Sol

"Sol" is a docu-fiction hybrid film designed for science centers and museum audiences about a group of kids who set off on a summer of discovery about our nearest star, Sol. This short piece is a test for a portion of the film where the kids explore the size and scale of our Solar System. Based on an educational model developed by Dr. David Hathaway at NASA wherein the Sun is the size of a basketball, this short film uses real objects and distances to show the enormity of our Solar System.
