Sometimes you just get the most beautiful opportunities. We're happy to share this piece we were commissioned to create to "Open Space" by the Planetarium division of Konica Minolta in Japan. They wanted us to find a way to enhance the opening sequence for the Planetariums' featured presentations in all 4 of their cutting edge facilities in and around Tokyo. Working with our friends BEMO to bring this world to life, we set out to visually explore the micro and macro parallels we as humans share with nature and the cosmic plane. The piece was designed to fill the spherical space of the dome for a full on immersive experience and the sound design was mixed in 3D across 44 different channels. Heaps of incredible 3D art, mind altering style frames, screen tests and hours and hours of work back and forth between Bemo and Bright Black and the client in Japan are bundled up in this visual poem dedicated to the cosmos and our joint human effort to understand and celebrate it. Hopefully we can all get back over to Japan soon and take in one of the most psychedelic :60 planetarium experiences currently available on planet earth.
