Realm of Light – Chronicle of the Cosmos is Softmachine at its most cinematic: a documentary that takes audiences from the birth of the universe through the formation of stars, the explosive power of supernovae, and eventually to the emergence of life on Earth.
Directed by Peter Popp, the film leans on high-end 3D animation to hold scientific precision and visual ambition together — the kind of balance that defines a lot of our documentary work. It’s built to leave audiences with a genuine sense of scale and a bit of wonder about humanity’s place in that story.
The same craft powers our films
The techniques we invent for a live show go on to shape fulldome films and co-productions — and vice versa. Explore the other half of the studio.
