After months of planning Fulldome UK was over in the blink of a fisheye! Fulldome merriment was had by all from the best of Fulldome Films to the crazy and creative Fulldome shorts that competed for prizes… It was a veritable Olympiad of Fulldome with entries from all around the world.
We were ecstatic with our medal for Best Use of Dome for Miracle of Life, a Fulldome Cell-errific adventure. Although you won’t be able to experience it in all it’s dome-tacular glory we’ve got a full preview just for you…
This is the second award that Miracle of Life has picked up this year after it was crowned with the honour of Best Narrative at DomeFest in the summer.
The award for Best Sonic Experience went to one of our astrochaps! A very dapper looking Mr Aaron Bradbury was thrilled with his medal and has been showing it to all visitors to the Studio. We’re very proud of our astrodude, congrats Mr Bradbury! If you’d like to download his dometastic sonic adventure then click here >>

The much anticipated DomeFest 2012 took place in the summer this year. No sooner had we packed-up our domes from IPS 2012 we were back in LASM’s Irene W. Pennington Planetarium for a jam packed dometastic schedule.
With shorts, shows and talks from around the world the event celebrates the good and the great that Fulldome has to offer. We saw some amazing Fulldome content as well as sharing some shorts we created exclusively for the event.
You can watch our short, ‘Miracle of Life’ that won Best Narrative at this years’ DomeFest below:

Especially for you we’ve got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the anatomy of our biology Fulldome digital planetarium show, Cell! Cell! Cell!
We’ve selected a number of shots from the show and have deconstructed them to show some of the steps that go into making such a cell-tacular show.
For every show we make we go through an extensive production process, from carefully deciding which scenes to include and then building every last object inside the computer so it can be rendered for all to see.
Be sure to make each gallery full-screen to see all the details. If you head over to our Flickr page you can even download the 4k files (navigate to the original quality image) and see even more detail or put them up on your dome to experience them in all their immersive glory!
After months of intense work on We Are Aliens! we finally premiered the finished 2D Fulldome version of the show at the National Space Centre on 10 October 2012.
For every show we make we go through an extensive production process, from carefully deciding which scenes to include and then building every last object inside the computer so it can be rendered for all to see.
We’ve took shots from three scenes to give you an insiders look into the making of We Are Aliens! They cover various stages of production from storyboarding and concept art through to layout and final renders. Be sure to make each gallery full-screen to see all the details. If you head over to our Flickr page you can even download the 4k files (navigate to the original quality image) and see even more detail or put them up on your dome to experience them in all their immersive glory!
Fulldome UK is coming to The National Space Centre! Yes, three is indeed the magic number with the third Fulldome UK event being held at the biggest dome in the UK.
The event, which is being held on the 16 and 17 November will be the biggest Fulldome festival the UK has ever seen; not only due to the physical size and number of seats in the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium but also due to the exceptionally talented array of contributors.
With Live VJ sets, Workshops with Fulldome industry insiders and a plethora of artistic Fulldome shorts the festival will be a veritable dome-tastic extravaganza!
When asked about hosting the event at The National Space Centre, our very own Paul Mowbray said:
“We are all really buzzing about the event and the fact that it is happening on our doorstep! Submissions have been flooding in from all over the World, it’s going to be an awesome event with lots of great speakers and I’m sure lively debate. There is no place like dome!”
As well as showcasing the best of Fulldome shorts, produced by professionals and students the festival will also be showing the best new Fulldome films, which of course means that We Are Aliens! will be showing.
