Exploring the Unknown Ocean is a film developed for NOAA's Science on a Sphere exhibits, showcasing the tools that scientists use to explore the deep ocean. The sphere is a six foot diameter digital globe, lit by four projectors. It can show spherical video or interactive datasets.
Honestly this was one of the coolest animation jobs I've ever had the chance to work on. The spherical display presents a lot of challenges for tools that expect flat rectangles, but also presents so many new ways for the imagery to interact with the audience.
