SYNOPSIS
Aurora is a fantastic natural light show in the night sky. These are not the usual time-lapse images but high resolution video at 30 fps. The audiences will experience sophisticated and still dynamic features of the real Aurora storm. Even a star in the background was carefully drawn to simulate the actual outer space as it is. Stars that appear beyond Curiosity on Mars were simulated to represent the actual night sky from Mars. The scene with many galaxies was created based on modern scientific observation. The animation was used to portray myths inspired by auroras and the origin of its name. Myths and beliefs of ancient people about auroras come to life in a fantasy style animation.
WORLD’S FIRST 4K REAL-TIME AURORA
Pictures cannot fully capture auroras as they are. An actual Aurora would move faster as it becomes brighter and brighter. For the first time in the world, the entire night sky was captured in super-resolution VR of at least 4K by connecting a number of sensitivity cameras. Astro-photographer Kwon, O chul took thease eye catching footages during the Aurora Substorm 2015 which was a unique experience even for the photographer who spent several years for this phenomena.
