While watching this video for the fourth time, I was curious about the name of this song. Do you know it??
Aaron Ross 3 years ago

It's 'Mercury' and 'Capa Meets the Sun' from the Sunshine soundtrack. You can find it on iTunes:

Oh thank you! :D

I knew it! Sunshine is amazing, and this nails the same kind of feel. Well done.
Dipta Nath Chowdhury 2 years ago

I just saw that movie today and I knew I heard this song somewhere. Eventually, I found out I heard it from this video.

Wow, that movie is really really good. Truly Amazing.

Again, I really think your video is awesome and I really like the excerpt that you made.
Joseph Palmario 3 years ago

That teaser was absolutely amazing! Reminds me of the "Space Odyssey" by Kubrick.

Hi Ari, nice work and green screen lighting. What camera did you use?
Aaron Ross 1 year ago

Thanks Mike, it was an Arriflex BL-3 35mm that the NY Camera Service Center loaned NYU. They were using it for grad projects but my producer was able to pull some strings.
Maks Naporowski 1 year ago

well done Aaron, well done.
I was wondering when someone might explore Rama as a feature film concept. Loved the books.
Nicely done, well edited, great choice of music..
John Murphy did a great job with the Sunshine soundtrack.

I'm just wrapping up my short, here's a quick trailer, if you're curious.

Really well done the space environment, music and aesthetics are very well made. I am currently writing a Shortfilm with spatial scenes (the film I'm bringing out this summer.) Congratulations.

I would, too, to see this (a Shortfilm I did):
