Sounds and Images of “Planet 9”

After watching Anvil (2017) on the Partfaliaz website today, I started clicking around watching other videos posted. I found a video titled, “Kinsetsu”, by Clemens Wirth, with the description “A Fictive Macro Sci-Fi Journey to Planet Nine”. Not only is the cinematography incredible, but it is all done using objects and phenomena on our planet. This was particularly interesting because without CGI, Wirth was still able to make the images feel other worldly.

The cinematography is awe-inspiring, but the sounds associated are also worth highlighting. One thing that Sci-Fi in literature form can’t fully communicate is sound. With every object in motion in this film there is a sound associated with it. Wirth, in association with his cinematography is adding a new layer of sound to the landscapes of other worlds. The opening image of the movie states, “Kinsetsu, Textures from Planet-9”. The images are certainly texture related but the sound seemingly also has texture.

I would I highly recommend a quick watch!
