ABOUT THE FILM
“Outside In” is a giant-screen visual symphony that aims to artistically bridge science and spirituality as it journeys from the big bang to the Cassini-Huygens Mission at Saturn.
Composed entirely of still photographs using innovative visual techniques developed by the filmmaker, “Outside In” stretches the boundaries of the motion picture form. The film will feature powerful music by Ferry Corsten, William Orbit, Samuel Barber and melds non-narrative visual poetry & science documentary into a rich experience for audiences.
“Outside In” is a film that’s both personal and universal, experimental and sincere, science and spirit , non-narrative and documentary. The goal is to use large screen imagery, synchronized to powerful but moving music, to create an experience for those who see it, hear it and feel it.
Using tens of thousands of still images manipulated to create full motion, “Outside In” takes the audience from the big bang to our present day. With visual and audio mashups & photo-motion collages, the camera journeys into the zeitgeist of our age of mass media but music carries us to Saturn. There, we soar around, into and through the incredible photographs of Saturn taken by Cassini using “2.75D” photographic flythrough tech.
The film will be presented in Imax quality 4K resolution on massive screens and concert-level surround systems with a synchronized light show to audiences in planetariums, museums, galleries and limited Imax release.
ABOUT ME (stephen v2)
I’m a filmmaker, musician, photographer and ubergeek. I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa and Knoxville, Tennessee. Despite being raised in the Cooneyite religious cult that forbade movies, television and pop music, I still managed to developed passions for still photography, space, music and storytelling.
I’ve made over a dozen short experimental and animation films that have screened at numerous festivals and in cyberspace. I work doing freelance digital video production & motion graphics as well as manipulating still images into full motion, culminating in a short “Crisp Yellow Flowers” made entirely of still images which has lead directly to “Outside In”.
I first read about Saturn and Titan in Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”. In 2004, Cassini arrived at Saturn barely noticed by the world. Both exulted by the stunning images and disappointed by the lack of interest, I committed to finding a way to make a film that showcased the incredible beauty of Saturn, while exploring the reasons why most people know so little about it.
I live in Greensboro, NC with his musician/artist wife Marie and three aging cats.
