Fulldome pricing for the shows we've produced
NOTE: This information is also found on every product's "Prices / Ordering / License" page. We've summarized it here.
We make Loch Ness Productions shows available in the sizes required by the various projector systems they will run on. For pricing purposes, there are four general size categories, SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, and X-LARGE (just like T-shirts). Just choose the size you need. You can check our Recommendations list to help determine which size is right for you.

 About our licenses
Each show includes a performance license, which basically provides you with the permission you need to present the show to the public. The license term is 50 years — for all practical purposes, unlimited time.
Go here to read the details, so you'll know in advance what the license terms are. You can also download a printable version.
What we send
Our fulldome shows are made in fisheye circle form, and ship as ready-to-play movies, with audio and video files encoded/sliced/prewarped in formats and resolutions compatible with today's projector systems. We do not ship dome masters. We record the files onto data DVDs, USB Flash or external drives. We'll use FedEx to ship hard drives.
In addition to the featured show, we also provide:
• The fulldome version of the trailer (as seen on the show's Previews page).
• Still images that can be used for advertising and promotion (also found on the show's Downloads page).
• A reference book in PDF form, with the show script, production notes, acknowledgements, resources and additional information.
Installation
While it may be possible to play videos directly from our distribution media, we expect you'll copy our files onto your fulldome system for optimum performance. We provide pre-written play scripts for some systems; others will simply edit button scripts or enter the necessary system commands to load and play the movies.
Multiple Copies of Movies
Ordinarily, the shows we distribute are licensed for installation on a single playback system and/or site.
But maybe you need multiple copies of your movies because your institution operates two or more fulldome systems. Or let's say you already have large and sliced video movie files, and then get an additional portable fulldome system and need smaller movies to run on it.
For these situations, you'll need to contact us about extending the license from the first show to cover additional installations. Then, simply buy the appropriate number and size of Additional Movie Files you need, at the discounted prices we offer in the table below.

Projector/Movie Upgrades
Let's say you already have our fulldome movies at a small size, but then choose to upgrade to a higher resolution projector system and need to get new, larger movies. You retire your lower-resolution system and no longer run the movies installed on it.
For this situation, you'll need to contact us about transferring the license you received with your first show to cover your new installation. Then, simply buy the appropriate size video you need, at the discounted prices we offer in the table below.
