I've spent the last four years helping produce a IMAX/Giant Screen film featuring 7.5 million images from Cassini, Hubble, and SDSS with no CGI/VFX.

I spent most of that time writing the software that downloaded images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, located the galaxies in them, cut them out, and placed them with the correct location & scale in the animation software. The best part for me has been getting to work on a project I really believed in, even though I had absolutely no experience with films or astronomical imaging. I just jumped into the deep end and had to learn as I went.

Writing code that puts things on a 6 story tall movie screen is such a different experience than pushing code to an app server to serve up banking apps. Hopefully the work I did here will go on to inspire someone else to have the same love for space that I do.

Wow. Just Wow.

I have already emailed the link pleading for a London release.
