If you’re in space and a huge chunk of rock zips right past you, would it make a sound?  No, because there’s nothing in space to carry those sound waves.  However, for years, sound designers have taken many liberties with outer space audio effects.  I have to admit, I take the same liberties from time to time. As the show is being sliced and encoded I’ve been working on not only the surround sound mix and special audio effects, but also the music while at home. Creating surro

At this point I have an audio track (usually still without music) and all of my scenes and photography stuff rendered and ready to be compiled within After Effects.  It’s within AE that I can crossfade scenes, add any additional video or image elements, warp text or images, create complementary transitions between scenes or pictures, create a dome mask, title sequences, etc. Before I import any sequences or do anything within After Effects, I make sure I set up and check all

When it comes to making animations for any type of show, it’s helpful to use storyboards. Storyboards help you find a direction as opposed to staring at a blank page or screen waiting for inspiration to strike.  I do storyboards for all my scenes throughout the length of the dialogue. For example, there is a large section in the new Autumn Sky Tonight dealing with the colors of the planets.  Since Mercury is the first planet we can see low on our horizon and since it’s the cl

Welcome back to The Full Dome Saga, the story of full dome production. Check out parts 1 and 2… So what is a “dome master”? Most planetarians like to consider themselves masters of the dome, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. This is a dome master! Frames for full dome movies are square with a circular image inscribed within it, this is called a dome master. When looking at a dome master on a flat screen it looks like a distorted spherical image, but when projected
