14 DAY TRIAL // If you have about 5 minutes to spare – even if you don't, trust me, you want to make time for this – I suggest that you spend them watching Erik Wernquist's epic short film “Wanderers.” Just scroll down to find it, relax and enjoy this journey through our Solar System.
Fair warning: you might want to watch it several times, so, even if I said that you only needed about 5 minutes to be done with it, you might want to clear your schedule for the rest of the day for this one.
Truth be told, the video made it online about a month ago. Still, it's just now that it's finally getting the attention it deserves, and I could not help but share it with you guys, just to keep you in the loop.
The sci-fi short film envisions humanity's expansion into the Solar System. It comprises digital recreations of actual cosmic places and it shows people exploring our neighboring planets.
“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,” Erik Wernquist writes in the video's description on Vimeo.
In case anyone was wondering, the video is narrated by astronomer and author Carl Sagan. If the audio sounds familiar, this is because it is made up of excerpts from Carl Sagan's book “Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space,” which was published in 1994.
