NSC Creative visited the lovely fishing village of Espinho. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to meet other content producers, animators, filmmakers, artists, students, teachers and planetarium professionals within the unique Fulldome market.
We had submitted some of our content from the shows ASTRONAUT and STARS in the competitive section. It was against some tough competition from around the world. There were also public and school screenings for all the competition entries.
After a weekend of back to back screenings of a varied selection of creative Fulldome content it was down to the final day on the Sunday with the award ceremony. This was presented by António Pedrosa and Lina Canas at the Centro Multimeios Espinho, who had organised and looked after us all for the event.
NSC Creative were delighted to pick up 3 awards for the following entries:
Best Soundtrack - The Hunter and His Dog taken from STARS
Best Visuals - Launch from STARS
Finalist – Living in Space from ASTRONAUT.
After a long but successful weekend it was time to return back to the office. We met some great people who share the same passion as we do. Striving to improve awareness and help get as many people into the exciting format of Fulldome as possible.

We have been quiet on the NSC Creative blog lately as we have been busy finishing off our new Fulldome film We Are Astronomers but now that is all wrapped we hope to get much more content on here.
Here is a fun timelapse that we did with our Canon 5D and Sigma 8mm to capture the last day of production on WAA in the NSC Creative animation studio. Normally we are pretty still, staring at our monitors, pushing pixels around but this day was surprisingly active, enjoy!
