Aurora: Lights of Wonder

Aurora: Lights of Wonder

Dates:

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to view the aurora but lamented that you don't live far enough north to see them? In this show from HugMedia and Kwon O Chul, lament no more!

These are not the usual time-lapse images but high resolution video at 30 fps taken by special multi cameras with low light sensors. The audiences will experience sophisticated and still dynamic features of the real Aurora storm. Also, scientific explanations and beautiful art works about the legend of the aurora are featured throughout the movie. Pictures cannot fully capture auroras as they are as an actual Aurora would move faster as it becomes brighter and brighter. To reproduce such amazing aurora experience, real-time images of auroras were fiilmed with ultra-high sensitivity cameras.
