Here are my first attempts at making starfields in Aftereffects for SPiN.

My inspiration is Hubble’s deep field photo. Almost every source of light in this frame is a galaxy.

I was a kid in the 80’s. My dad would let me stay up late to watch pulpy sci-fi like Logan’s Run and Doctor Who. It made me feel special because my brothers were fast asleep while I enjoyed the company of my dad who spent most of his time working. One of my earliest, clear memories was watching a VHS copy of David Lynch’s Dune. I can remember seeing Herbert’s paperback version in my dad’s overfilled library, snatching it, and reading it cover-to-cover over the course of two days. At a tender age when my friends were playing in the mud with GI Joes, I was folding space on a Guild Highliner: The sleeper had awakened.
