broadcasting on the deep space network

This is another one of those visual background noise things I like to make.

I used some public domain moving images that I found at Internet Archive, did a bunch of editing and filtering in iMovie, and then replaced the sound with a classic out-of-print ambient track from Earth to Infinity called Memphis to Mars.

I’m surprisingly happy with the way this turned out. When I watched it all the way through, it made me think of syncing Dark Side of the Moon with Wizard of Oz or Echoes with Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite. That wasn’t intentional, but I’m happy it turned out that way.

  1. Wil, you’re amazing, incredible and great ! Bravo vid !!!
    You should come to Memphis with your family and let me take you to Elvis’ house and to this fantastic bar b q shack about a block from Graceland called “Marlowe’s”. It’s fabulous.

    I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend. I’ll be at the University of Memphis tonight hosting the Saturday night radio show. Wish you could join me.

  3. I’m still not happy about Wesley being omitted from Expendables 4, but this will help me get over it. Thanks.

    1. Oh, and as a side remark and deadly serious here… I guaran-fawking-damn-tee I get more entertainment value and pleasure out of this fifteen minute video than all googledy-seven minutes of the upcoming Star Trek: Beyond Thunderdome.

  4. Thanks for the VID Wil, it does match the sound and the Video freakishly accurately.

  5. Wil, Gene Roddenberry flew B-17s, the Memphis Belle, for the 394th Bomb Squadron, 5th Bomb Group, in the Pacific theater during World War II.

  6. I don’t know why, but watching this just vid puts me on edge, almost anxious, for no knowable reason. Very powerful, but very disturbing.

  7. The music on this video reminds me of an awesome space-ambient/new age/electronica/chill/world music podcast I listen to – Hearts of Space. It’s been a California staple for almost 30 years – being originally a public radio program. It’s definitely worth checking out.
