These sequences were designed for the opening and closing scenes in Follow The Sun, a documentary by Sybil Wendler. The idea was to convey a poetic theme from the film through an abstract lens of a raven flying through the solar system. Basic character animation of the bird links each shot as it travels through the solar system, first on its way to Earth, and then away from Earth. All planets and environments were modeled and animated, including subtle impossibilities like the gasses in Jupiter's bands swirling.   

This was the original full-length version of both sequences.
