If your one of the lucky couples to be spending a romantic evening at the National Space Centre tonight, you’re in for a cosmic treat! As well as all the other delights that are in store, space cocktails, a romantic four course dinner, cocktails in the rocket tower, and a journey through our beautiful galaxy, you’ll also get to see an ore inspiring fulldome fireworks display produced by NSC Creative. As a finale to the night we’ve created a dazzling display of fireworks to get your hearts beating and give you the chance to whisper sweet nothings to your loved ones.
We’d love to hear your comments on the event, in particular the fireworks display. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Here at NSC Creative we have been very busy working on a number of projects for the new Children’s Museum in Cairo. The main project is a dome show that takes the children on an adventure through time to meet their ancestors and the great pioneers of Egypt. We start with discovering how the ancient Pharaohs used the stars to build their tombs and temples. We continue to visit early Arabic astronomers, scientists and rulers, before finally travelling all the way back to the present day and look down on Earth from the edge of space.
We’re coming pretty close to the end of the project, watching all the pieces fall neatly into place!
Here’s a couple of screen shots:
Exploring an Arabic celestial sphere in an Alexandrian library.
We take to the skies in this pioneering flight down the Nile.
Paddle steamers on the Mahmudiyah Canal.
A future launch shuttle blasts off into space.
An Egyptian astronaut looks towards Earth from the international space station.
We’re also working on several other large projects for the museum, updates to follow soon.

A little while back we made a promotional video for our good friends over at Global Immersion. It takes a look at what immersive solutions they have to offer and you even get a sneak peek at some of our content on the dome. The incredibly dramatic music is by Rhian Sheehan, the musician for We Are Astronomers. We’re really pleased with how it turned out and we’d love to hear your comments on it.

NSC Creative attended their first ASTC conference in October on the beautiful Island of Hawaii, hosted by the Bishop museum.
This was the first time NSC Creative had attended an ASTC conference. ASTC was founded in 1973 and now has more than 540 members in 40 countries. Science Centre and Museum Members include not only science-technology centres and science museums, but also: nature centres, aquariums, planetariums, zoos, botanical gardens, space theatres, and natural history and children’s museums; this again giving the team further opportunity to offer content to new markets.
It provided an excellent opportunity to find out about other institutions and get feedback on its productions and was a great platform for new content ideas and finding out what NSC Creative customers really want to see.
We then travelled to Hilo, (the big island) for the world’s largest Fulldome festival held at the Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii.
The festival had 52 full length shows – the largest amount of content at a dome festival to date. Participants came from over 11 countries around the globe. Participants were a mix of Fulldome distributors, key decision makers looking to purchase new content from the Fulldome industry as well as our competitors / other film producers.
The selection of shows ranged from films that are standard features, 3D programs, children’s programming, large format film conversions, and unique individual films.
The festival is a great chance to evaluate and preview content as well as looking at what is new and also see how the content is received by a live audience. All shows submitted are voted on by a board of experts and, more importantly, the general public. The team was delighted to pick up an award at this event for best script for “We Are Astronomers”.
The festival gave NSC Creative the opportunity to evaluate any gaps in the market for content and information share with other film producers on a variety of industry related topics. The team had interest in some of its show licenses, which it is hoping to convert to sales.
