1 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm t T and I'm Zakiah, and this is Dope Labs. 2 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to Dope Labs, a weekly podcast that mixes hardcore 3 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: science with pop culture and a healthy dose of friendship. Well, y'all, 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: we made a planetarium film. It feels wild to even 5 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: say it now. It really does, because I mean it 6 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: all started like four years ago and we have been 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: working on it for that long. Yeah, I have a 8 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: new respect for people who are filmmakers. Like, I knew 9 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: it was hard, but this was, like, creatively one of 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: the hardest things I've ever done. Zakia, your brain is 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: different from mine, so I was just like trying to 12 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: envision everything and it. It just took so much. But 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: it was a labor of love, it really was. And 14 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: TT saying, oh, my brain is different. Don't y'all fall 15 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: for that? Okay. Halfway through the project, t T gave 16 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: me one of those, you know, work style tests and 17 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: was like, I'm this kind of worker. What kind of 18 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: worker are you? She was saying, she was fed up. 19 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: That was her work. I want everybody to know I 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: was just trying to help folks understand themselves more so 21 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: that you can, you know, say these are my strengths, 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: these are our weaknesses. How can we blend together? But honestly, 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: in this creative process, I really felt like me and 24 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: the kid complement each other very well, you know. But 25 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: let's talk about the film a little bit. So it's 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: called Remixed The Unexpected Side of Science, And in this film, 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: we're showing young folks that the things that they're interested 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: in currently, like right now, are all rooted in science. 29 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: So it feels like a Dope Labs episode, but the 30 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: scope is just way bigger and it's not just audio, 31 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: it's visual too, which was a lot of fun. Now. 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: The film premiered November sixth at the Museum of Science 33 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: in Boston, and so we had a really great event 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: at the museum because we already were expanding in to 35 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: the visual space for Dope Labs, and then we were 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: able to take dopelops and then we were able to 37 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: take Dope Labs into the live event space. 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: Right. 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: So we had a painting experience because we talk about 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: science and art. We had an ice cream station with 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: liquid nitrogen because we talked about science and food, and 42 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: we had a podcast studio for folks to flex their 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: science communication muscles a little bit. And tell us what 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: they thought about the film. Let's listen to that right now. 45 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: Actually, I gotta tell you, my favorite part was learning 46 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: just all the different science between algorithms in music, how 47 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: different ways that those songs get put together or put 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: using science, using large mathematical models. That just blows my 49 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: mind that something as simple as music these days can 50 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 3: be so complicated and so science space. That's exactly why 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: we need to understand this more, because it's not gonna 52 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: just make our music better, it's gonna make our jams better. 53 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 3: That was my favorite part. 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: I thought this film was brilliant and fun and soative, 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: But I think my favorite part and the part where 56 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: I teared up, was at the end where they were 57 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: encouraging kids and people everywhere to use the voice that 58 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 2: they have, to share their ideas and get their feetvd 59 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: into the world and connect that to science. Because they 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 2: it wasn't just empty words. They had kind of shown 61 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: you all the way through through pictures and words and 62 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: music and sounds, so that you were carried along in 63 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 2: that experience and felt you just too. 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: Do you guys want to say anything? 65 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: My favorite part was when they showed how sports was 66 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: like intertwined with science. 67 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: So my favorite part of the movie honestly was seeing 68 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: more black women at science, because you don't really see 69 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 4: a lot of dope black women that are you know, 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: cool and hips doing science, and just to think about 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: how we do that in our everyday life is so 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 4: funny to me because now I'm going to be at 73 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 4: work like, oh, I'm a scientist, like ice scoop ice 74 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: cream and I managed, so I'm a scientist. I'm making 75 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: a milkshake, so I'm a scientist. So it was really 76 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: fun to see how like we can incorporate science into 77 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 4: our everyday lives. I don't really think anything really surprised me, 78 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: but I guess it was more a sounding that we 79 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 4: do use science every single day within our lives. So 80 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: it was really cool to see everybody you know, participating 81 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 4: in their own way, whether it be sports or art. 82 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: So it was just really cool to be a part 83 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 4: of that experience. 