I saw this movie in The Academy Of Science and was so inspired! But I can't find any regular version of this movie to show my friends in other countries and cities. I wonder if I can but DVD or download it anywhere to watch on the computer (without spherical effects). I wish you could upload it here, on youtube. I think it would attract even more people to the show.

Glad you were inspired by it! Unfortunately we aren't distributing the entire movie - it was produced for a full dome viewing environment.

[Yaroslav Gubchenko]

Really cool. Does you use some real filmed fulldome footage for this show?

[calacademy]

All fulldome imagery for the show is computer generated, but we use

some real photography and videography. Thanks for your post!

Bacterial scale at end?

[calacademy]

Almost but not quite: the visuals at the very end show the surface of a thylakoid, highlighting the molecules involved in photosynthesis.

Where can I get the soundtrack? Thanks in advance for any help you will be able to provide, cheers.

Yes, how to see the whole thing? Such film,when shown to broad public, could easily change the perception of the world sooner then any political action, revise the mindset of many, especially young generation, with as much effort as it takes to see such film.... should be available everywhere, could make mind revolution.... what are we waiting for Netflix?
