Space Adventure Explanation
23/05/2010As I stated in my previous post this was inspired by looking at articles in the Guardian relating to the Discovery and Atlantis launches, as well as the Chinese landing on the moon.
The narrative goes that a comet has come into the earth’s orbit and hits a space station, based on the idea of a space hotel for multi millionaires to spend a vacation there. The comet circles round the moon and clips the space station. Two astronauts inside see the comet coming towards them at the last minute and brace themselves as the comets hits and damages the station. While I was making the frames I watched the films “The Abyss” and “Solyaris”, giving me the idea for an astronaut being stranded in space, where the animation ends after the astronaut tries to repair the station and is lost in space.
