You will have seen the flat chaps hanging around the blog and in the first trailer but now it’s time to say hello to the “2.0’s”
These little peeps represent the voice of the people in We Are Astronomers and share their thoughts on what they think an astronomer is and does. They get their name from the term “Web 2.0” and encapsulate modern day thinking and working in the digital age continuing the quest for greater understanding of our Universe in the footsteps of Galileo.
What’s more important is how cute they are, stop reading and watch the video!
Now make sure you go see the film in a Dome near you to see them in action!
It’s out in the wild people, don’t walk, run to your nearest Dome to see the brand spanking new, super exciting Fulldome experience narrated by David Tennant, We Are Astronomers!
It has everything from the largest telescopes on Earth to the colossal space telescopes of the future. Take a roller coaster ride around the world’s largest particle accelerator. Find out how everybody across the globe is working together to unravel the secrets of our amazing Universe, how you can get involved and why We Are Astronomers.
Our friends over at http://www.astronomy2009.co.uk the official International Year of Astronomy 2009 website for the UK are running a competition to win tickets to see We Are Astronomers and a very special signed poster by the narrator, David Tennant.
It’s been a roller coaster journey but it is now time to put the mice down and let the audience decide what they think of We Are Astronomers!!!
Tonight at the National Space Centre, Leicester, UK we will all be packed into the dome for the official launch of the new 360′ Fulldome Film.
We are going to attempt to tweet the event via Twitter between glasses of champagne orange juice and canapes plus we will have a live twitter feed projected on a screen during the premiere which will display anyone who replies to @WeAreAstronomer
The event is ticket only so please don’t turn up on the night but please do logon to Twitter and get involved. Watch the trailer or check out the images and give us your thoughts!
We will upload loads of images and video tomorrow to share what is hopefully a successful launch with everyone.
Don’t forget, the film opens to everyone this weekend but please check with your local dome first for show times.
Seems appropriate as we near the end of production to take a look back to the beginning.
It all has to start somewhere and our starting point is always good old pencil and paper.
Below is a storyboard of the show before it got translated into the digital realm, not that much has changed really, but you’ll have to and watch the finished film to see which bit’s did change!
