Watching Erik Wernquist’s short & gorgeous space film Wanderers, I’m having so many happy flashbacks to the concept-art books I used to beg my parents to buy at school book fairs.
Erik writes,
The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available. Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea of the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds – and above all, how it might appear to us if we were there.

If you enjoy that, you’ll like the feature film “BBC Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets”. This tells a very plausible story of humans visiting the solar system. (Part1, Part2).
This is fantastic, beautiful, and stimulates a vision that is so long needed to be articulated. Carl Sagan still has that voice that makes me stop breathing.. Thanks for posting this one John. This is the best this year and puts me where I need to be. I know my next project ……. I think.
