your producers and presenters see fit. The show also provides several opportunities for the infusion of auxiliary effects—

the last two decades. U2 is the first ever fulldome production featuring U2’s timeless classics and modern hits, set to
lighting and animation effects using the latest in CGI and laser technology. Special effects performed live make each

Moonwalk
CLEA T. WAITE
MUSIC/ENTERTAINMENT
MINUTES: 22
Beautiful Moonwalk weaves together literature and science with iconic songs and imagery into a grand audiovisual
hyperlink. The film characterizes our placid heavenly neighbor as a living, scintillating force. Stemming from the countless
photos which comprise lunar atlases, the Moon shatters into pieces, and then rebuilds itself. It evolves from its familiar
pregnant blackness into a lambent, jittering hive of voices and sounds. Moonwalk reminds us of the Moon’s ubiquity,
compelling us to reconstruct our own personal history of the Moon. This accomplished work reaches beyond the idealized
childhood daydreams of the heavens, past the familiar Apollo footage, and into the tender roots of culture which weave
throughout our daily personal lives.

MINUTES: VARIES
Starlight Productions has a vast library of fulldome sequences designed to be incorporated into music/entertainment
shows for 21st Century audiences. Starlight Productions’ content redefines what is possible in a fulldome entertainment

Alien Action
TILT DESIGN STUDIOS
MUSIC/ENTERTAINMENT
MINUTES: 46
By a combination of 360° music video clips, animations, radioplay elements and interactive parts, Alien Action merges
the classic theme of space invasion with the history of human expansion, design, music and visual effects. In the best
tradition of pop-art the show combines the classic science fiction theme with irony and humor and its music-clip-structured
dramaturgy to a completely new chapter of digital entertainment.
Space Opera
TIMELINE 360
MUSIC/ENTERTAINMENT
MINUTES: 40
Space Opera is a virtual interplanetary journey realized with CG “spherical rendering” technology and presented in a 360º
panoramic hemispherical view, a “fulldome” video within a dome dedicated to the projection of works such as that of the
planets. The discovery of a flying disc beneath the earth allows passengers to take off from the Earth and visit an entire
solar system in less than 40 minutes: the visual setup of the opera is absolutely experimental and unedited. The ambient
recreates the interior of an alien spaceship where a voice facilitates the journey and provides information on each galactic
stop. Space Opera is therefore an artistic, philosophic, scientific and cinematic experience all at the same time and indeed
a unique experience of its kind.
