What Flying By Saturn Would Look Like

An intrepid cinematographer Stephen Van Vuuren has created a film by stitching together thousands of still shots taken by the space probe Cassini during its fly-by of the planet Saturn.

The video below is just a teaser animating part of Cassini's four year journey around Saturn.  Van Vuuren wants to to screen a larger feature in IMAX theatres.  

However...

The film needs $125,000 to take off the ground (bad pun intended). By releasing this demo, he hopes to raise funds. So far, the project has raised $32,000. If interested, you can make a donation here.
