''In Saturn's Rings'' is a large format movie about Saturn made exclusively from real photographs taken by spacecraft. Director Stephen van Vuuren used more than a million photographs and numerous film techniques to create the effect of flying through space around Saturn and among its rings. CGI and 3-D modeling were not used in any capacity to create the realistic feel van Vuuren wanted for the viewer's experience. Most of the photos were taken by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, which was launched in 1997 and arrived at Saturn in 2004.〔(NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory — Cassini Solstice Mission Overview )〕 The film was expected to be released on December 31, 2014.〔(''IMDb - In Saturn's Rings )〕 A 45-minute version and 20-minute version will each be released in four formats:〔(''LF Examiner'' — December 2012 )〕 * Native unmodified fulldome with true fulldome camera field-of-view. * Dome-optimized master for digital and 15/70. * Flat-screen, 1.33-ratio, 4K giant screen version digital and 15/70. * Digital cinema 4K/2K in flat aspect ratio. ==Background== Sparked by Cassini's arrival at Saturn in 2004 and the media's lack of coverage, van Vuuren produced two art films about space exploration. Photos from space missions — including images of Saturn taken by Cassini — were included. But van Vuuren was not satisfied with the results so he did not release them. While listening to the ''Adagio for Strings'' by Samuel Barber one day in 2006, van Vuuren conceived the idea of creating moving images of Saturn using a pan and scan 3-D effect he had seen in a 2002 documentary called ''The Kid Stays in the Picture''. The technique involves creating a 3-D perspective using still photographs.〔(Jonathan Fowler, Video Producer — “The Kids Stays in the Picture” Effect Using Photoshop and Motion )〕 (The ''Adagio for Strings'' would later become part of the soundtrack for ''In Saturn's Rings''.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In Saturn's Rings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
