Fromt Planetaria Obscura October 2016 issue
Set that Tone!
I had never thought for 2 seconds about how to OPEN a planetarium show, other than - HELLO. Good afternoon!
But then I started thinking that an overall vibe was established from the get-go. So in Halloween month, I turned to the master - Uncle Rod. How did he start? Well he had utterly iconic music, but then he described what was happening… you’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. Those words were utterly hypnotic. They drew you in so firmly you could literally not look away.
Hi I’m Gary, and this is my barn! Wasn’t going to have quite the same effect was it.
I needed a grabber.
Nobody grabbed like this.
Ever.
What could I learn from it.
Hmm
