So me and my pal are working on this film for Dome 'Fest 2004. It's a competition for shorts filmed with 180 degree lenses, then projected with 180 degree lenses onto a huge dome surface.
The clip is obvioulsy compressed quite a bit. The actual resolution of this thing is staggering (10 seconds of time lapsed raw frames are about 1 gig). I've been handling the music and my friend has been doing all the video, filming sites around the city and whatnot, then editing them to fit with the music we worked on together. We're almost done, still have a few more things to take care of.
Here's a clip. It's all rounded, but when projected onto the dome it would look normal.

ha! awesome work, pomme, i'm so jealous! ;)

Very nice.
How do you test a movie like that though? I mean to see how it looks when actually projected onto a dome. Do you get to practice it somewhere? Or is going to be a surprise for you guys too on the actual festival? I mean for instance... what does it look like in a dome... when you use the effect where the orb gets smaller? I imagine if you're looking at that shot projected on a dome, it must feel like you're falling down.
I like the music too. And also what the guy is saying. He sounds like my old biology-teacher :-p That guy was always rambling on about the fact that we had no idea what the actual world looked like, we only knew the interpretation of it that our brain makes. Haha. Pretty heavy stuff for high school.

great!
I love fisheye-lenses and such (although it will not be used in this way now). The editing was cool and most of the photography + sound fit very well together.
How much did you pay for the equipment used for this film?

Do you get to practice it somewhere?
So far everything has been done on pc..,and the competition is thousands of miles here, so I probbly will never get to see it in all it's glory. My friend that I'm doing all this with has a small dome set up in his studio space. I'll probably get to see it on that soon.
imagine if you're looking at that shot projected on a dome, it must feel like you're falling down.
Yes, exactly. You have to use your imagination quite a bit to try to figure out how this is going to look on a 180 degree surface.

"so I probbly will never get to see it in all it's glory."
You're not going to the actual film festival yourself? :-/ That's harsh. All that hard work... and you'll never see the results.
"You have to use your imagination quite a bit to try to figure out how this is going to look on a 180 degree surface."
It'll look really cool though I imagine! I once went to one of those theaters that uses that technique... and it was truly amazing. There were shots of mountain-climbers that actually made me feel afraid of the hight. And when they showed a piece of film shot from a ride on a rollercoaster, I could feel it in my stomach as if I was on the rollercoaster myself :-)
I think it's because when you're looking up to such a dome you never see the edges of the screen (like in normal cinema). So the mind probably gets tricked into thinking the images are real and not just a movie-projection. It's a very interesting technique for sure!

You should open it in Windows Media Player if another app tries to run it. Other than that I wouldn't know why it doesn't work on your machine.

"some of the codecs required by this media are not installed on your system"
It's those fucking "codecs". One of them ran away, and the other died. I think I fed it the wrong diet.
