Griffith Observatory PSU Visual Development

Final Concept

A clip of the final shot shown in PSU.

Earlier ideas playing with different camera angles, balancing how much of the environment to show with the rover. We ended up deciding on a more intimate angle of Perseverance and Ingenuity.

Other concepts

Visual development work on Griffith Observatory's contribution to the Getty PST program, Pacific Standard Universe (PSU). I was initially tasked with the visdev of this scene, then ultimately animated and composited the entire shot. Thank you to NASA and JPL for providing the model of Perseverance and Ingenuity.
