In September, the GSCA community came together to experience the future of immersive cinema at the Innovations Spotlight Day in Fort Worth, Texas—an unprecedented gathering that showcased the promise and potential of LED dome technology.
Weeks later, members reconvened virtually for Beyond the Spotlight: LED Domes and the Future of Immersive Cinema, a follow-up webinar designed to reflect on lessons learned and chart the next steps for the industry.
Moderated by Michael Daut (Michael Daut Productions and K2 Studios), the conversation brought together an extraordinary panel of creative and technical leaders: Dan Neafus (IMERSA) • Daniel Ferguson (Cosmic Picture) • Kate McCallum (WORLDS) • Mike Lutz (Lutz Strategies) • Nate Cohen (Nathan Cohen Productions) • Phil Streather (Principal Large Format) • Robin Sip (Mirage 3D) • Ryan Moore (Dome Fest West) • Sean Phillips (MacLeod Enterprises)
Together, they explored what the industry learned from the Fort Worth LED Dome experience—an 8K x 8K self-illuminating surface that produces up to 150 foot-lamberts of brightness (ten times traditional cinema levels) with nearly unlimited contrast. The conversation delved into the creative, technical, and economic implications of this next-generation display technology.
