Regarding the domemaster format.

The image format used in planetariums is called the domemaster format. It’s a polar, or circular, representation of an image to be projected on the hemispherical shaped screen of a planetarium.

The domemaster is hard to “read” at first. The center of the circle represents the zenith, the top of the screen, while the peripheral represents the surroundings, near the horizon of the dome. Generally speaking, the bottom of the image represents South while the North is up, East is left and West is on the right-hand side.

To imagine yourself underneath and surrounded by the domemaster helps to interpret the image.

Here’s a series of domemaster frames examples with an “unfolded” cylindrical projection for reference.

ONE SKY

Full Feature film

Award-winning movie One Sky is a collection of beautiful short films about constellations, astronomical instruments and scientific knowledge from various cultures around the world. Each chapter is presented in an original and engaging way with its own artistic style featuring the work of international artists.

This innovative project has no equivalent in the fulldome world. The production was made in about 18 months. Sébastien Gauthier 360 Productions hired a worldwide team of more than 40 artists, technicians and specialists to make the seven films in such a short time. For each of the short, at least two lead artists or scientists from the corresponding culture worked at all stages of the production to ensure the authenticity of the science, the style, the spirituality.

The One Sky Project recognizes our world’s many cultures and communities with strong connections to the stars.  Traditional knowledge and practice continue to inform the active exploration of our universe today and we honor those societies and Indigenous explorers who came first.  Our project seeks to build relationships within and between all people who share our One Sky.
