This short film is dedicated to all people
who believe in peaceful expansion of our borders.
In the year 1957 the cold war expands to
space. The Soviet Union sends Sputnik as the first man-made object into Earth
orbit.
Three years later Yuri Gagarin becomes the
first man in space. The so-called "Space Race" seems to be decided.
But in 1961, President Kennedy promised to
send American astronauts to the Moon.
The Apollo Project was born. A space ship
had to be built that is strong enough to escape Earth's gravitation, land on
the moon and bring the crew safely back to our planet.
Digital motion designer Christian Stangl
worked with his brother and composer Wolfgang for 18 months on this short film. The foundation were thousands original NASA
photographs, taken by the astronauts during the Apollo missions, which were
released in September 2015. It is an animated collage using different
techniques to bring the stills to life. Amazing to watch!
