Storytelling in Back to the Future
A coherent time-traveling adventure with a dozen characters, most of whom are in both timelines, enough science to be convincing but not overwhelming, and top it off with an upbeat pace and lots of humor. Not only is that a recipe for a great movie, but Back to the Future pulls it off perfectly. Cinema is littered with bad films that told much simpler stories and strove for far less ambitious goals. This video essay looks at the bedrock of Back to the Future's success and what so many other films seem to overlook — solid storytelling.
Piper
Pixar doesn't only create amazing feature films, but they're also able to tell some pretty incredible stories in a short amount of time. Take for instance their latest project Piper, the accompanying short to Finding Dory. Starring a hungry little sandpiper, the tiny hatchling braves new territory, faces a terrifying mishap, and comes out a better bird — all in under six minutes.

Terraforming a Second Earth
It might be about time to trade in this old Earth for a newer model. There are a few good candidates that are relatively close, with Mars and Venus having the best base to start from. But terraforming a planet isn't easy, takes a long time, and — oh yeah — it's never been done. While dreaming of moving an entire civilization to another planet might sound neat, starting here on Earth might be a little more realistic.
The First Human on Mars
Alyssa Carson is 15 years old. In 15 years, NASA wants to land the first manned mission to the Red Planet. Alyssa could very well be part of that historic crew of astronauts. Skipping the being a kid part of being a kid, Alyssa is all-in for training to be a part of NASA's Mars team, having spent her entire short life up to this point to put a boot in some red dust millions of miles away.
