Dome Lab 2010: 24th October - 5th November 2010; Perth, Australia
Reflecting its provenance, most fulldome content to date has been astronomy-related and created using computer-generated animation, datavisualistion, or a combination of both.
Now, however, producers are turning their sights to the entertainment market and looking at fulldome's potential for live-action story-telling. Genres that demand immediate engagement from the audience - such as horror - promise to be especially suited to the medium.
The Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT) is giving twenty filmmakers and media artists the opportunity to learn alongside a team of creative and technical luminaries including Ben Shedd, Peter Morse (the 2010 Peter Rasmussen award-winner), and fulldome pioneer HueBumgarner-Kirby. The fortnight-long residential lab will test both the potential and limits of live-action for large formats using a trial-and-error approach that prioritises experimentation over finished product.
Ten places are reserved for Western Australians, with the remaining ten to be filled from across Australia. Participants will be selected according to their skill-set and professional experience, witha view to putting together four or five inter-disciplinary teams. So we're after applicants from the full production chain, including writers, directors, camera operators, editors and designers.
