The original idea for various zoom-out-in films came from the picture book by Kees Bolle (Dutch) published in USA ca. 1960. What struck me then (I was ca. 20) was the enormous quantity of empty space in both directions. All that is, is more empty than full. All beings are more one than many. I have dreamed many times of being out there; it is very lonely, but you feel you belong to this immensity. Anyone else dreamed this? (Music: not "epic" but effective; more Holst than Ravel.)
Oh yeah, ELP is one of my very favorite bands. This song is Abaddon's Bolero from the Trilogy album. Great stuff. Btw, it seemed to me like there were several places where the music and video went together. Did you notice that too, or am i just halluciating?
Thanks. The video part I just downloaded off Youtube. The music I added myself. I was just playing with it one day and noticed a lot of places where the music seemed to coincide with various parts of the video. Kind of like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz.
Pity about the resolution.

I like the zoom out effect from the Earth out into space. Reminds me of a dream I once had.
