A wonder in the depths of space that can be seen with our eyes alone, hiding in the constellation of Orion, looking like a star.

When I was a kid I couldn't believe a star in the constellation I was always looking at, Orion, wasn't actually a star. It led me to want to learn more about the Universe beyond the stars and I hope this film can do a little of that for others too. It took me about 6 months to make this, my 2nd video about the Universe and even longer to make the 1st! If you haven't already, do please take a look at my first video where I shrank the Universe down, then turned it into cereal, so that its titanic size makes more sense, plus who doesn't want to eat the Universe with some milk? Fortunately I'm getting faster at making these and hope to make the next one in 2 months rather than 6, then hopefully I'll be able to make them at a once a month speed after that. For those interested in the technicalities of how I made this, you can find me on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/epic.spaceman/ where I show some of my behind the scenes though most of this is in my Patreon. I've been teaching myself VFX from scratch for a little over a year with Blender, a wonderful, powerful (and free!) programme, so that I could make these films. I also used a motion capture suit from Rokoko to get the micromovements as I presented. I think for my next video I'll move around a little more as I get more comfortable with the suit. I'm a filmmaker and director of photography as my day job and I've wanted to make videos about Space for ages but just didn't have the VFX skills, so my journey with Blender over the last 14 months has been amazing, I'd highly recommend it.
