I am currently playing through a game called The Planet Crafter where the main objective is to terraform a planet, this should have been the intro. Amazing work.
This is an excellent piece of work by all concerned. Have you perhaps read the very good science fiction short story by Theodore Sturgeon from October 1959 - "The Man Who Lost The Sea" ? It is a challenging read, that rewards the effort. It has a mention in Wikipedia, and is available to read on Strange Horizons. Like you, Sturgeon often explored roads less traveled. In some ways, TMWLTS had a similar theme to this one, with an ending that was downbeat and triumphant at the same time. With the help of some friends in 1969 (at Otago University, New Zealand), and with rather less in the way of resources available, I made a short 16mm B&W film based on Sturgeon's story. So I salute your achievement!
Very well made and emotive animation - but I have to take issue with the depiction of the Martian wind being able to drag along a human body, parachute aided though it is.
What's even worse, is the parachute couldn't have possibly worked in Mars' thin atmosphere, to begin with - so wouldn't even be equipped on such a mission, as it'd be less than useless! 🤦♂️
I admire the animation work, but this is the story you wanted to tell? Sure, it's under 15 min, but "Person crashes, wanders around for a few minutes and dies. Found later." is pretty thin. Okay, so it's the emotional journey, right? "Crushing stupid hopes", right? Meh.
Yes, this is the story I wanted to tell. I fail to see how this is “crushing stupid hopes” when the ending shows that humans do successfully land and establish themselves enough to send people to a previous crash site. There are extreme dangers to whoever goes first, but it’s still worthwhile and meaningful to try.
I have previously observed a conspicuous absence of SpaceX vehicles in near-future science fiction videos to-date. Nice to see one of them here, even if it crash landed. Let’s pray the real thing does rather better.
I know its going to be exceptionally dangerous, but i hope that nobody, absolutely nobody, will ever have to experience something like this excellent animation
How was this made, it's amazing.... Like nothing I have seen. It is more believable than any Hollywood depiction.. I'm Gob Smacked. Great video. Thank you
(earth's surface is mostly water so should a mars habitat ) -give everyone 9m diameter luxury apartments, build river-like lakes for indoor walks, seafood and o2 algae - waterlocks as airlocks make living easy (ice as building material gives vast structures in no time )
