The Earth & Moon System
Animation
This project was created to act as an intro for my showreel. I decided a good metaphor for a showreel and a year of work, was an orrery, which is a mechanical model of the solar system that can accurately predict the location of the planets around the sun. I dived into Xpresso, and managed to build a functioning orrery inside Cinema 4D.
