“Despite humanity’s disappearance from the galaxy, the worlds we have left behind still flourish with life and mystery.”
Encyclopedia Galactica is my capstone film, which prides itself on its commitment to practical visual effects, and its approach to abstract science fiction storytelling. It is the product of a deep passion for practical effects, an appreciation for miniatures and stop-motion techniques, and an undying love of classic sci-fi stories, futurism, and amateur astronomy. This film has been in the works for a long time and we are so excited to release it publicly next year!

Thank you to the faculty who’ve guided this project, and thank you to everyone who’s supported this project along the way; for your interest, patience and excitement! It has meant more to us than you could ever know.
Infrared Ireland 🔴👁️
Infrared radiation exists all around us, however the human eye cannot detect it. Through modification and the use of filters, it is possible for a camera to interpret infrared radiation and translate it into the visible light spectrum. Due to the structure of their cells, plants tend to reflect the most radiation, hence the bright reds and pinks seen here.
