A teacher I had a couple years ago suggested that I take an interest in planitarium projection. She was a designer of art for dome theaters in the 80s and I said something to the effect of "that sounds cool, but oh how on earth would i go about doing such a thing" and now I know…

I would love to attend anything and ever Blender.

So cool. I tried to get to that workshop but my funding fell through. It warms my heart to see so many planetariums doing amazing work with Blender! I use Blender as a workhorse for image warping here at our "old school" planetarium, and we'll be using it even more when we make the transition to full dome video.

lol, the third video had some problems with normals! The part with the handle going up and down during the song, there's a bunch of flipped normals! hah!

That was great. I just watched the vimeo clip on their site and really enjoyed the entries (esp. the third one). Their production environment looks great.
