Cosmic Eye is a 🏷️#short-film that zooms through all well-known scales of the universe from minuscule elementary particles out to the gigantic cosmic web; showing the size comparisons in our universe.

The film drew inspiration from increasingly accurate graphical representations of the scales of the universe, including the classical essay "Cosmic View" by Kees Boeke (1957), the short movie "Cosmic Zoom" by Eva Szasz (1968), and the legendary movie "Powers of Ten" by Charles and Ray Eames (1977).

Cosmic Eye takes those earlier representations to the state-of-the-art by displaying real photographs obtained with modern detectors, telescopes, and microscopes. Other views are renderings of modern computer models. Smart vector-based blending techniques are used to create a seamless zoom.
