O.F.T (Orbital Flight Test) is a fictional animation depicting a first test flight of the long-awaited SpaceX’s Starship rocket. Starship is a highly ambitious rocket design with many critical systems that have to work together perfectly in order for the aspiring goal of full and rapid reusability to become reality. Will the vehicle successfully make it past the grueling dynamics of MaxQ or will a single issue set off a cascade of failures leading to disappointment?

*Note: Any usage/broadcasting of footage and/or stills from the OFT film must have permission from Ryan Hansen Space unless footage and/or stills are used for the express purposes of reviewing/promoting the OFT film.*

This project has been a massive undertaking with many artists from around the world all having a hand in crafting it. Work on this project lasted nearly 9 months from conceptual design to final cutting and scoring. I would not have been able to finish this without the assistance and support provided by the Artists of Spaceflight group members. I want to thank everyone who had a hand in making this a reality and anyone else who helps support and share this film through social media. Lastly and most importantly, I want to thank everyone at SpaceX working to design and innovate the future of spaceflight. Your passion and dedication for making life multi-planetary will inspire generations to come.
