Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs
Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.
Travel back 66 million years to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, ruled the skies and traversed the ocean depths with a new immersive Lightroom experience coming to Aviva Studios, home of Factory International later this year.
Utilising huge, state-of-the-art 360° projections, Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs transports audiences of all ages to another world through a combination of iconic moments from Apple TV’s Emmy-nominated Prehistoric Planet and newly rendered, extended CGI sequences which showcase the dinosaur drama at true to life scale.
Narrated by award-winning actor Damian Lewis, this Lightroom experience promises to send you sweeping across dangerous desert plains, past bubbling volcanoes, up into vast open skies and down to the deepest ocean floors as it follows a succession of incredible prehistoric creatures from the Ammonites to Mosasaurs to the famous Tyrannosaurus rex.
Set to an original score by multi-Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer, Anže Rozman, and Kara Talve for Bleeding Fingers Music, the experience leverages the same Lightroom technology behind David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away), The Moonwalkers and VOGUE: Inventing the Runway.
This means that one minute you might see dinosaurs towering above your head while the next moment you notice the ground under your feet transform into a teeming jungle floor thanks to Lightroom’s immersive 360° tech.
Ready to impress audiences of all ages with equal parts education and breathtaking spectacle Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs is designed and directed by 59 Studio in collaboration with Apple TV and BBC Studios Natural History Unit Creative Director Mike Gunton.
