A little test for an upcoming 360º dome short. The digital noise was obtained by ‘editing’ the raw data of a .dv file in ‘Hex Fiend’, a freeware hex editor for OS X (http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/). The compositing was done in After Effects. Production of the movie is in the hands of Visualantics.
