ocean marine sea
Marine scientists predict that by 2050 there will be no more large fish left in the ocean if we don't change our relationship with the sea.
mind filmmaking satisfying
Satisfying myself is the point in filmmaking, in my mind.
jobs stories research
My job is to find the stories, find where to go, do the research, do the logistics, be there on location, and do as much as possible to get the footage that we need to make an incredible film.
waiting challenges cost
There are major challenges, when it comes to making a film in the Arctic. When you're filming wildlife and that wildlife doesn't necessarily take direction, you can spend a lot of time waiting, where you're debating whether or not you should press the record button because it costs a lot of money.
aquariums museums eight
What I love about IMAX is that, when you're in an IMAX theater, in a museum, science center or aquarium, it's eight stories tall and it's immersive, and you can see it in 3D, you really feel like you're being transported to that place.
audience brushing conserve faucet home knowing seeing simple toilet turning
My goal is that after seeing 'Grand Canyon,' every person in the audience will go home knowing they have to conserve water: even something as simple as installing a low-flow toilet or showerhead, or turning off the faucet while they're brushing their teeth.
growing love spent summers
I love the ocean; growing up around Laguna Beach, I spent my summers surfing, diving, and snorkeling.
audience element feature key
We have new tools that can give the audience a sense of not only being there, which is the key element in an IMAX film, but also seeing things in a way that they won't see on television or in feature films.
home life seen support travels
The ocean is our planet's life support system, yet in my travels and at home, I've seen its degradation firsthand.
controls last normal seconds shots specific thirty twenty
In a normal movie, the director controls what you look at. The shots don't last very long because you're getting the audience to look at specific things. An IMAX shot, on the other hand, can be twenty or thirty seconds long.
