Workshop Summary:
Travel back in time with a father and his daughter to meet the ancestors of modern-day birds: feathered dinosaurs. Or join Charles Darwin on his historic voyage to the Galapagos to discover how all living things evolve and change over time.
The 360° dinosaur film is followed by a presenter-led discussion of fossils, life on Earth, and the geological timeline. The evolution fulldome film is followed by an interactive discussion of present-day examples of evolution in action, as well as the geological timeline.
'Dinosaurs at Dusk' - Journey back in time in the digital dome through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous geological periods. Join a father and his daughter Lucy, who share a fascination for all things that fly, on an adventure like no other. Navigating from continent to continent, exploring an Earth teeming with dinosaurs, they search for clues on the origins of flight. 'Dinosaurs at Dusk' is a high-definition, IMAX-style 360° film available as a full-length 44min version or condensed 30min version. Trailer and full preview on our website.
'Natural Selection' - Travel with Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Islands, where he was inspired to discover the astounding biological process of natural selection. From the comfort of Down House in Kent, Darwin himself describes the mechanism of natural selection with numerous beautiful examples and glorious 360˚ visuals. The thrill of discovery, the adventure of science, and the beauty of nature are vividly merged and powerfully brought to life in this unforgettable fulldome film. Both 41min and 29min versions available. Trailer and full preview on our website.
