Filmmakers Harun Mehmedinovic and Gavin Heffernan set up their cameras where Earth’s beauty is a backdrop for the desire to reach extraterrestrial lands.
Their latest time-lapse video, “Dish Dance,” was shot at radio astronomy facilities used by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program—the Very Large Array Observatory in New Mexico, the Owens Valley Observatory in California, and the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia.
The sky behind a radio telescope lights up with a fiery diffusion reminiscent of an alien encounter. A choreographed dance of radio dishes lends grace to the heavy machinery.
