Production

The methodology used in Timelapse of the Entire Universe.

In 2012, a short, one-and-a-half-minute film by Boswell, Our Story in 1 Minute, is published. It is a shorter version of Timelapse of the Entire Universe, specifically in one minute and 29 seconds, and used closed captions to evoke reflection on humanity. It also used imageries from this film.[1]

Boswell stated that the film "shows how young we really are and how ancient and vast our universe is."[2] The film was inspired by the Cosmic Calendar by Carl Sagan, in which Boswell later implemented it by creating a stripe similar to of the Cosmic Calendar. Research for the creation of the film was started on the Wikipedia article "Geologic time scale." Every second represents 22 million years in the film.

Boswell is supported by computer scientist Juan Benet, which makes his company
