Description This is my first piece of electronic music. It was created for the university contest.

This audio-visual piece should express that the universe, despite it's lonely appearence, is a place where things are going on all the time.

First I've composed the music in FL Studio, and then created the image. I've made the models and the animation in Cinema 4D, using textures from various sources ([link] , [link] , [link] ).

The creation of music took me few hours, but the image was a little bit harder, especially to animate all the cameras and synchronize the image with music properly. The rendering time was approx. 8 hours (rendered 9000 frames to 1280x720).

I know that the music isn't great but it was my first try at an electronic music creation. When I have some time, I'll try to make something new and, hopefully, better

Very nicely Done, about the only thing that seemed little ew is that on odd occasions it seems like the Planets were sometimes transparent you could see the starts through them at certain times, otherwise Really great work.

Thanks That transparent thing you're mentioning is interesting, I didn't really noticed it. It may occur when looking on the "sun" because it's not a solid model but system of lights and noise. Transparent are also the rings around the red planet, but they are meant to be transparent, or more likely the space between each of them. Otherwise there shouldn't be any transparent planets

I looked at it a few more times & maybe be it might be stars in the foreground in front of the moving planets however it is still a great looking animation, GOOD STUFF, question what programs did you use to create that piece of work, myself I am doing stuff with Adobes After effects at the moment, find it a nice program as you can import 3D objects into the layers quite easily, & it also allows vectors or PSD files to be brought in with all the layer styles you create just wondering , I know there are quite a few programs out there now a days

This is pure 3D graphics. I used software called Cinema 4D Studio where I created 3D models and the whole scene and then animated it. Cinema also offers rendering, that is computing the image (sequence of images in this case). So basically everything you see was created there, no post-production except the music that I composed in FL Studio and then added to the video.

Lovely piece.
I usually don't have much patient to watch films, but I couldn't help watching this one.
It's pretty mesmerizing~ C:
