Smith: “It’s a bit hard to come up with a favorite aspect since there were so many great moments, but I can say that how the scientists are all linked together in a “network” linked by the film’s segments is pretty special and unique to science documentaries.
Universe Today: What was your favorite aspect of the completed film? I can also say that I had great fun and really feel honored to be a part of The Most Unknown!” Seeing the unique life in a methane seep, the behaviors of fish and other creatures at such high pressures, and looking beyond the seep communities to what appears to the eye as a sandy void, felt like an off-planet experience and something akin to what it might feel like to be under the ice of Europa, perhaps! Overall it was a great privilege to work with such incredible artists and respected professionals in the film and science worlds, learn about the film-making process and other scientific endeavors pushing the frontiers of knowledge, and I think that the film reflects the level of team work and dedication that went into its production. This was one of the most exciting experiences I’ve ever had.
I’ve never been in a film before, and I feel so privileged to have had this opportunity to work with such great filmmakers, storytellers, as well as other scientists, and with my jobs being to share my excitement in observing at Keck telescope for the work I do, as well as learn about another researcher’s fascinating science in a really unique field site - a methane seep 1000 meters under the ocean’s surface! This latter opportunity was once-in-a-lifetime, as I was a passenger on the Alvin submersible during a research expedition. Smith: “Doing this film was really an incredible and amazing opportunity for me. Universe Today: What was it like doing the documentary? Rachael had these things to say to Universe Today about The Most Unknown: Let’s hope Netflix continues the trend, and other online outlets for original content (are you listening, Amazon and Hulu?) follow suit!ĭr.
#The most unknown tv#
In an era of UFO and Bigfoot documentaries on cable TV masquerading as science, The Most Unknown is a refreshing and true science documentary. The film also credits, among other things, “the yeti crabs, proto-stellar clouds of dust & gas, neurons and dark matter particles who made this film possible.”
The Most Unknown includes such far flung locales as a particle accelerator buried under the Italian Alps, the windswept Keck observatory in Hawaii, and the deep sea.
