Ascension Sci Fi Movie | Behind-the-Scenes Home Movies from Titan

This is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of "Ascension", a science fiction feature film set on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Narrated by the film's director, the video includes test footage and home movies shot during the making of this low-budget film in 1998. Enjoy this peek behind the curtains at vintage indie filmmaking before digital technology became widely available. This video was originally put together for the 2005 DVD release of the movie.

Seeing this after watching the finished film makes me wonder what the end result would have been with a budget of millions.
Possibly a little better but _not much!_ There seems to be a lot of truth in the old saying that less is more.

the IIc is supposedly quite a noisy camera. Did you have some kind of blimp around it for the scenes with dialogue?

Yes, it's noisy. We used a Cine 60 blimp for dialogue scenes.
