I was commissioned to contribute motion graphics to a new planetarium show created by NSF/NOIR Lab/AURA called Messengers of Time and Space.
Messengers of Time and Space is a new 4K planetarium show that was produced locally by NSF NOIRLab, which is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona and funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The production of this film was made possible through a NSF grant called Gemini in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy (GEMMA).
One scene involved animating the already designed logo.
One scene I contributed to involved describing the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes visible light, but also radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Another scene involved introducing viewers to cosmic particles, which are a mix of particles ejected from high energy events like stars, supernova, and black holes.
