"A Rough Sketch for a Proposed Film Dealing with the Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of Things in the Universe" is a 1968 experimental film that explores the vast scales of the universe by zooming out from the human scale to the outer reaches of galaxies, then zooming inward down to the nucleus of a carbon atom. Using images, narration, and a visual dashboard, it effectively illustrates the concept of relative size and the exponential impact of adding another zero to a number. This film served as a foundational model which was later expanded and refined into the famous 1977 film "Powers of Ten." Interestingly, Charles and Ray Eames often gave their projects lengthy, exploratory titles to emphasize their conceptual approach and ongoing development process. Additionally, this film laid the groundwork for one of the most influential visual representations of scale in cinema, inspiring many scientific and educational filmmakers thereafter.
