Orchids take centre stage in a
new film called Darwin and his Fabulous Orchids.
It’s a polished nature movie
about a naturalist’s journey through evolution, with the aim of introducing new
audiences to the world of orchids in a novel and rather impressive way.
It is a ‘full-dome’ show that sheds
light on their significance for Charles Darwin’s findings about the origin of
species. Carl Zeiss has obtained exclusive distribution rights.
A joint production of the ‘Mediendom’
(media dome) of the Kiel University of Applied Sciences, the Botanical Garden
of the Christian Albrecht University; and the Tilt Design Studio in Hamburg, it
was supported by the Volkswagen Foundation and realised with assistance from
German planetariums.
It represents a bid to enhance
the aesthetic appeal of dome projections.
A total of 50 minutes in length,
it is suitable for families, and features 3D computer-animated graphics in a
new and engaging way. The trailer will make your head spin. It is in German and
‘English’, although the portentous voiceover may not appeal to all.
