<nettime-ann> Dome Lab: Application deadline THIS Friday 3 September 2010 |
. DOME LAB 2010 CALL FOR APPLICATIONS CLOSE FRIDAY 3 SEPTEMBER 2010 Fulldome and other 'frameless' screens provide what filmmakers dream about - an audience so immersed they become part of the story, an experience so seamless that the story transcends its mode of delivery. WHEN 31 October - 5 November 2010 :: Perth, Australia. WHAT The emergence of destination cinemaâ and the proliferation of large-format screens in public spaces present a challenge - and opportunity - to filmmakers and artists working in more traditional screen formats. At the very least a new cinematic language is required, one taking account of the audience's very different experience of stories presented on framelessâ screens. Fulldome, with its hemispherical screens and surround-sound, is an accessible and powerful test-bed enabling filmmakers and artists to experiment with and develop this new language. WHY Reflecting its provenance, most fulldome content to date has been educational and comprised of computer-generated animation, data visualistion, or a combination of both. Now, however, there is a shifting focus, with producers turning their sights to the entertainment potential of live-action story-telling for large-formats such as fulldome. Dome Lab is a world-leading intensive workshop investigating this potential and the specific challenges involved in creating compelling live-action narrative content for large format and frameless screens. Participants will work alongside a team of creative and technical luminaries including Academy-Award winner, Ben Shedd, 2010 Peter Rasmussen award-winner, Peter Morse and international fulldome pioneer, Hue Walker Bumgarner-Kirby. WHO Filmmakers and artists excited by the chance to leap beyond the frame and into the expansive creative potential of large-format, immersive screen experiences are invited to apply. Applicants must have a minimum of three years professional experience in their field (except for SDA Scholarship applicants - see guidelines for details). Selection will be based on skill-set, with a view to putting together four to five small production teams. Accordingly, applicants from the full production chain, including writers, directors, camera and audio operators, editors, and designers are encouraged to apply. HOW Deadline for applications is 5pm CST, Friday 3 September 2010.
