ECHO to DELTA: A Story of Alien Abductions, Imagination, and Unbreakable Bonds

ECHO to DELTA

It’s not every day that someone whom you’ve been following for over 20 years, first as a self-taught director for a local French comedy show, then as the man behind massively viral Youtube videos such as Iron Baby and Dragon Baby, ends up leaping into the world of feature films.

Patrick Boivin‘s new project, ECHO to DELTA, is, in his own words, “a heartwarming drama infused with emotion and a touch of magic.” I haven’t watched it yet, but I’ll make sure to remedy the situation during the weekend!

From David Boivin:

It’s the story of Etienne, a 10-year-old boy with a boundless imagination, and his little brother David, just 7 years old. These two share everything—their room, their toys, and most importantly, their wild and wonderful dreams. But when David mysteriously disappears, Etienne embarks on a daring mission with his loyal friends, convinced that his brother has been abducted by aliens.

Watch the trailer for ECHO to DELTA below:

For those interested, the French trailer is also available here.

Pedalling Backward to Move Forward: Introducing the Ingenious Pedalbeest!

Pedaalbeest

Step aside wind and motors, there’s a new mode of transportation in town: the Pedalbeest! Inspired by Theo Jansen’s strandbeests, artists Aat Dirks and Ad Lakerveld have created a pedal-powered beast that looks more like an exercise machine than an actual mode of transportation. Watch the Pedalbeest in action below!

360-Degree Video: NASA Simulation Shows a Flight Around a Black Hole

In this amazing 360-Degree visualization from NASA, created with the help of a supercomputer, we invite you to experience the thrill of an astronaut’s close brush with a black hole’s event horizon. Don’t forget that you are an explorer—able to look in any direction you want with your mouse as you ride the gravitational waves!

From NASA Goddard:

Goddard scientists created the visualizations on the Discover supercomputer at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation.

The destination is a supermassive black hole with 4.3 million times the mass of our Sun, equivalent to the monster located at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. To simplify the complex calculations, the black hole is not rotating.

A flat, swirling cloud of hot, glowing gas called an accretion disk surrounds the black hole and serves as a visual reference during the fall. So do glowing structures called photon rings, which form closer to the black hole from light that has orbited it one or more times. A backdrop of the starry sky as seen from Earth completes the scene.

The project generated about 10 terabytes of data — equivalent to roughly half of the estimated text content in the Library of Congress — and took about 5 days running on just 0.3% of Discover’s 129,000 processors. The same feat would take more than a decade on a typical laptop.
