EVE General Discussion

Hey.

I'm pretty sure alot of you space nerds here knows who 'Erik Wernquist' is, right?

If no, then he is the original creator of the 'Crazy Frog' CGI we saw some years ago. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_bTTUihfx0. Now i didn't really know much about him after that video. I didn't care much about the video either to be honest, because it was more annoying than fun to watch.

However, his name started to get some really good attention after the 'WANDERERS' video came out that he made a little while ago. Here is that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6goNzXrmFs.

In short, his video shows what he thinks the future for the mankind will be like. Instead of describing with text what he thinks our future will be like, he describes it with a video that is mind blowingly awesome. It's one of the best short videos i have seen about the space.

Because i liked his video so much and because i found the song that he is using in the video that is called 'Cristian Sandquist - Wanderers (Feat.Nina Fylkegård)' to actually be a good song to be used for making an EVE video with, then that video inspired me to make this visual video that i made about 8 months ago: EVE Online - Asteroid Madness (Visual). My video doesn't contain the voice acting as the original video has.

Now, i can say that i'm not alone on being inspired by the 'WANDERERS' video. Because some few days ago, zaqq made a similar video with the same song as i used in my video. The only difference here is that zaqq's video have the voice acting + his video have visuals from different aspects of EVE while my video is mainly about the asteroid belt effects / graphics. You can see his awesome video here: Eve Online: Wanderers.

Now, 'Erik Wernquist' also made the CGI video about the 'Pluto passage' that was going to happen 14th of July 2015. You can see that video here: New Horizons (Extended Version). Here i was blown away by his work again. So again, awesome video.

Both me and zaqq loves Erik Wernquist's videos and i'm sure we aren't alone on loving his works after those 2 last videos. However, what i would love to see is to see CCP hire 'Erik Wernquist' to make some extremely nice EVE Online videos with 'Carl Sagan' as voice acting for the videos or anyone else as voice acting that fits really well into EVE's universe.

How do you see it if 'Erik Wernquist' would make videos about EVE Online. Would that fit well or be bad ?

Personally, i think that's the best thing CCP could invest money into .

EDIT: To be clear as i wasn't aware of that. Carl Sagan died in 1996, so it would be kinda hard to hire him. And he's not a voice actor either. His name is used from the story he have been writing in some of his books that is used in 'Erik Wernquist's' videos.

Yeah, you are right. So that's where my 'other voice actors' thing comes in like i said in my first post :-).

However, to bad he's dead now, because his voice acting is awesome.

I know right?

If my topic was TLDR or something, then it's just a topic that tells CCP to hire this person (because why not?), because i'm pretty sure he would make some insanely good videos about EVE Online.

Carl Edward Sagan (/ˈseɪɡən/; November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science popularizer, and science communicator in astronomy and other natural sciences.

So yeah, i stand corrected

Glad you twigged it eventually .

Thank you for the giggling though, cheered me right up.

Yes you have a point though, zaqq is danm good at what he does.

well it seemed at first you wantewd CCP to hire Carl Sagan but looks like that much has been cleared up. Rest in piece you magnificent bastard

Ahh yeah. As i said in my earlier post, way to much stuffs is going through my head right now, so i had to edit my first post like 6-7 times before i got it more correct.

Wut? That vid (extended one) he says by reaching Pluto we complete the historic first era of planetary exploration.
Pluto?? That's in error, Pluto was downgraded by the IAU in 2006. If a dwarf planet qualifies as part of the "historic first era" etc etc, well then it's not "complete" since there are a number of other dwarf planets in our solar system we haven't probed yet. So the video has a factual error any armature astronomer would recognize.

Well ****, I need to learn how to read long threads...
