From award-winning director and eclipse chaser Sébastien Gauthier
6 minutes of Anticipation, Wonder and Eclipse Magic
“This film is incredibly realistic, accurate, and moving! For six minutes, the audience in Strasbourg was literally glued to the screen, as if they were witnessing the eclipse live.”
Why Total ?
To inspire your audience to one day experience a real total solar eclipse

“Wow, that was amazing!
When’s the next one?
I really want to see it”
“This fulldome piece brought back so many memories. It felt just like the eclipse I saw in 1999 — as if it were yesterday”
Why 6 minutes?
This short film focuses on the anticipation and the extraordinary surge of energy during a total solar eclipse. Total does not explain the mechanics of the event — your team does that best. Instead, it delivers the emotion, the immensity, and the unforgettable impact of the eclipse, something that is nearly impossible to communicate otherwise.
“The eclipse was so beautiful in the film — and the energy, wow! I’ve always wanted to see a solar eclipse but never could. Thank you for sharing this with me.”