84 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: One of our major goals with this film is that 85 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: we wanted to help bridge the gap and try to 86 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: get rid of the narrative that being interested in science 87 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: and like stem careers means that you will be wearing 88 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: a lab coat and working with beakers and in some cold, dark, 89 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: stuffy lab all day like science is everywhere, and so 90 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: that's really what we wanted to highlight with this film 91 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: was that you know, you could be interested in music, 92 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: and there's lots of science there that you could be 93 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: interested in. In food, there's a ton of chemistry there, 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: and you can be interested in sports, and of course 95 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: there's a lot of physics and material science and biomechanics 96 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: and so so much more. And so that's really what 97 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: we wanted to show. And so at the actual event 98 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: at the premiere, we ask people how they were a 99 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: scientist in their own day to day lives. So didn't 100 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: have to be a scientist, but show us tell us 101 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: a little bit about how you use science in your 102 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: day to day. I am a scientist in my every 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: day lit because I love learning and I feel like 104 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: science is about the pursuit of knowledge, and so every 105 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: day I. 106 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: Try to learn something new and figure out something that 107 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 4: I don't know about the world around me, and make 108 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 4: new observations that inform inform the world for me. 109 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 5: So I thoroughly enjoy the film a lot. And one 110 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 5: of the questions is share how you are a scientists 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 5: in your day to day and I am a manager 112 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 5: Jerry's and we scooped by ounces and like different combinations 113 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 5: of ice creams, the mixtures, and I feel like that 114 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 5: also has a bit of science in it as well. 115 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 5: And what was my favorite part was definitely the animation 116 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 5: and how easy it was to really articulate how science 117 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 5: is in everyday life, especially with like, you know, movement, 118 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 5: riding a bike, even just as basic as like not basic, 119 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 5: because heart is not basic at all. 120 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: It's very hard, but. 121 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 5: Just doing every day to day life was really amazing, 122 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 5: and that was one of my favorite parts of how 123 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 5: science really incorporates I think former science major. It really 124 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 5: did bring like a nice like warmth to my heart 125 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 5: to see it again and letting everybody even to like 126 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 5: everybody that could be part of it. And it's just 127 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 5: not like stay in a lab and being a nerd. 128 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 5: It's literally every day life. 129 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 6: So I really could enjoy that. 130 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: I really loved that because since they had already seen 131 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: the film when they started doing these recordings, it really 132 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: showed that it helped them see themselves as scientists in 133 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: their day to day I mean that one woman who 134 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: was talking about how she works in an ice cream 135 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: shop and so she sees how they're weighing things out 136 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: and you know, ounces and things like that. I was like, exactly, like, 137 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: this is exactly what we wanted. So it felt so 138 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: good to hear those and know that the impact we 139 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: were hoping to have with the film it was realized 140 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: just then. That's before it gets out exactly the broader public. 141 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: You know, when we think about how this type of 142 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: opportunity comes to fruition, I think a lot of it 143 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: comes from finding our people, like minded folks who understand, 144 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, the dope lbs ethos of science and bringing 145 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: science to folks. And I think this really goes back 146 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: to when we first started releasing episodes. The Museum's creative director, 147 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: James Monroe emailed us and said, hey, do you want 148 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: to do a live show now? I think that was 149 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: our first live show. Yes, it was with the Museum 150 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: of Science, and it was so fun and things just 151 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: grew from there, you know, from live shows to shows 152 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: inside the planetarium, to hosting and doing other events, and 153 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: then we just realized like when there was a call 154 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: for this type of project, it felt natural because we 155 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: had been working together with the museum, both Subspace and 156 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: the Planetarium for a while and it felt like a 157 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: natural blend. So for this episode, we really wanted to 158 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: make sure that we brought in one of our main 159 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: collaborators at the Museum of Science, Danny LeBlanc. She is 160 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the head of the planetarium and she's going to be 161 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: talking with us about Remixed. 162 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 6: Hi am Danny. 163 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 7: I used to see her pronouns, and I am our 164 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 7: director for Immersive theaters at the Museum of Science as 165 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 7: well as the director for the Center for Space Sciences 166 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 7: at the Museum of Science in Boston. 167 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: The Museum of Science is a cultural institution in the Northeast. 