Behind the Flames
"The fire in this film was the biggest forest fire in Ontario in nearly a decade, and the first big fire of a very active summer. Not since 1922 have forest fires claimed as much area in the province," said Science North Director of Large Format Films, David Lickley. "This was a massive fire, and we were very fortunate to be able to film at very close range, the kinds of air and ground work fire fighters do under extraordinary conditions. Filming Wildfires! was an amazing experience and we are honored to win the 2012 MFM award for Ontario Director of the Year."
Wildfires! A Firefighting Adventure in 4D is an immersive experience that uses 3D film techniques combined with motion seats and wind, water, scent and smoke effects to explore the science of fire behavior and firefighting. At the centre of the film are the courageous efforts of the stars of the show -- firefighters and pilots from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' Aviation, Forest Fire and Emergency Services section and the equipment and knowledge they use to battle this incredible force of nature. A variation of this film in 3D, complete with special effects, has also been installed at the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre in Sault Ste Marie, ON.
