Immersing an audience in an environment many will never visit has made for some of the most memorable giant screen moments.
With that thought uppermost December Media partnered with Melbourne’s Swinburne University, a leader in scientific film production and high-end space visualizations, to produce three giant screen films – Hidden Universe 3D, Life In Space 3D and now The Story of Earth 3D.
Using extremely high resolution astronomical images from the University’s Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, December Media has been able to create CGI images that were not interpretations, but real images. Theatre audiences are wrapped in scientifically accurate, cutting-edge pictures that take them from earth all the way to the outer reaches of our universe.
The giant-screen documentary adventure Hidden Universe takes audiences on an extraordinary journey deep into space in the cinematic medium that transports audiences like no other. With the full power of IMAX 3D cinematography, the deepest reaches of our universe are brought to life with unprecedented clarity through real images captured by the world’s most powerful telescopes—seen on-screen and in 3D for the first time.
Stunning, high-resolution 3D images of space allow moviegoers to explore the earliest galaxies, watch stars being born in vivid clouds of gas and dust, tour the surface of Mars, and witness images of distant celestial structures including stunning views of the Sun. Seen for the first time in IMAX 3D, these dramatic new images offer fresh insight into the origins and evolution of the universe.
Journey from the depths of the Pacific Ocean into the far reaches of space on a quest to find something that changes everything…signs of life, somewhere else in the universe. With cutting-edge imagery from the world’s most powerful telescopes, The Search for Life in Space takes audiences from the surface of Mars and the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, to the extreme lava fields of Hawaii and thermal vents deep beneath the sea. In these harsh environments, astrobiologists look for clues to how life takes hold. As this immersive adventure into the universe reveals the possibility of planets like ours, The Search for Life in Space will make you re-examine such fundamental questions as: “Where did we come from?”, “How did we get here?” and “Are we alone?”
