If you’ve followed my IG account, you know I’m a fan of Paul Chadeisson and his scifi art. For Sci-Friday, let’s enjoy this scifi art video by Chadeisson – ‘Solstice-5’ – which brings some of his concept art to life in a haunting narrative. I highly recommend watching full screen in HD. Take a look:
Per one Youtube commentor: ‘The bright colors and enormous industrial aesthetic of Chris Foss, Peter Elson, and other famous sci-fi artists of the 1970s are something that is sorely lacking in modern science fiction. This visuals shown here not only try to preserve this style, but look better than most science fiction films being made today.’ I heartily agree. The moody, detail-rich backdrops create their own diegetic storytelling of a wasted planet.
You’ve seen Chadeisson’s work in Dune Part: II, The Creator, Foundation ( apple tv), and Love death and Robots. His intricate, evocative visuals take simple concepts and breathe life into them, daring you to look away. I love his work – I’d love to work with him someday.
Why am I releasing Sci-Friday a day early? Simple: today is the Winter Solstice. Let’s enjoy it with a film called ‘Solstice-5!’ I hope you enjoyed this little adventure. Paul Chadeisson and his Scifi Art never fail to amaze. Please feel welcomed to dive down the rabbit hole of every other Sci-Friday I’ve published in the past couple years. Have a great weekend!
