HOLY MACKEREL — A blue shark and a school of Spanish mackerel chack out the glant under-
water 70mm camera. The first-ever underwater IMAX 3D film, director Howard Hall's Into The Deep,
\s an aquatic feast for the visual senses. It opens today at the CN IMAX Theatre at Canada Place.

PUSHING THE limits of film-
saaking technology, the under-
“water IMAX 3D film Into The
Deep .is a stunning (and sur-
rounding) junket for the sens-
OS.

“And yes you do wear big funny

"Should be new depths?) .

To film on the bulky and expen-

celluloid (weighing 50 Ibs. and cost-

“ing US$25,000 each), two IMAX

Hall could capture on film.

- “The whole unit.is'so loud and
large that we literally had to try and
sneak up on some of the larger crea-
tures,” the ‘director said following a
press screening on Tuesday.

This explains the film’s focus on
the seas’ smaller, less skittish inhab-
itants —- starfish, garabaldi fish,
sheep crab and spiny Jobster. But
given the 3D effect and. wrap-
