HESTIA Mission: A voyage to the Moon

Share Collapse

This is the Second and probably final animation about Humanity returning to the Moon and doing so with existing Tech.


The First animation can be seen here: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/712922


This project was for the International Space Development Conference and was made with Students from Falmouth University and advisors from the aerospace sector.


Made by animation students from Falmouth University, in collaboration with DSEA (http://dsea.uk) . This animation aims to show you how we can return to the Moon for good.


This animation shows an overview of what a base build inside of Shackleton Crater could look like.


The concepts shown in this animation were meant to be a representation of the following concepts:

Cool

You make some nice stuff and this was another good flick it has some nice style about it and you really bring on some nice content the music was ok but maybe adding in more choices

~X~

This piece was visually appealing and as informative as promised. I agree with another reviewer about the music, which as cliched and cheesy. I'd have preferred something jazzy--cool music to match the cool content. Also, if Falmouth University has a theatre department and acting students, it would have been better to cast one of them, instead of leaving one of the writer/animators to do the narration. I'd love to have narrated this, myself.

Otherwise, good job, and congrats on making the Daily Picks.

Epic-Dave responds:

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm not too sure if Falmouth Uni has a theatre department, I don't work there but I help run these STEAM animations. It would have been great to have included a theatre department, maybe in the future?

A second animation was made for the conference which can be viewed here:

If you'd like to do a remix and include your own narration then please do let me know and I will send you the original files, I am happy for people to use these animations if they let me know beforehand.

Here's another link to some other animation that was made which may interest you

This was actually pretty cool, and informative, though not sure what I think about the patriotic music playing in the background - sometimes it almost seems like the speaker's trying to make himself heard over that background ambience too. :) Feels like it takes away from the bias and makes it almost propaganda-like, but the presentation otherwise: great! Very informative.

-cd-

this was so boring, maybe newgrounds isn't the place for you... x-x

Non-humorous, non-entertainment, informative content is rare but not unheard of on NG. And I think we want them to be like this.
