Behind-The-Scenes Look

Check out this featurette that has just been released in time for the premiere of Astroid Hunters! It is a cool new behind the scenes look at the making of the film:

What is IMAX?

According to Wikipedia:

“When IMAX was introduced, it was a radical change in the movie-going experience. Viewers were treated to the scene of a gently-curved giant screen more than seven stories tall (75 feet (23 m), with the tallest measuring 117 feet (36 m)) and steep stadium seating that made for a visually immersive experience. This was enhanced by a sound system that was far superior to the audio at typical theaters in the years prior to the advent of THX. Some IMAX theaters have a hemispheric dome screen geometry, which can give the viewer an even more immersive feel. Over the decades since its introduction, IMAX evolved to include “3D stereoscopic films, introduced in January 1998, and then began to proliferate with a transition away from analog film into the digital era. Beginning in May 1991, a visceral dimension of the movie experience was added by having the audience’s seats mounted on a full-motion platform as an amusement park ride in IMAX ride film theaters.”

“Asteroid Hunters has been a real passion project for me and I am so happy to be working with IMAX to bring this very important topic to the forefront,” said producer/writer Phil Groves. “IMAX offers an immersive experience like no other and to have someone of Daisy Ridley’s caliber to help share our message is truly special.”

We are all happy and healthy, but it feels like we are finally emerging from protective shells. We are still locking ourselves down for the most part and recently added a “new to us” pop up pool to our backyard so we can spend more than 5 minutes outside without melting in the #Florida heat! (Thanks to @ctand.co for the fun pool gifts!) How are you all hanging in there?
