Cinema has always been a unique way to present audiences with memorable and unparalleled experiences. Its popularity is unquestionable and it seems to be, among all the art forms, the most consensual and the one able to captivate a public of all tastes, ages and backgrounds The advance in technology has naturally pushed cinema to the digital era. The quality of the images and the tools available to capture and project them are increasing. Going to the movies is more and more a unique experience, the images are becoming more and more clear and realistic, and the digital effects give the spectator strong sensations and create in the audiences the desire for other kind of film formats.



Digital cinema opened new horizons in film production: new techniques, new audiences, new languages make films more and more all embracing, easier to produce and more accessible. One of the areas that will necessarily benefit from this revolution is education, cultural diffusion and entertainment. As an example we can point the use of immersive cinema in cultural centres, museums, theme parks and other education and entertainment equipments, working as a new means of promoting and transmitting knowledge. Its versatility and the almost infinite range of possibilities of use, as well as the relative easiness in producing contents when compared with more traditional formats, makes immersive cinema very attractive. Its production is growing and it promises to change the way of making movies

New computer animation available

MediaArt & Design (MAD) released in cooperation with Cingo Studios a new astronomical computer animation. This new work shows the Algol double-star system and the movement of the stars. Dipl.-Phys. Michael Nolte of the Planetarium Münster worked in close relationship with MAD in giving his expertise. "There had been no right visualisation of these star system. It was always showing one star moving around the other one. This CGI shows both stars moving around each other, exactly as it should be." said Mr. Nolte.

The new video clip is available for museums and planetariums under public common licence fee and for TV broadcasts. Please contact our sales department.
