The MODIS instrument, on board NASA's Terra and Aqua
satellites, is capturing images of the oil spill in the
Gulf of Mexico. The spill began on April 20, 2010 with
the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. This
short video reveals a space-based view of the burning
oil rig and, later, the ensuing oil spill through May
24, 2010. The oil slick appears grayish-beige in the
images and changes due to changing weather, ocean
currents, and the use of oil dispersing chemicals.
Images in the video time series were selected that show
the spill most clearly. The full image archive is
available on the MODIS Rapid Response Web site .

Pioneer One Pilot

Pioneer One is a dramatic series that will be
distributed, for free, through the VODO network. VODO
is an online distribution platform which is able to
reach millions of viewers through their relationships
with existing BitTorrent communities. Our previous
film, ‘The Lionshare‘, was distributed through VODO and
was very well-received. Now we’re turning things up a
notch.

In the pilot, what first looks like a terrorist act
turns out to be a Cold War relic come back to haunt the
present. We follow our main characters, a team of
Homeland Security agents, as they discover the truth of
what’s happened: a forgotten Soviet space mission has
returned to Earth, and what it’s brought back will have
implications for the entire world. It’s part political
drama, part procedural drama, with a tinge of sci-fi.
But beyond the initial catalyst, which is fiction,
everything has its root in factual events.
