Best of Goddard Video 2011: Beautiful Universe

December 14th, 2011

multiple wavelenth sun imageOn Friday this week, NASA/Goddard filmmakers, writers, and animators will screen what they consider their best work of 2011. It’s called the Best of Goddard Film Festival, and it’s held every year about this time for Goddard employees. (For employees, the festival will run from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm in the Goett Auditorium, Building 3.)

Even if you are “outside the Center” and can’t be here with us, you can still watch and enjoy the entries to the festival that are available on YouTube on the NASA Explorer channel. They’ll run in groups this week on the blog.

    Looks like Scott and Chris have been pretty active this year huh? I want to see a Silvia Stoyanova or Jefferson Beck jam in there. Or maybe something from the Fitzgibbons or Weeks collection?

      I think what you are seeing is a self-selection bias. These are the videos the producers submitted themselves.

      But there are some from those other folks coming. I kicked myself for not submitting my Hubble music video in time. Did you see it? I would lie to remake it in HD, actually.
