These clips are three examples of finished material made for MCS, albeit here at very low resolution (for the sake of bandwidth)

The two Mars shots are in widescreen, as the Mars crews took the largest format cinema camera available to them at the time (these predate IMAX).

The astronaut has been filmed using a 16mm camera, inside the cabin of a Moon-bound craft. Here he demonstrates the interesting effect of weightlessness on water.

These clips are silent.

This sequence was originally assembled as a demonstrator and exhibited at TORCON 2003. Now here it is available for everyone to see.

At just over 4 minutes long, it is designed to resemble how MCS would look in 2.35:1 cinema ratio, and show how much of the archival-looking clips would appear.

The soundtrack is original, composed and performed especially for this short by Valley Forge, and the clip stars Ben Maclaine as an anonymous astronaut, guiding us through the events leading up and during the launch of a Saturn-I ferry rocket.

This sequence is not destined to appear in the finished film.