168 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: Whenever I talk to somebody who and I talk to 169 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people who have gone through Boston. You 170 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: know when the life sciences you have MIT, Harvard, all 171 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: the big schools. There a lot of great tech and 172 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: innovation there. But people are like, have you seen the 173 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: lightning exhibit at the Museum of Science? Have you? You know, 174 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: they always somebody always tells me about their favorite exhibit 175 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: and how in childhood they went to the museum. The 176 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: museum has been there a long time, right, It's been 177 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: there for a long time. 178 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 7: We'll be celebrating two hundred years in twenty thirty. 179 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: That's right behind the Quaker Oaks. The United States is 180 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: just now celebrating this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary next year, 181 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: so that's early stage. We have been working with the 182 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: museum for a few years now. We've been doing live 183 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: shows and before this film, the most recent thing is 184 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: that we did a planetarium live show, which was very, 185 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: very special and very cool to do. Can you talk 186 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: about planetariums just in general, like across the country, like 187 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: how planetariums impact the museum space and why they're so special. 188 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: We know, but we want the people to know. 189 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you, so yeah, the iconic experiences of the museum. 190 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 7: I always think, like what we hear a lot of 191 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 7: is there's the lightning show in the theater electricity, there's 192 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 7: the Mugar Omni theater. The planetarium has been at our 193 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 7: institution since nineteen fifty eight. Planetariums actually have been around 194 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 7: for one hundred years. They just celebrated a centennial last year. Traditionally, 195 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 7: a planetarium is a place where, you know, and one 196 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 7: hundred years ago, you'd walk in and you'd sit back 197 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 7: in a seat, look up and there would be a 198 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 7: projector in the middle with a light source inside and 199 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 7: little pinpoint holes that would be very very precisely arranged 200 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 7: so that it would make it look like you're projecting 201 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 7: the night sky, and it would just transport you to 202 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 7: another world and just get the imagination started and just 203 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 7: it invites curiosity and wonder. Technology has changed since then, 204 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 7: so now were able to transport people using different technology. 205 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 7: When I started in two thousand, so I've been there 206 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 7: for twenty five years, so not the two hundred years. 207 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 6: Of the institution, but it feels like a substantial amount 208 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 6: of time. 209 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 7: When I started there, we were using slide projectors, which 210 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 7: is like still very like old school technology, but the 211 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 7: team there was already producing content that would with slides 212 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 7: just create still images and like panoramas and like put 213 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 7: you in a rainforest, or put you in these still 214 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 7: images and these still environments where you can look around 215 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 7: at three hundred and sixty degrees and see something cool. 216 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 7: Throughout the two thousands, video technology is getting better and better. 217 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 7: Into twenty ten, it was for us we went to 218 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 7: what's called digital full dome technology, and so now instead 219 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 7: of using slide projectors, we were able to use video 220 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 7: to create pretty much anything that we can like dream 221 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 7: up or imagine and create that on the screen so 222 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 7: that we can tell these incredible immersive stories that people 223 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 7: can come in, sit down, look up, and follow this journey. 224 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 6: And I think that has just allowed so much. 225 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 7: And I think in this case, with the two of 226 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 7: you at the Helm, we were able to take. 227 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 6: The things that were in your minds and the things 228 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 6: that you. 229 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 7: Do in the podcast so beautifully and be able to 230 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 7: support it now with all of these other elements visuals 231 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 7: and audio, sound and music and just fun and joy. 232 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: I think you got to know to really appreciate what 233 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: you and the team at the Charles Hayden Planetarium at 234 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: the Museum of Science are doing, you have to really 235 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: know what the baseline is. And so let's talk about 236 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: what the baseline experience these days if you go to 237 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: a planetarium, because a lot of our audience I'm curious, 238 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, how many people have been to a planetarium 239 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: in the last ten years? Comment and let us know 240 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: on whatever platform you're listening to this on and what 241 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: is the experience for those who haven't been in the 242 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: last ten years? Typically, what does it look like to 243 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: see an astronomy story in the planetarium. Danny with Digital 244 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: Full dome technology. 245 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 7: There's a lot of different experiences that you can have, 246 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 7: but typically you walk in and I should say every 247 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 7: planetarium around the world is different and unique in some way. 248 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 6: There's all different, like the domes are. 249 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 7: They look different, they're different sizes, they're different angles. The 250 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 7: seating configurations are different for us. You walk in, you 251 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 7: go up a little ramp and then you get to 252 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 7: choose your seat. The seats are all arranged in a circle. 253 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 7: It's called concentric seating. But it's got this really cool 254 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 7: storytelling campfire. 