"Six Minutes of Terror"

Six Minutes of Terror describes in detail the extremely complex Mars entry, descent and landing for MER (Mars Exploration Rover). I directed, shot and edited this video as well as created the music. The animation was done by Dan Mass. This video won me the NASA 'Videographer of the Year' award for 2003.
