In this spec film for NASA’s Near-Earth Asteroid Scout, Portland director/animator Anton Weaver combines graphic restraint, careful rendering, and just enough science to create a sense of wonder and anticipation.

Anton Weaver: “NASA’s Near-Earth Asteroid Scout or NEA Scout is part of a new class of explorers. No larger than a shoebox, it’s definitely tiny, yet mighty and packs some advanced technologies including a solar sail that lets it harness the sun’s photons for thrust.”