255 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 6: Field that we love. 256 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 7: Right, So everybody's seated in a circle. 257 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 6: It's very community style. 258 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 7: You sit back and you look up and then a 259 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 7: show begins. You know, we could have something about black holes, 260 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 7: or there could be something about we have a show 261 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 7: that's about exoplanets, which is all the worlds that are 262 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 7: being discovered outside of our own solar system. 263 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 6: And you'll have a narrator. 264 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 7: Usually it's a single narrator, the voice of the universe 265 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 7: who's telling you this story. But it's a very passive 266 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: kind of experience that you just sit take it all in. 267 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 6: It's beautiful spectacle. 268 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 7: The imagery transports you, takes you to these other worlds, 269 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 7: but you don't really get a chance to engage back. 270 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 6: So that's like the traditional typical show. 271 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 7: We have other shows in digital full dome technology now 272 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 7: that allow you to actually fly through the universe is 273 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 7: what we call it, So you can actually someone can 274 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 7: drive behind the console and real time they're flying you around, 275 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 7: lifting off the Earth, looking at planets, looking at the moons, 276 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 7: going beyond the Solar System, looking at the galaxy star 277 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 7: clusters and then galaxies beyond. But what's really cool about 278 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 7: that now in twenty first century is that it's all 279 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 7: based on real research and real astronomical catalogs from scientists 280 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 7: that are put into these data sets that we get 281 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 7: to access in real time and fly through. So you 282 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 7: think of like Google Earth you get to explore on 283 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 7: your computer. This is like Google Universe with a tour 284 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 7: guide and you can ask questions and you know, we 285 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 7: can have a lot of fun with that, and we 286 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 7: can tailor it for the audience so that it's different 287 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 7: for us as presenters every time too. 288 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Can you talk about your team a little bit, who 289 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: they are, what their roles are, and how they contribute 290 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: to this amazing work because they have very unique sets 291 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: of skills that you don't find very many places. 292 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no school for learning how to do what 293 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 7: we do. So I'm incredibly lucky. I have a pretty 294 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 7: sizeable team. They're educators, VFX, multimedia producers, and artists, and 295 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 7: we all wear many hats. On this particular team. We 296 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 7: have people who are trained in astronomy who've gone to 297 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 7: school for it, and we have people who've trained in 298 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 7: completely different disciplines. Aren't a few people who we've had 299 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 7: in the past that have different science discipline trainings. But 300 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 7: really what they're interested in and what brings everybody together 301 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 7: is the idea of science communication and telling these stories. 302 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 6: And then even if. 303 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 7: They don't know astronomy or haven't learned it in a classroom, 304 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 7: they're excited by it because they know that it can 305 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 7: open up these bigger questions and they have themselves that curiosity. 306 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 6: So my team there's seven people. 307 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 7: We've got two of them who started before I did, 308 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 7: one of. 309 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 6: Them who trained me. His name is Darryl. 310 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 7: He's been there for I think forty years so, and 311 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 7: he worked in planetariums even before the one that we're 312 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 7: at now. He's been working in planetariums since he was 313 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 7: sixteen and so, and this is very common in our field. 314 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 7: There's people who just stay here doing this for a 315 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 7: long time because they just get so much joy from it. 316 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 7: And then we have another staff person, one of our 317 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 7: VFX multimedia artists. 318 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 6: His name is Chuck. 319 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 7: His parents worked in the planetarium in nineteen fifty eight, 320 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 7: both of them, so he's been at the museum for 321 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 7: a long time. And then we have people who've been 322 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 7: there for fifteen years and in that order of magnitude. 323 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 7: And we have people who just started the last couple 324 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 7: of years who are new and just like learning the field. 325 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 7: And both of them came with video production and animation backgrounds. 326 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: Not all planetariums are producing films. You're both displaying films, 327 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: but you're also producing new content that then gets picked 328 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: up by other planetariums. Right, so you both are a 329 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: knowledge distributor and a knowledge producer with your team, and 330 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: I think that's really important to credit. I think in 331 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: the past you've told me before, in the past fifteen years, 332 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: you all have created six shows. Now, the one with 333 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: Dope Labs we're very excited about, and we're going to 334 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: talk about that in a little bit. But I want 335 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: to talk about what it looks like to collaborate because 336 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: we've been collaborators for years and I think people think 337 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: about collaboration in different ways, and this is the wildest 338 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: group project I've been a part of. I think our 339 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: collaboration has been so special and it didn't feel foreign 340 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: to us because TT and I have worked in labs 341 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: and this felt just like that, like working with your 342 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: team felt like, Okay, the Dope Labs lab is now 343 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: working with the Planetarium Lab. They're grass students their PI, 344 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: like we're working all together. And it was such a 345 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: great process. 