Earth

These images actually are grabs from an animation that were done for a client. A camera flight in space showing our wonderful Earth had to be created. Starting with a view of the deep black space with some shining stars, panning towards the Earth, while a satellite crosses the cameras way and finally ending with a full shot of our blue planet. This describes the content of the little animation.

Because of legal issues i can't publish the animation. Especially because the sound is done by some one else and some clients don't want to find their stuff somewhere in the web.

The most tricky part was to fake a camera movement, depicting a pan in an infinite space, where you don't have reference objects focus on or to describe depth. The passes i did for the Earth were quite forward and most of the look was created in post.
