Video trailer of X-Minus One OTR

SFFaudio News

X-Minus One videoIt isn’t often that we direct you towards video, SFFaudio is above that de rigeur tripe, but this vid just might be worth a look. X-Minus One fan Jason Pichonsky has animated a trailer of several X-Minus One stories!

There was an odd byproduct of seeing the video – it was strange enough to see someone else’s visualizations of familiar stories that we’re designed to be heard – the images are compelling but I kept trying to navigate away from the site – and when I did, to my repeated astonishment, the images disappeared from my mind every time! It is almost as if a video, once seen, drives out imagination. Check it out for yourself, we aren’t hosting the original YouTube video, but you can view it HERE.