346 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 7: I loved working with both of you and want to 347 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 7: talk about that because it was the creating something out 348 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 7: of nothing or with a seed, the seed of Dope Labs, 349 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 7: and like, how does that manifest into something that's like 350 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 7: this visual experience and that ability to be able to iterate, 351 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 7: Like I love, I just want to I'm stuck on 352 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 7: what you said because it's so great, Like it was 353 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 7: a lab and we get to iterate and try some things, 354 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 7: see what they look like, tweak, adjust, and then try again, 355 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 7: and that was just that whole process was so so 356 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 7: much fun and it really was the first time that 357 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 7: we did it like that in such an organic way 358 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 7: because usually so talking about some of the other collaborations 359 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 7: that we've had, we do we start from scripts, we 360 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 7: start from like it's a very linear there's still room 361 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 7: for creativity and for freedom and for trying things and 362 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 7: for iterating, but it's more along this like linear path. 363 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 7: We know the story we want to tell and we 364 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 7: kind of just start to write it and then we 365 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 7: map it out. This we decided to go to Oklahoma 366 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 7: in the last six weeks of production, and then two 367 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 7: weeks later we're in Oklahoma and our cinematographer is like 368 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 7: in a field with sticks that I didn't know what 369 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 7: those were, right, And like, I just I loved the process, 370 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 7: collaboration and being able to figure it out on the fly, 371 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 7: and just for us, it was really important that we 372 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 7: were following your vision the whole time, and that so 373 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 7: if you any ideas that you had bucking Broncos, sure, 374 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 7: let's let's let's go for it, because that's never been 375 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 7: done before and it tells the story and it's going 376 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 7: to surprise people in a way that is going to 377 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 7: engage them and get their attention, and that is what 378 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 7: we're hoping for. 379 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: I always go back to the moment where this was 380 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: presented to us as a possibility when we were applying 381 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: for the grant from NASA, and I was just so 382 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: blown away that we were even thought of for something 383 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: like this. This was just not on my bingo card 384 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: when it came to like Dope Labs and building the 385 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: Dope Labs ecosystem. I never in a million years what 386 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: I thought I would be co producing a film with Zakia. 387 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: But I'm curious how you approach it and like what 388 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: made you say this would be a great project for 389 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: TT and Zakiya. 390 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 6: Well, for that part, we had been following you. 391 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 7: I know, we had been at events that you'd had 392 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 7: at the museum before this project, and the two of 393 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 7: you are just incredible science communicators and the energy that 394 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 7: you have in the podcast and that just together and 395 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 7: telling those stories to be able to like bring that 396 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 7: into the planetary and we already knew that was going 397 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 7: to be something magical because it's so different from that 398 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 7: single voice, right to have the two of you engaging 399 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 7: together and having fun together brings the audience into the 400 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 7: story in a way that just isn't hasn't really been done. 401 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 7: I don't know why, and I'm hoping that this will 402 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 7: start a trend and let's have other people try it more. 403 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: We went to Don'tfest with which is a planetarium and 404 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: immersive film conference where people are showing what's new, what's next, 405 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: what's happening in the field. And for anybody thinks that 406 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: planetarium films are just like this niche only looking at astronomy. 407 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: Only people who are super nerded out are into this. 408 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: The United States Space Force has a planetarium film that 409 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: is in the way. We have a navy and an army. 410 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: We have a group of not planeteers, I don't know 411 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: what they're called, but that's Captain Planet in them, Captain 412 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: Planet and all of his friends. We have a defense 413 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: team that has been built and is monitoring space on 414 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: behalf of the United States. So the United States Space 415 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: Force created a planetarium film. When we saw that film 416 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: at Domefest West, I said, this looks very, very different 417 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: from the things that I've seen before, and I want 418 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: you to tell us, like, what do you see that 419 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: was different the adoption of that type of technology, But 420 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: your team has done now and how you see what's 421 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: ahead for evolving filmmaking. 