Earth Asylo and Planetary Asylo [2007] - 10+10 minutes

Made for a short course offered by MRU about the Earth and the Planets [see details], the movies utilize state-of-the-art software and data, and a very short time frame for their making.

Earth Asylo (see on the right) employs topographical data obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, and it also visualizes the Como and Garda Lakes in Northern Italy with visual continuity.

Planetary Asylo (first part and second part) shows instead unusual perspectives of the surface of Mars, Venus and The Moon, obtained from real-world data from NASA sources.
