Souvlaki Space Station
I was collecting images from NASA and other sites and had planned to put them to Souvlaki Space Station by Slowdive (one of my favourite ever tunes!!) and found that somebody had already done exactly that on Youtube to stunning effect! Great minds think alike. Good. Saves me a bit of bother! I'm really just making videos because I want the perfect visualisations with just the right music for aesthetic and inspiration's sake. If a video looks shit I'm not gonna use it. . . better off doing it myself. . . but this one is GOOD. Maybe I'll collect more spacey pictures another time. I love the floating out into infinity effect at the end of the video. Beautiful, peaceful, exciting and scary all at once. A bit of a feeling of getting away from it all into completely unchartered territory which could be full of hope or apprehension. Really pleased I found this as it's what I would have liked to have achieved but way better than anything I could have actually done.
The music is ethereal and multi layered and, for me, captures perfectly the atmosphere of floating out into deep space. I just, at this moment, realised that I am thinking about space and the universe in certain ways because I am reading Moondust by Andrew Smith. I stupidly hadn't thought of that til now.
