Synopsis

This film presents a visually expansive depiction of the universe as seen from the perspective of a space traveler, utilizing realistic animation to depict regions beyond the reach of even the most powerful telescopes, journeying past the Moon, the Sun, and the Milky Way into distant galaxies. It served as one of the inspirations for Stanley Kubrick's *2001: A Space Odyssey*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
