Still thinking about the ocean this week.
Scenes from Great Barrier Reef remind us that some of the ocean’s greatest wonders aren’t the biggest animals—they’re the coral ecosystems that support an incredible diversity of life.

The ocean always has another story to tell. 🌊🐬 One of our favorite things about Call of the Dolphins is that every dolphin in the film was captured in the wild—no trained animals, no aquarium habitats, just real moments with these incredible creatures. 💙

These waters from our film Journey to the South Pacific are a reminder of why we never get tired of filming the ocean. The colors, the movement, the endless horizon—it has a way of making you stop and just take it all in. ✨ Not a bad view, if you ask us. 😍

Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊🐋
We could spend all day watching humpback whales and never get tired of it.
Today feels like the perfect excuse to appreciate the place that inspires so many of our films—and the amazing animals that call it home. 💙

Nothing wakes you up quite like a Grand Canyon rapid. 🌊😅 While filming Grand Canyon Adventure, the Colorado River gave our crew a front-row seat to the excitement, beauty, and power that have shaped this incredible landscape for millions of years 🚣♂️🏜️

POV: It's 100° in the Grand Canyon and someone says, "The water feels great." 💦😂 One second you're standing on a rock. The next, you're airborne over the Colorado River. Just another day of adventure while filming Grand Canyon Adventure. Would you jump? 👀

☀️ Summer is adventure season.
To film Grand Canyon Adventure, the MFF crew spent 15 days rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, transporting IMAX 3D cameras and gear through powerful rapids, extreme heat, and remote canyon terrain.

Watching Gerry Lopez surf Pipeline honestly feels unfair 🌊😮💨
While everyone else battled the wave, Gerry made it look effortless — earning the nickname “Mr. Pipeline.” Five Summer Stories captured those iconic rides right as Pipeline became legendary 🤙

Five Summer Stories was supposed to be Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman’s “one last surf film” before Hollywood 😅Instead, they spent months chasing swells across Hawaii and capturing Pipeline like never before. Catch Five Summer Stories at Bay Theatre this Friday, May 29 at 7PM

Imagine spending a year figuring out how to bolt an IMAX camera onto a fighter jet
For the film, we worked with the Blue Angels and Boeing to mount IMAX cameras on F/A-18s traveling 700 mph. After a year of engineering we got the first-ever IMAX exterior footage from a Hornet

Ready for takeoff ✈️🔥This Thursday, The Magic of Flight screens at the Rivian South Coast Theater!
From flying with the Blue Angels to mounting IMAX cameras on fighter jets, this film pushed every limit in the air and behind the lens 🎥

Behind the scenes of National Parks Adventure, riding slickrock outside Arches NP—endless sandstone “trails” and unreal views.
No rush, just wind, wheels, and wide-open space. Go take the long way 🚴♂️💚

Redwoods in National Parks Adventure feel like another world 🌲✨ Some of Earth’s biggest trees pushed the crew to get creative—using wire camera systems just to capture their scale. Slow, patient, unforgettable. Get outside this summer 🌿 #NationalParksAdventure

The film feels effortless, but it’s really patience, presence, and honoring place.
