Science fiction

Science fiction is a genre of fiction dealing with the impact of imagined innovations in science or technology. It differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature. Exploring the consequences of such differences is the traditional purpose of science fiction, making it a "literature of ideas". Science fiction is largely based on writing rationally about alternative possibilities.

Science fiction-Science fact

Whether it's Star Trek's USS Enterprise, or the iconic space station from 2001: A Space Odyssey, science fiction has always provided inspiration and ideas for the scientists and engineers that design and build real spacecraft. The, at times, fine line between science fiction literature and the developments in real life space activities provides the backdrop to ESA's latest Space-in-Bytes video lesson release, titled "Science fiction - science fact".

Lost: Black Earth - Apocalyptic Science Fiction Movie Trailer

Lost:Black Earth was my first ever movie. I directed it back in 1999 and it was actually one of the very first digital movies (Yes, even before George Lucas did the digital Star Wars). All up it only cost around $AU10,000 to make. We shot it on weekends over a six month period and then I single handedly took on the post production, editing, visual effects, sound design, etc, over the next couple of years. At the time, it was a massive effort and an enormous amount of filmmaking and story telling knowledge was learned. More than you'd ever get sitting in a classroom or reading a book. Even though, looking back at it now there is so much to cringe about and so many things I can't believe I did. Since making this movie, my career has developed and I am now working in the film industry as an editor and visual effects artist and working at a Hollywood level. You can view my latest show reel here www.youtube.com So to anyone who wants to make a life in the film industry, just go out and do it. It doesn't matter if what you make is crap, at least you'll made something. Just by making something, you put yourself above 90% of the people who want to be filmmakers. And to anyone who thinks this film looks awful (and feels the need to comment about it), show me your first film. I'm betting you wont even have one. Lost: Black Earth is Directed by me, James Cole and produced by Chris Daniels. It is an apocalyptic, science Fiction, Action, Adventure movie inspired by the great movies ...
