Grounded

One astronaut's journey through space and life ends on a hostile exosolar planet. Grounded is a metaphorical account of the experience, inviting unique interpretation and reflection by the viewer. Themes of aging, inheritance, paternal approval, cyclic trajectories, and behaviors passed on through generations are explored against an ethereal backdrop.

It looks beautiful but I don't understand the part about the old man. It is only 7 minutes long.

Watch it at this link:

That is a cool little short. I especially liked the alien sky at about 2:45.

Thank you!

I watched it again and I still don't understand a lot of it. But I think it looks good.

SYNOPSIS

One astronaut’s journey through space and life ends on a hostile exosolar planet. Grounded is a metaphorical account of the experience, inviting unique interpretation and reflection by the viewer.

Themes of aging, inheritance, paternal approval, cyclic trajectories, and behaviors passed on through generations are explored against an ethereal backdrop.

Conceived and created by Kevin Margo, VFX industry veteran and CG supervisor at acclaimed blur studio, in collaboration with Barrett Meeker, this short film represents an investigation into the live action medium as a more intimate and efficient vehicle for realizing visions and ideas of a personal nature . . . an expression with greater immediacy, purity, and volume typically absent in an all CG approach.
