Dome Lab 2010 – Last call for applications
The emergence of ‘destination cinema’ and the proliferation of large-format screens in public spaces present a challenge - and opportunity - to filmmakers and artists working in more traditional screen formats. Most fulldome content to date has been educational and comprised of computer-generated animation, data visualisation, or a combination of both. Now there is a shifting focus to the entertainment potential of live-action story-telling for large-formats such as fulldome. Dome Lab is a world-leading intensive workshop investigating this potential and the specific challenges involved in creating compelling live-action narrative content for large format and frameless screens. This workshop series will take place in Perth from October 20 – November 5. Read More
