Roke Predin’s Crude Homage to NASA Roke Predin’s Crude Homage to NASA

Trunk Animation’s director Rok Predin has created a brilliant new film featuring NASA’s Mars explorer Curiosity.

The film called Curiosity Killed The Cat only lasts 30secs but is full of emotion. It highlights the dangers of remotely controlled vehicles interacting with Mars’s locals. Rok notes the film “As well, as the obvious wordplay, is a homage to NASA’s explorations and plays with the idea of “first contact” through the lens of a comical diplomatic faux pas.”

The short is accompanied by a haunting soundtrack written by Ivan Arnold and was created using Cinema 4d and After Effects.
