IFF2009 Award Winners

June 25, 2009 5:52 pm

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.

DomeFest 2008

Last year NSC Creative picked up a “Domie” award at DomeFest 2008 in Chicago.

The coveted prize was for “Best use of Dome” for the piece Centrifuge. The piece Neurons also made it onto the final juried selection. These two immersive Fulldome sequences adapted from the ever popular ASTRONAUT show joined an eclectic collection of international contributions covering a diverse set of disciplines. The packed audience at the Adler Planeterium enjoyed an evocative 45minutes of Fulldome followed by a real world explosive fireworks display.

“There’s no place like dome!”
