Fulldome Presentation

The Northern Lights are one of nature's awesome sights.  But what are and what causes them?  Over seven months in the Arctic Circle, crew captured timelapse images of the Aurora Borealis with high resolution digital cameras outfitted with fisheye lenses.  The results are spectacular!  For the first time, the aurora has been captured as it was mean to be experienced, as a display that covers the entire sky.  The show shares the science behind the aurorae and tells the story of our quest to find and photograph this phenomena for fulldome theaters.  Winner of two Telly Awards.

Season of Light traces the history and development of many of the world's December holiday customs, all of which involve lighting up the winter season. Season of Light also recounts the historical religious and cultural rituals practiced during the time of winter solstice - not only Christian and Jewish, but also Celtic, Nordic, Roman, Irish, Mexican, and Hopi. It also looks at some of our more light-hearted seasonal traditions.
