Vision [Save the James Webb Space Telescope]

READ MORE: http://goo.gl/sJSD2

U.S. Congress is considering the cancellation of Hubble's successor. It's a telescope that would be capable of seeing almost all the way back to the big bang; abandoning it would be a tragic loss to science. This is a very short film asking them to reconsider.

What program did you make this with? it's beautiful! I'm a video major and I'd like to know a little about your process and inspiration. Thank you so very much.

@insanecaine Sorry for the delay. I made it in After Effects mostly, with a tiny bit of Cinema 4D. My inspiration, tonally, were the words of Carl Sagan. Please connect on the blog or Twitter if you'd like to speak more - I'm not much of a YouTube guy.

Cheers!

@garmonbozy Hey do you know if the congress accepted it? Or is the project still on ice?

[garmonbozy]

@PirateTHESteam1 They passed it with full funding! The James Webb will fly! (assuming no more cost overruns)

Thanks to everyone who supported this initiative.
