A second sample edit from our trip to the 2007 Spaceward Games. This piece first uses (with permission) a popular computer animation to show the "grand" vision of what the Space Elevator might one day become. It then takes a look at the current realities by showing footage of one of the many participating teams as they attempt to compete in the Spaceward Games. This clip is just a snippet of the many complexities involved in the competition and serves as an introduction to both the visionary future and hard realities of this fast-paced and sometimes hazardous challenge.

Space Elevator Documentary - Character Introduction

Format:
DV (24p)
Runtime:
6 min 21 sec

Twenty-five teams from around the world, ten days of competition, and a single challenge: to build and test the technologies that might one day power a Space Elevator. Using our footage from the 2007 Spaceward Games as the backbone of this project, we are in-production of an in-depth feature-length documentary examining the people behind this fascinating and non-traditional project - one that challenges you to think against the norm. This particular clip introduces some of the participants involved in the Spaceward Games and encompasses just a handful of people we have interviewed. Less a cohesive narrative and more a slice of the various personalities we will follow throughout our documentary, this piece is the first step in telling this incredible story.
