| Voyager 1 at Saturn Visualization |
| My 2008 demo reel shows what Voyager 1 could see as it sped
past Saturn in November of 1980.

A note about my (lack of) originality: James Blinn famously created an animation a lot like this one, almost 30 years earlier. I didn't consciously set out to remake Blinn's pioneering visualization. I'd created a number of elements that a Saturn movie would demo well, and I happened to choose Voyager's path as the path of my camera. It wasn't until someone else pointed it out that I realized I'd unwittingly made a tribute to Blinn. There is also software, notably Celestia, that makes this sort of animation very easy. Just load the Voyager 1 script and hit Play. What I did was a lot harder than that. Hopefully it shows. At the very least, unlike one Celestia-created video on YouTube, my camera doesn't end up upside-down. |
