How do you know so much about the hazards of space exploration? I'm looking for an expert of sorts to consult for a short film about Voyager, drop me a line if your interested.


Mostly from reading "hard science" fiction. I kinda dislike the stuff that plays fast and lose with the various accepted physical laws. The cynical part of my brain is wondering if you're teasing, but I'll let the warm fuzzy part respectfully say I ain't anywhere near "expert".

Haha well you're right to listen to the cynical part of your brain. The internet is full of, um... interesting... personalities. Seriously though I am making a short film about the Voyager spacecraft and accuracy is very important to me. I also don't like stuff that plays fast and loose with science, especially when it comes to the lighting in most space scenes...

I'm hoping to make this one of the most visually accurate space films ever made but I'm having trouble finding out some critical information on what stuff would look like out in space, like for example, how dark is it where the Voyager's are now? What would the shadows look like, are the light rays from the sun completely parallel in space? etc...

I love how these spacecraft's are still doing science work and prompting new discoveries. Truly a spectacular feat of engineering!


Either that or it's electronics have been so degraded by ionizing radiation and it's sensors pocked by micro-meteorites that it's just shittin' with us.

jeez I hope not! Although you'd think the scientists collecting the data would know the difference between actual measurements and corrupted data?

I can't be sure but I'd put my money on Cinema4D

Seriously, how does one achieve this?

This is what artists are for. I can't do this shit, so artists need to step up like this guy did. I wouldn't even know where to start and this guy's got it done already. Bravo.
