In 2005 I worked on a project to update some of the fx sequences in Carl Sagan's seminal series Cosmos. For this sequence I did all the shots on Jupiter. I started with the original high-res and beautiful matte painting by Adolf Schaller and tried to recreate the creatures as closely as possible. It was a very rewarding experience.

  • Anything is possible in this strange universe. Beings with a totally different make up to anything on Earth could live on Jupiter. Imagine a Jovian looking at Earth through an incredibly powerful lens and shaking his (head?) in wonder at how we can exist when poisonous oxygen dominates the atmosphere, and deadly H20 keeps pouring down upon us. We really shouldn't take our planet's make up as the only one viable for life.

  • carl sagan smoked the bud

  • Just drop an atomic bomb on the mars so the aftermath will create an atmosphere. Anyone disagree?

  • very nice work ! thanks for posting

  • I don't think something like a brain could evolve again :/

  • life could be anywhere

  • When Carl sagan died he was reincarnated as a giant baloonhead  and imprisoned on Jupiter

  • ehh i dont think life exists on jupiter since the surface pressure is incredible o.O anyone or anything would be crushed and dead in an instant before landing on the planet

  • @Sereniama. not for a creature who's weight is supported by surrounding atmosphere. it's like a 200 ton whale underwater -- on land it's crushed, but in the water it doesn't matter how heavy it is.

  • I reckon its fluid thought its bulk. Also there is so little other than hydrogen and helium. And the gas is so heavy wind so high they would be torn to shreds
