In October 2006, NASA launched twin spacecraft from a single rocket in Florida that would, for the
first time in the history of space exploration, capture space-born, high-definition, three-dimensional pictures of the sun. In this cutting-edge sensory experience, scientists from the mission unveil images ranging from violent explosions of solar prominences to the beauty of the northern lights. 2007, 3-D video, 20 minutes.
Melissa Butts, the principal and founder of Minneapolis-based Melrae Pictures, has a passion for telling immersive and authentic stories by combining compelling human experiences with cuttingedge science and technology. 3D Body Odyssey: Heart, the first installment of a new 3-D digital documentary health series, is slated for release in fall 2009. Her most recent film, 3D Sun, premiered in 2007/2008 as a 3-D digital and 3-D IMAX theatrical release in the science museum community worldwide. 3D Sun is currently being adapted for 3-D and 2-D planetarium distribution.