422 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 6: In the dome I think, yeah, I remember that film. 423 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 7: I also remember the one with the trees where it 424 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 7: was like just the journey of a tree in the 425 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 7: forest that becomes a violin. 426 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 6: Who would have thought. 427 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 7: That a story like that is going to be told 428 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 7: on plane term. So I think that there's evolutions in 429 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 7: the storytelling. There's evolutions, and I think this show is 430 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 7: such a big part of that because there were so 431 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 7: many things that we tried just from the storytelling angle, 432 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 7: like having two narrators, having both of you on screen 433 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 7: for part of it, doing so much live action filming 434 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 7: as we did that is really really really new and 435 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 7: novel for the field, and so I'm excited about that. 436 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 7: And then for the tech that's also getting better and better, 437 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 7: like the video production technology, the cameras that are being 438 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 7: used we did live action filming, as screens and projection 439 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 7: technology get better in planetariums and now a lot of 440 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 7: domes are thinking about there's a few that have already 441 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 7: gone and many more that are coming online to go 442 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 7: to LED technology. And LED technology is going to like 443 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 7: show every visual flaw right, So because it's there bright, 444 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 7: it's many pixels, it's a lot of lumens and lot 445 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 7: of light, and you see all the every artifact, so 446 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 7: the technology has to catch up and keep up. But 447 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 7: I think that being able to tell stories with live 448 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 7: action is also something that's traditionally not been done in planetariums, 449 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 7: but now the technology is catching up so that you 450 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 7: can tell stories about people, not just about space. Space 451 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 7: is awesome, there's room for that too, but we can 452 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 7: tell stories about the people, which just adds now so 453 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 7: much humanity to the experience that you're getting inside the space. 454 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 6: And now it's like. 455 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 7: We can have Anie a Khon, which is one of 456 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 7: our artists in the film, telling his story about how 457 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 7: his process works and seeing his artwork come to life 458 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 7: in front of us, like from his sketchbooks and from 459 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 7: his murals. 460 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 6: We can bring that in a way that people weren't 461 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 6: able to experience before. 462 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 7: So the tech will always, i think, be secondary and 463 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 7: supportive to the story, but the tech definitely allows us 464 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 7: to tell stories that we were never able to tell before. 465 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 7: I just couldn't be happier with how it came out. 466 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 7: I hope the two of you feel the same. 467 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely. This has been such a rewarding experience and 468 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: seeing all of our ideas come to life has been 469 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: amazing and We've really as always loved working with your team. 470 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: So I guess what's next for this film is we're 471 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: hoping to have it rolled out across the country to 472 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: planetariums and museums anywhere where you can watch it. We 473 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: want to have it in front of folks and have 474 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: you all who are listening to this be able to 475 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: see it. If you're in the Boston area, you can 476 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: see it right now, yes, at the Museum of Science. 477 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: And if you're not in the Boston area and you 478 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: have a local museum or planetarium, tell them you want 479 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: to see it. It's digital, we can send it as always. 480 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Danny. You've been so incredibly patient, 481 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: so willing to explore with us and really appreciated our 482 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: not for the faint of heart, process of ideation, storytelling ventures. 483 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 7: I wouldn't trade them for anything, and they were meant 484 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 7: to be. Like the show is such a great compilation 485 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 7: of all of these incredible ideas and it's a great experience. 486 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: Well, thank you so much for choosing us and making 487 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: it happen. I think we also want to thank the 488 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: folks who supported this, so the Simons Foundation and Science 489 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: Sandbox there, NASA and the Charles Hayden Planetarium Foundation and 490 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: the Museum of Science. So yes, I mean it takes 491 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: a village that was our village to make this happen. 492 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: So you may be wondering, how can I see this? 493 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: If I want to see this, Well, if you are 494 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: in the Boston area, please go to the Museum of Science. 495 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: Remix is being shown there and you can see it 496 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: in a full dome space. But our really big hope 497 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: and what we're pushing for is that next year, so 498 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, that this film will be rolled 499 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: out to planetariums and science spaces across the country. And 500 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: as that is happening, we will be letting all of 501 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: you all know. So if it's coming to an area 502 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: near you, make sure you're locked in with us on Instagram, 503 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,959 Speaker 1: on X and right here on the podcast. And if 504 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: it's not coming to you, tell the people you want 505 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: Tell the people. Yeah, definitely tell the people.
