ZERO is a motion picture magazine with a focus on science, science-fiction, space travel and technology. Each issue is available in print as well as in digital form for tablets and e-reader. The multimedia application of the magazine is most important since the material at hand calls for sound and motion. The third issue of the magazine provides an in-depth look (and listen) into the sound design of "Gravity" as well as a closer look at the filming of "2001: a Space Odyssey".
