Secrets From A Forest

25 minute fulldome film

The Bell Museum Minnesota

All matter is in a constant state of vibration. Everything resonates with the energy of the universe.

Where you are and what you are made of reveal the hidden depths within everything and everybody.

Join us on an extraordinary journey from the snow-covered peaks, high in the Italian Dolomite mountains, through breathtakingly beautiful scenery and a very special secret forest to a small town below, where for centuries some of the world’s greatest craftsmen have lived and worked.

Driven by the artistic vision of the world-renowned National Geographic photographer and conservationist Jim Brandenburg and international award-winning producer-director Neil Lucas, we are to expand the exciting future of the dome experience.

This movie is so new and exciting it’s breaking new ground in dome production…. but, we simply couldn’t have made it just a few years ago
— Jim Brandenburg

We follow a small sapling that started life over two hundred years ago high in the mountains.

Its precious wood has been nurtured by nature, grown to a perfect maturity and then carefully crafted by the skilled hands of a luthier – a maker of violins –  who gives it a body, a soul and a voice.

At the climax of our journey, we enter the majestic Teatro Verdi in Busseto to witness our violin resonating with its universal energy in a magical musical performance.

Our Universe is a delicate dance between ourselves and nature, harmony and invention, science and art.

Using newly developed and previously unknown techniques for this movie, the Ravenwood Studios team have unlocked some of nature’s secrets from that special forest.
