NSW Place Management requested a projection dome as part of the Winter Festival in Tumbalong Park for 4 days of the public school holidays
Challenge
The brief was to provide a walk in dome cinema in an outside venue. The dome was open from 1pm to 7:30pm (and 8:30pm on Friday and Saturday)
Solution
The Dome Company supplied our pop-up all weather projection dome including flooring, a one hour programme of fulldome movie content and a bespoke sound track.
Setup and execution
The fulldome movies were sourced online from the “Fulldome Database”
Our video technician, Osvaldo created a loop of 8 – 10 fulldome movie clips with the theme of winter and space.
A bespoke soundtrack from Spotify was linked by bluetooth into our 4.1 sound system.
The result was a stunning presentation of a variety of fulldome movies.
Outcome and benefits
Queues were outside the dome from 1pm, and for most of the day there were up to 30 – 40 adults and children of all ages in the dome. Many of the younger participants lay on the floor mesmerised by the video content. With an upbeat sound track there was also a lot of spontaneous dancing. Ossie and Robbie were kept busy full time ushering people through the roll-back fabric entrance, and keeping wandering hands off the 8 laser projectors.
