DMNS and UCD team up for FULLDOME PROJECT



The full dome digital film format is a weapon of Mass Creation. Using the resources at The University of Colorado Denver along with the support of Denver Museum of Nature and Science in an effort to collaborate science with art Timmy Edens has utilized available institutions to push the boundaries of motion graphics, 3-D design, and custom visual projections in the full dome medium. Timmy Edens, aka tim-E, has established the link and nurtured the connection between IMERSA founder Dan Neafus, The UCD College of Arts and Media Dean David Dynak, UCD Apple computer Lab Director Lawrence Haas, Associate Dean/Professor at University of Colorado Denver Visual Arts Department Joanne Brennan, and Assistant Professor of College of Arts and Media Bryan Leister so that UCD Denver can become a channel for future full dome content creation. A class project has been organized to create full dome content for the College of Arts and Media 10yr anniversary held at the Gates Planetarium March 30, 2009. The class consists of BFA Fine Arts Digital Design and Recording Arts students from the University of Colorado Denver (UCD). UCD has state of the Art Mac Labs filled with Octo-Core Mac Pros and Brian Leister, Timmy Edens, and Lawrence Haas have configured this technology to render full dome content. With this model set the University of Colorado Denver College of Arts and Media has the potential to become a world recognized school for full dome content creation. Read more!
