I stayed up all night working on a new video, but it is a culmination of many years of work, so I hope you will like.
Awaken To Astronomy
This is a film of moderate length (19:23 minutes) celebrating astronomy. All of the photos are mine, except the last one, which was captured from the movie Melancholia. In addition, there is a short video of a corona mass ejection. Have patience with it (I know it is a bit long - what Yes song isn't?), and you won't be disappointed, but you may be mesmerized. I've tried to give the stars the feeling of motion, hopefully without being chincy. There are some cool effects that will wow you, especially the final star sequence (with Vega changing colors). Put it on the big screen, and crank it up! Enjoy...
Produced, directed, and edited by me (orogenicman), so I take all the blame.
Music - Awaken, by Yes
This video is dedicated to Angel

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
