The Making of Mysteries of the Great Lakes
As with all giant screen productions, creativity is key when attempting to capture the ideal shot. While shooting Niagara Falls for Mysteries of the Great Lakes, an IMAX camera was suspended out over the edge of the Falls on a remote-controlled crane. In Lake Superior, the crew used a flat rock that was a hundred feet off shore and submerged under four feet of water to anchor the tripod before carefully attaching the camera to it in order to get a shot that would do justice to the 400-year old native pictographs on a cliff face.
These are only a few of the behind-the-scenes events that went into the making of Mysteries of the Great Lakes. There are many more stories to be shared by the film’s director, and film footage that shows the majestic beauty of the Great Lakes region and the wildlife that inhabit it. |
