Title: More beautiful space visuals from Erik Wernquist ("Wanderers")
Post by: Oshyan on July 28, 2015, 07:21:13 PM
Many of you hopefully remember the amazing "Wanderers (http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,19220.0.html)" short film from late last year, filled to the brim with astoundingly realistic computer generated space scenery. Erik Wernquist was the man who was largely - if not solely - responsible for the outstanding visuals, and now he's put out some more space exploration work, this time as a music video for Jamie xx (of The xx). Have a look at his vision of Mars' future!

Annnnd, he got to work with Nasa for a short focused on the New Horizons probe and its exploratory mission. It takes a minute or so for the visuals to really kick in but when they do... amazing!

P.S. The Carl Sagan narration is back on the Wanderers video too, thanks to permission from Ann Druyan: https://vimeo.com/108650530?from=outro-local

Nice.
I like the Carl Sagan version much more.
Thanks for the links Oshyan.

pretty awesome imagery!
I also liked the version with the voice over much better. That video should have been a super bowl advertisement to support NASA, or some aerospace company! Would have been one of the best TV adds ever.
