Filmmaking for Fulldome & Planetariums
If you’ve ever sat inside a fulldome planetarium, you know—this isn’t cinema. It’s stepping into another world. The story surrounds you, unfolds above you, beside you, behind you. You’re not watching from the outside. You’re part of it.At Avocado360, we craft cinematic 360° live-action films made specifically for planetariums and giant curved screens. Our storytelling blends emotional depth with visual presence and technical precision—creating immersive journeys that feel real, resonate deeply and stay with your audience long after the dome fades to black.360° + 180° Field of View
We capture the entire hemispheric space with ultra-wide optics – letting stories unfold all around the viewer, not just in front.
Live-Action with Presence
Our real-world dome films convey human emotion with clarity and intensity. No CGI filter – just authentic, immersive visuals.
Spatial Audio Production
We design 3D soundscapes that follow the viewer's attention and resonate naturally within the dome’s acoustic architecture.
When the Dome Comes Alive
Imagine sitting back in a darkened planetarium. Then slowly, the entire dome above and around you begins to move. A glacier cracks. A bird soars overhead. The sun rises, right behind you.
Watching a fulldome film isn’t passive. It’s not even just immersive. It’s transformative. You don’t watch a story. You enter it.
Every sound surrounds you. Every frame fills your field of view. There’s no frame, only presence.
For a few moments, the dome becomes a different world. And you're at the center of it.
Experience the future of visual storytelling where space, sound and story become one.
The Future of Fulldome: Why Now Is the Time
The world of immersive media is shifting. With the launch of groundbreaking venues like the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas and the rollout of COSM Entertainment Theaters worldwide, fulldome formats are stepping into the spotlight.
These spaces offer a new kind of visual storytelling—one where content wraps around the audience, powered by ultra-high-resolution visuals, spatial sound, and shared presence. Traditional cinema can’t match this level of sensory depth and emotional impact.
For filmmakers, educators, and institutions, the opportunity is clear: investing in fulldome experiences now means shaping the next generation of immersive storytelling. What was once experimental is becoming mainstream.
The Rise of Curved Giant Screens
Curved and dome cinemas deliver panoramic viewing experiences that surround the audience in ultra-high-resolution visuals and immersive soundscapes. The result: a full 360° feeling of being inside the story.
Next-Gen Dome Venues
COSM Entertainment Centers and similar venues represent the next wave of immersive storytelling. Massive LED domes, precise projection and spatial audio create stunning environments for cinematic content.
The Specs Behind the Magic
All our fulldome films are delivered in cinematic 12K resolution – and up to 16K or 18K upon request. Each project is crafted for high frame rates, spatial sound, and flawless integration with next-gen dome and LED technology.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fulldome and Curved Screens
What is a Fulldome Projection?
Fulldome projection displays moving images on a 180° or 360° dome surface, completely surrounding the viewer with content. It’s mainly used in planetariums, science centers, and immersive theaters.
How Does a Curved Screen Enhance the Viewing Experience?
Curved screens extend into the viewer’s peripheral vision, reducing distortion and increasing immersion. This makes visual experiences feel more natural and lifelike, especially in large-scale formats.
What is the Largest Fulldome or Curved LED Installation?
The MSG Sphere in Las Vegas is the largest immersive LED screen in the world, offering 16K resolution and 160,000 speakers for a completely new audiovisual experience. COSM Theaters are also emerging in major cities with similar immersive dome technology.
What Is COSM and Why Is It Important for Immersive Media?
COSM is a new generation of immersive entertainment venues combining massive LED domes, ultra‑high‑resolution visuals and spatial audio. These theaters are designed specifically for shared, large‑scale immersive experiences and are shaping the future of fulldome and giant‑screen storytelling.
Where Are Fulldome and Curved Screens Used Today?
They’re used in planetariums, branded experiences, immersive exhibitions, art shows, educational installations, and theme parks. Their high-impact visuals create a powerful tool for storytelling and education.
What Resolutions Are Required for Fulldome, LED Domes and Giant Screens?
Immersive dome and giant‑screen environments demand extremely high resolutions. Fulldome productions typically start at 8K to 12K to achieve sharp, distortion‑free imagery across the entire dome surface. Large LED domes and next‑generation venues often require 16K or even 18K masters, depending on size, pixel pitch and viewing distance.
Unlike traditional cinema, these formats require precise warping, edge handling and format‑specific mastering to ensure visual consistency across projection and LED systems.
Can 360° or VR Content Be Shown on a Dome or Curved Screen?
Yes. 360° and VR video content can be remapped (using a process called fulldome warping) to play on dome screens or immersive LED venues. This allows for cross-platform storytelling from a single production.
