Digitally Directed, The Mars Missions

In the first of a two-part series, the film-maker for the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) video, Daniel Maas, talks about how the stunningly realistic mission simulation came to life. The realistic mission video for the Mars Exploration Rovers took 12,000 frames, some of which took 2 hours per frame to render. From research to compositing and rendering, his art took three to four years to complete.
