Powers of Ten
Probably the best known of the Eames Films, Powers of Ten refines and extends the journey of its predecessor by presenting it in color and in great scientific detail. Starting at a one meter square image of a picnic, the camera moves 10 times further away every 10 seconds, reaching to the edge of the universe; then the journey is reversed, going 10 times closer each ten seconds, ultimately reaching the interior of an atom.

Starting at a picnic, the camera zooms to the edge of the universe; then the journey is reversed, ultimately reaching the nucleus of an atom. Literally a sketch and essentially black-and-white, this is the first version of Powers of Ten. It is interesting to compare this version and the final.
