Why I spent 4 years faking a space mission



So y’all have convinced me that it would be a more preferable viewing experience to put the whole Spacetime series in one video – that’s available here now: https://youtu.be/m-aSLB_cshE

The original videos can be found in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpVOs5imUN0&list=PLW9UYOmoXTQnMaH_ea6fLupGtFkzMWsVG

    When watching this series i was totally confused! The mixture of CG and sets is mind boggling. Amazing job team!

  3. Ian Cheng

    Those cockpit shots were all CG?? There were a few moments where it felt so real, amazing series!

  4. TrashPandaPirate

    I haven't seen it, only the clips from this video, but i must say it looks phenomenal and I am excited to watch it. you say that you didn't get the full effect of what you might've wanted, because it might seem like a cheesy music promo, or music making tutorial, or social commentary, but it definitely seems to be more than the sum of its parts. You poured your heart and soul into this and it shows. Phenomenal work mate.

  6. Lets get to 1mill without vids

    I think it was amazing I believed it in the first episode but it was a little cheesy at times but was still amazing but I did see it as a publicity promo stunt at the end

  7. Dith

    I'm going to be completely honest and say, for myself, I was not turned away by these videos, though they weren't recommended as much to me. That could be because others weren't watching them that much and not benefiting exposure through algorithm as much, or because I have felt pushed away by your content previous to this great experiment. For the past couple of years been turned a bit away from your videos exactly because of promotions. For me, the work you do to tie in the product you are promoting into the video makes it seem like the video only exists because of the promotion. Many of the other creators I watch also do a promotion segments in almost all the their vids, but it is often not tied too much to what the video is about, and that makes it feel like they made the video because they wanted to, and not as a medium to get promotion money. I'm sorry, I know you work hard and are passionate. I have followed you since the early days of songstowearpantsto. Keep evolving. Don't take it too hard.

    its realy hard to see how the youth is getting more stupid and none educated every year. i first noticed it 20 years ago but now its in alspect of live to notice. cashiers are at least 2 times slower then few years ago, i notice that roof-jobs are now redic. long. strange thing it also happens in computer games wow for example, people have all the tuturials now how things work but they are either stupid or too lazy to watch or so bad in multitasking . a rl example: in the last 12month i got 3 bike accidents and countless almost once. fazit: the youth is slowly falling asleep at work and getting alzheimer syntoms with 20.

  9. ADragon

    Hey, I absolutely love your music! Where I can find the instrumental version of Liftoff that you've used here?

  12. Jonathan Melhuish

    Personally I saw it pretty much how you did – a fun creative experiment to shake things up and for you to try a little something new. From that perspective I think it went really well, and I hope you do other crazy experiments again in future 🙂

  13. MrKirillch

    He literally sad “I’m going to space this is NOT a joke” 10 seconds into the video. I WONDER WHY PEOPLE BELIEVED IT

  14. Gamegreli

    I don't know you and I haven't watched the series, but I actually enjoyed the story just from this video.

  15. Grace Hayhurst

    I thought this whole idea and series was incredible, and hearing you at the end of this video look for reasons why it "didn't work" pains me to hear. This was an absolutely stunning work of art, and I think hit every nail on the head that you mentioned. You should be incredibly proud.

  16. tichu7

    Spacetime was the best Youtube series I had seen. A fictional storyline, awesome special effects, wonderful characters, all as the backdrop of something very real – your passion for music.

  17. Timo Nelson

    Andrew somehow (not somehow… its because he's genius) made an excellent tutorial on low-budget filmmaking as well consistently teaching us about music! Like how to ask your friends for help is such an undervalued aspect of just making a webseries like this happen. Is there nothing Andrew can't do?

  19. Samuel Portela

    Hey Andrew, I am just writing to say that you should be really proud of the Spacetime project. That is pure art and dedication. Great job to you and all the team. Simply beautiful.

  24. Jingle Ball

    I definitely believed it for a while!😂 But I mean come on you can tell it's visual effects.

  25. ofal adrian

    Well that's life Andrew, we'll never be fully satisfied, don't worry.. it's still great and always..
