Synoptix VFXSomething different. An inspiring and beautiful look at space and our perspective on the earth - seeing things in a different way. We are all together as one on this big blue marble.

On the 40th anniversary of the famous 'Blue Marble' photograph taken of Earth from space, Planetary Collective presents a short film documenting astronauts' life-changing stories of seeing the Earth from the outside -- a perspective-altering experience often described as the Overview Effect. The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts' perspective of the planet and mankind's place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment. 'Overview' is a short film that explores this phenomenon through interviews with five astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect. The film also features insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for society, and our relationship to the environment.

I'm about to start my final High School Exams, so I'm unable to finish this -- for now anyway. I put a ton of time into this, but stopped a few months ago because of other commitments. I'm not really proud to upload another unfinished project, I had many great ideas for this. Nonetheless, enjoy the ride. - Synoptix

This is my title sequence for that film. Rendered entirely in After Effects CS6.CGI VFX 3D Animated Short Film HD Stardust (Re-upload) | by PostpanicSynoptix VFX2013-05-04 | Re-uploaded from The CGBros @ youtube.com/user/TheCGBro Checkout this amazing CGI short film. This is definitely one of my favourite, if not my favourite CGI video to date. Absolutely stunning. Big ups to Postpanic.
"Check this great short Stardust, a story about Voyager 1, the unmanned spacecraft launched in 1977 to explore the outer solar system. The film's story centers on the idea that in the grand scheme of the universe, nothing is ever wasted and it finds comfort in us all essentially being Stardust ourselves. Voyager represents the memories of our loved ones and lives that will never disappear and is directed by Mischa Rozema.
The probe is the furthest man-made object from the sun and witnesses unimaginable beauty and destruction. The film was triggered by the death of Dutch graphic designer Arjan Groot, who died aged 39 on 16th July 2011 from cancer.
The entire team at PostPanic (the Amsterdam-based creative company) pushed themselves in their own creative post techniques to produce a primarily CG short film crafted with love.
From a creative standpoint, Rozema wanted to explore our preconceived perceptions of how the universe appears which are fed to us by existing imagery from sources such NASA or even sci-fi films. By creating a generated universe, Rozema was able to take his own 'camera' to other angles and places within the cosmos.
Objects and experiences we are visually familiar with are looked at from a different point of view. For example, standing on the surface of the sun looking upwards or witnessing the death and birth of a star - not at all scientifically correct but instead a purely artistic interpretation of such events.
Rozema says, 'I wanted to show the universe as a beautiful but also destructive place. It's somewhere we all have to find our place within. As a director, making Stardust was a very personal experience but it's not intended to be a personal film and I would want people to attach their own meanings to the film so that they can also find comfort based on their own histories and lives.'
Rozema turned to his regular audio partner, Guy Amitai, to create the music for the film. 'I approached Guy to make the music because I trust him and knew he would instinctively understand what I wanted to communicate with this film.' Their long-term collaboration over the years helped them explore different musical approaches before finally settling on a musical journey featuring analogue instruments. Amitai explains, 'Once we started working on this project and I told people about Stardust and what Arjan meant to us all, the offers started pouring in. Musician friends and friends-of-friends all wanting to join in and record even the smallest parts. It was an incredibly emotional and personal journey for us all - not something you can professionally detach yourself from.'

Enjoy :)Battlefield 3 Montage | by Synoptix (incomplete & cancelled project)Synoptix VFX2012-12-15 | This was a project which I worked on at the start of this year, and then left it for a few months. Unfortunately the footage took up too much space, and then a loss of all my project files (my documents somehow got deleted) meant I could not finish it. Excuse the watermark at the start. Could be removed if I still had the project file.
