From Equations to Explosions
In the magical world of visual effects, anything can happen.
Making Magic is the story of how visual effects are created for movies and video games – and how they are influenced by the laws of nature that govern the real world. Join Peter Stormare on a thrilling journey and discover how effects are created – from equations to explosions.

Questions and Answers
Watching a film in 3D means that the brain perceives a depth in the image that is not actually there. To experience the 3D effect, you need a pair of 3D glasses, which we lend to all visitors. Thanks to 3D, we can get the feeling that objects are floating in the air in front of us.
It works great to have the 3D glasses on top of your regular glasses.
The show is in Swedish, but we also have soundtracks in English for this show. You will get headphones from us on site.
The show’s content is aimed at an adult audience and for children and young people from 8 years. Younger children are of course welcome and usually enjoy the show for its visual effects.
Of course. We have designated spaces for wheelchairs and walkers at the top of the dome theater.

What is the idea behind Making Magic?
Digital special effects are used in film and video games to create events, worlds, and experiences that we otherwise could not partake in. In Making Magic, we want to show how we create this type of special effects – and fill the dome with exactly the effects we talk about. We have tried to include a range of techniques and things that are actually used in the industry – from 3D modeling and texturing to advanced simulations.
How did the production go?
We start with a research phase. Then we develop a synopsis which forms the basis for a script, which we develop with input from subject experts. At the same time, we sketch out a storyboard, which becomes the basis for our animatic – a kind of rough and low-resolution version of the film. From the 3D program, we render out the frames and then follow up with post-production. The sound design takes place in parallel during the final part of the production process and plays a major role in the audience experience.
Why should I see Making Magic?
Like everyone else, you’ve probably seen cool special effects in movies and games. In the show, you’ll journey into a world of digital effects and learn more about how they are created – especially the advanced mathematics behind them.
“It’s great that the film has received such positive feedback and several awards. I am proud and happy to have been involved. Thanks and congratulations to us all.”
