A Single Point in Space - DYNAMO DREAM, Episode 2

[@lunarscapes6016]

This series feels like what Star Wars felt like when it first came out. A huge technical achievement, but more importantly a huge universe where explanations are up to us and everything was designed and used by humans like us.

[@burtan2000]

I had similar thoughts! The word atmospheric came to mind. The tech has come a loooong way in the past 45 yrs, so it makes sense that this is so much more immersive. Also partly bc we've all seen the Orig Trilogy films so many times, and all the special features, we know exactly where the curtain is and what's behind it. The only new SW series/film that has been able to replicate the authenticity of the originals while expanding on their scope using the new tech is Andor.

Well said!

[@horusreloaded6387]

What technical achivement?

[@lunarscapes6016]

@@horusreloaded6387 uh well Star Wars pioneered several things like THX for standardized sound across theaters and ILM did a lot of new things and greatly improved on old techniques and Dynamo Dream is a technical achievement in that one person did so much vfx in a relatively short time that looks really good. I thought that was kind of obvious lol

The spaceship action scene is, by far, the best spaceship startup and run sequence ever made. No marvel movie has came close. The mechanical design and physical interactions are completely perfect!

[@Nivomandasrail]

I agree with you for the most part but maybe compare this to something better than Marvel movies? Like The Expanse or Interstellar? Since when does Marvel set the bar for sci-fi entertainment?

[@saladien9987]

The cgi in marvel movies is quite bad if you look at details (because of time constraints). Better compare it to the expanse

[@zekeg1189]

I love how even all the cool technology makes sense on some level. I've never seen ion engines done like this, but I could watch ten minutes of those little drones at 5:10 do their thing. It makes so much sense, and the sound is so freaking satisfying too. Ugh, dang it Ian Hubert such a masterpiece!

[@СузаннаСергеевна]

It's kind of a real thing. "Pulsed Inductive Thruster". The real version needs a central nozzle on each thruster, to distribute propellant over the coil, but apart from that you absolutely could build little drones with dozens of tiny thrusters in a grid, and maneuver with differential thrust by simply not firing the thrusters on one side. PIT is one of the more practical ways to do plasma propulsion, because it doesn't use an electrode (which means it's not vulnerable to erosion) and if you need more power you just do more pulses per second. Also very flexible when it comes to fuel, since it can run on pretty much any gas. You could take off from earth with tanks full of argon, stop by an asteroid to refill with ice, and briefly drop into Mars' atmosphere on the way back to refill with carbon dioxide. It's not a lot of thrust per pulse though, so the limiting factor is going to be electricity. The batteries that charge the thruster's capacitors would need to be recharged either from solar panels or something like a small nuclear reactor. Both the solar panels and the large radiators the reactor would need would be awfully heavy, which makes the small thrust from the thruster an even bigger issue.

[@reezlaw]

@@СузаннаСергеевна very interesting, thank you!

[@n4thanstewart]

this is unbelievably complex in every sense. in only 15 minutes this feels rich with story, each scene is laden with detail making each rewatch unique, the tense atmosphere with music and visuals. i aspire to reach this level of creativity. thank you for this masterpiece
