File:Stardust - Elite Dangerous CTRL+ALT+SPACE 2017 Competition Winner

My winning entry for the Elite Dangerous "CTRL+ALT+SPACE" video competition.

I wrote this to honour the memory of my mother who passed away in March 2015. While the idea of making this video has been in my mind for a long time now, it was only with the arrival of the new camera suite in the 2.3 update to Elite Dangerous that the concept finally crystallised into the narrative form I've been able to create in this video.

I didn't start making my Turjan's Travels series until April 2016, so sadly my mother never got to see the misadventures of Cmdr Turjan. I know she would have been proud of them though. She would have been proud of 'Stardust' too, though I suspect she might have tutted at me for being sentimental, because like I say in the video, my mother was indeed a formidable lady.
