One of the explorers attempts to exploit the dinosaurs, while the other wants to leave their underground hideout untouched by civilization. Written by Edward Mast and Lenore Beninger, “Dinosaurus!” is directed by Dr. George Popovich, who teaches film and drama at HFC. “Dinosaurus!” will be presented in an immersive environment. The audience will be seated onstage and will be surrounded by a physical set built and painted to match the virtual set projected in 3-D stereo on a 20x36 foot 3-D projection screen. They will wear 3-D glasses. The dinosaurs will appear to be 20 feet tall. To further the immersive environment, several 4-D effects will be created, which is a physical effect complementing an animated or virtual effect. SO WHEN THE T-REX SNEEZES, DUCK! HFC’s VTL uses advanced cinema technology such as virtual reality, performance capture and animation to enhance live stage plays. The VTL’s production of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” was a regional winner in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in 2003. The VTL’s production of Caryl Churchill’s “The Skryker” was a finalist for the National Bellwether Award, an award that annually recognizes outstanding and innovative programs and practices at colleges. In addition to the public performances, there will also be private performances offered specifically for elementary schools. All school performances are $4 per student.
