LIFE BEYOND 3: In Search of Giants. The Hunt for Intelligent Alien Life (4K)

For 60 years now, we have probed the skies for signs of alien intelligence, longing for connection -- to no avail. But new ideas and technologies are beginning to change the game.

Proudly presenting the third chapter in the Life Beyond trilogy: In Search of Giants.

In this journey, we will see how far we’ve come in the search for intelligent life, how they might be communicating, just how advanced they might be, and what it would mean if we really did make contact.

It might take thousands of years to make a discovery. But as long as the mystery endures, the search for giants will continue. It's in our blood to want to know.

I don't know whether to feel sad or relieved. I could have worked on this forever. but 13+ months is enough... it's yours now. enjoy the epic conclusion to the trilogy. thanks all for watching and supporting this series over the past 3 years, and to all my awesome collaborators on this installment (see credits). I have fallen in love with audiovisual world-building and there is much more of it to come. Any questions for me??

EDIT: Dang I only got in a few responses before this thread reached max capacity. I'm launching a discord soon where we can all talk

[ElderFoxDocumentaries]

Although the video is about alien life, this is 42 minutes of pure human creativity, determination and passion.

Bravo.

[NightDocs]

I'm so blown away by literally everything you do dude. This is one of the best videos on this platform period. I can't imagine how long it took you to design and animate all these visuals, let alone RENDER them.

[hex]

42 minutes felt like 5 minutes... I can't get enough of this, the visuals, the music, the narration, the story. This series is a true masterpiece

[DavidStill]

That final shot, of us building our own interstellar laser communication, always makes me tear up. Like we're a child, so alone and confused, who can eventually grow up to be the very person they needed back then - and others may still need.

[LEMMiNO]

Incredible video. Not only are the visuals phenomenal but the pacing, music, and presentation is perfect. Amazing.

[thomassidebottom]

Just finished all three parts. Production quality is off the charts. As someone who creates science fiction stories as a hobby your work has given me many ideas. I have more gratitude for your perseverance and determination than a YouTube comment can express. I look forward to any more work such as this that you might create.

[tulpamedia]

It's insane that a tiny group of a few animators on YouTube is out shining multi-million dollar Hollywood productions in terms of quality. Amazing work.

[tejbz]

I honestly feel like a kid on Christmas Eve when I’m about to press play.

Edit after watching. Wow! This is a video that I will keep with me for many days until another rewatch.
Such a masterpiece.
The music is amazing too can’t forget!

[thejesuschrist]

I'm never disappointed by melodysheep

[itsdnk]

That shot at 23:03 was so sick. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to design, plan, author, render, foley, and score just that oner alone. Nicely done.

[Pawkesus]

There is no other channel on Youtube, that can induce such goose bumps as melodysheep.

[Hoot]

That asteroid blast at 23:40 was just... damn. Next level visuals.

[BarelySociable]

As someone learning 3d animation, this is absurdly good. I applaud the many hours it must have taken to make this.

[timlogemann]

WOW!
Your creativity is beyond normal imagination! Your videos are totally mind-blowing and quite literally not from this world. Investing that much time and effort in this video is truly remarkable. Life beyond I, II and III: Watched it and loved it!
Excited for the next piece of art!

[stephenlambert]

Absolutely beautiful ending of the three-parts. I re-watch these from time to time and I have to say, it's awe-inspiring work. Makes you really think about your place in the cosmos.

[NaturalWorldFacts]

I’ve been awaiting this release with bated breath!

[knixion]

"For a social creature like us,
Staring up at a lonely night sky is a curse."
I just can't describe how hard it hits.

[chilliewhk]

I have the pleasure of living and working in some of the remotest places on the planet. I spent nights looking up at the night sky being lit up by the milky way galaxy and feeling like a grain of sand on a beach. It's the most humbling and powerful sensations I've ever had. It gives a new perspective to not only myself but to how I perceive the world around me. I hope that I'll still be alive to see real images from other stars and to see where we might go from here.

[theobserver]

Just subscribed and somehow I finished the entire trilogy in just one go. Here I am, yearning for more, wishing that I could forget my memory of watching the trilogy so that I can experience that mesmerizing feeling all over again...😢
