'VIDEO DOCUMENTATION':

'SYNOPSIS':

Like seeds from trees, paperkite like, colorful creatures are falling into an inspiring world rich in form and color. A dancer enters the dome. She looks around to take in the scene and then begins to interact with one of the kites through her movements, guides and transforms it.

The fusion of analogue dance and digital animation tells the story of the “birth of an idea” on a symbolic level, its partially destructive development and maturation process, up to its entry into the material reality.  

'IDEA':

"SEEDS" will be premiered on 22th of May 2019 as part of the International Fulldome Festival Jena.

'THE ANIMATION':

The Rendering of that "fisheye" footage was than transcoded into an equirectangular image with the VR Plugin "VR:Converter" of Adobe After Effects 2018.

'THE VIRTUAL DOME':

The virtual dome was created in Unity, using a sphere. In order to play a video on the inside of that sphere, a shader skript that flips the normals had to be added.

Another skript to add a "Third Person Camera" and therefore enable the spectator to "turn the head" inside of the virtual dome was coded and applied to the Main Camera.
