LIFE BEYOND - Chapter I: The Dawn (Patreon First Look)
Added 2019-11-19 17:37:19 +0000 UTCFirst look exclusively for patrons!
The biggest question of our time. Are we alone? Chapter 1 of this experience takes you on a journey to alien worlds and distant places in time and space, in search of where alien life might be hiding, and to find our own place within the history of life. After generations of wondering, the truth is finally within our reach. New research and technologies have brought us closer than ever to an answer - only a few decades in the eyes of some NASA scientists.
The search has led to new discoveries that will blow your mind wide open and give a profound new perspective on human life. The deeper we look, the deeper we see into nature's imagination, and the more we learn about ourselves. I hope stewing on these thoughts tickles your brain as deeply as it does mine.
I wanted to follow up Timelapse of the Future with a more optimistic perspective of human life and our place in the history of the universe. We really do live in a privileged moment and we have a remarkable opportunity to shape the future. Finding alien life will contextualize our own existence, and open our eyes to what else nature has dreamt up beyond our ourselves, potentially bestowing huge breakthroughs in science, technology, and philosophy.
I want to say a massive THANK YOU to all my patrons for supporting this work - you have made it all possible and I couldn't do it without you. This feels like a big new step in my creative journey and I'm thrilled to have you along.
Huge thanks are also owed to Protocol Labs for their support of this creation: https://protocol.ai/
Follow along for future chapters of Life Beyond, where we will explore making contact with intelligent life, the potential physics of alien biology, how to survive the end of the universe, and more. I will also be rolling out some BTS content, bonus music, and art in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

2019-11-25 21:19:07 +0000 UTCA gorgeousely wonderful Project! I'm captivated and in awe. Applause to your cunning and to the endeavour to promote the sciences! I will rewatch this so many times and can't wait for the next science gig! One little Question: Will there be German subtitles available? It would help me sharing this with my friends!

2019-11-25 11:28:52 +0000 UTCI am so touched with the frame when you showed time scale with one size was the Big Bang and the opposite one was the last star died. There was a mark to show when life on Earth appeared. I wish to have that frame as a wallpaper for my computer and laptop.

2019-11-21 21:49:48 +0000 UTCThanks a lot, I got it. :)
2019-11-21 21:02:39 +0000 UTCThank you Heribert! I sent out codes to download the soundtrack just now, let me know if you didn't get one.

2019-11-21 19:06:20 +0000 UTCAfter 2 days, I have a further impression: The visuals are "just" 10/10. Nothing more about to say about that. But besides this: You're a great story teller. Even without pictures you can tell and summarize scientific knowledge or inspiring storylines like a master. That's a skill which is, in my opinion, even more important than (just the absolutely brilliant) pictures. You create pictures in the mind of your audience. Great! One little question: Is it possible to download the soundtrack somewhere as a patreon? Otherwise I would buy it at bandcamp. =) Thanks for your help, John.
2019-11-21 14:51:34 +0000 UTCThank you for the perspective. I have been a fan for over 8 years and have watched every one of your videos (many of them on loop for hours at a time). The quality and integrity of your work never ceases to awe me and to give me pause. I don't know, I just can't really say enough how much your work means to me and how much it has affected my life. Thank you so much! Please please please keep creating!
2019-11-21 06:01:24 +0000 UTCI have been greatly enjoying your creations for years now and this video sealed it for me, I need to be supporting you in more ways than just viewing so here I am. Thank you for giving me reason to put headphones on and travel somewhere else. What an absolutely transformative 30 minutes of my life that I wish I could experience for the first time all over again.

2019-11-21 04:33:05 +0000 UTCNothing to add other than my admiration. You and your partners are exceptionally talented and it's inspiring. I'm hyped for part II!

2019-11-20 22:57:46 +0000 UTCWaited the video to be on youtube to watch it on my 4K TV... And... I don't know, there is no word... Even perfect isn't good... This, is just a video that we needed here on Earth ! And this is free on youtube, just amazing... If I could give you more money for your work, I would do it without hesiting ! I knew it would be awesome but not that much, didn't even know that was possible... As i don't have any special word... Just... Thank you ! ( And btw, you made a mistake with my name in the video description but nevermind it doesn't matter at all :D ( I just hope my english wasn't too bad lol ))
2019-11-20 22:17:32 +0000 UTCThank you! I made most of it, the future cities at the end were made by my friend Julius Horsthuis. Check out his awesome work.
John Boswell
2019-11-20 21:49:55 +0000 UTCYep, for this piece I created almost every shot. See the credits for additional visual creators I partnered with.
John Boswell
2019-11-20 21:39:19 +0000 UTCWow man,simply wow ! Where you get the footage? Those cities of the future look astonishing ! Thank you for this video man !
2019-11-20 21:32:20 +0000 UTCCompletely Awestruck! I know you're not done yet, and I can't think of words to describe how incredibly wonderful this first part is!! Eagerly awaiting the next part!

2019-11-20 21:19:48 +0000 UTCQuestion: where do you get all the animations of space and planets? do you make them yourself?
2019-11-20 21:18:25 +0000 UTCDANMMM, THAT'S LIT 🔥🔥🔥
2019-11-20 21:14:46 +0000 UTCPosting wide in a couple hours 👍
John Boswell
2019-11-20 15:35:46 +0000 UTCI did not learn something new in this video, But that music and that animations, god. That was really good, hype for waiting Chapter II <3 Such Perfect, man
2019-11-20 10:06:03 +0000 UTCNot to be in a rush or something, but I'd love to share this awesome video with some of my friends :) When will you put it on Youtube?
2019-11-20 09:01:56 +0000 UTCMy computer recently broke and my iPhone XR is charging so I found my iPhone 6s turned up the brightness/put in headphones and all I can say is this is truly a fuckin masterpiece and blew my mind. I can not wait for the chapters to come in the future.
2019-11-20 04:02:12 +0000 UTCI am just about to put it on my TV and I can't wait! I really can't thank you enough John, I really do think you're the BEST content creator on YouTube right now by far!
2019-11-20 00:07:24 +0000 UTCAmazing. So proud to play even the most minor of roles in getting something like this made.
John Maier
2019-11-19 22:53:03 +0000 UTCWow, I must say thank you. Thank you for gifting us these masterpieces. It has been a rollercoaster full of awe and wonder watching this movie. You're inspiring a future generation of humans that will look back at your videos as that that ignited the spark of science inside them and I must, as human and as scientist, thank you for your work.
2019-11-19 21:34:55 +0000 UTCCan't wait to watch this!
2019-11-19 18:40:00 +0000 UTCAbsolutely fantastic video, especially visually overwhelming. Even if I belong to the large part of the scientists who rule out that life was possible as early as you show in your video. Anyway doesn't matter, please continue the great work! :-)
2019-11-19 17:52:54 +0000 UTCJohn... nothing to say. TEN stars to this project. You did it again. Im super proud of you and all your mind, your creativity, your way to see all in this universe. CONGRATULATIONS! Dropping this comment while I eat some popcorns and seeing the movie. A big hug!
