Who is Sky Guy
Jun 24th

After working in the software industry for almost twenty years, Mr. Vilot decided it was time to merge his two passions: astronomy and kids.

Mr. Vilot studied acting for two years.
He launched SkyGuy.com, a series of short videos answering the many questions he has received from kids while volunteering at Fiske.

This time it is video, lighting, sound, editing and animation.
