What was James Cameron thinking?!
Friday, November 20 by Julie Brown
"Jim, thirteen, fourteen years ago, had a dream where Pandora came to him..." Jon Landau, Producer.
Avatar was conceived more than a decade ago, but James Cameron's script sat in a drawer waiting for technology to catch up with his revolutionary cinematic vision. In 2005, Cameron embarked on a journey to bring the world of Pandora and its inhabitants to life, with the aid of brand new CGI technologies. After four years in the making, Avatar marks James Cameron's return to feature directing since 1997's Titanic, the highest grossing film of all time and winner of eleven Oscars® including Best Picture.

It's all part of a hard day at the office for nine-time world surfing champion, Kelly Slater, and the crew from Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D. Slater, and his big wave companion, Raimana Van Bastolaer, have recently completed principal photography for Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D and the first incredible images taken behind-the-scenes are in!
Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D was filmed in Tahiti using newly developed camera equipment that brings audiences into the heart of giant waves, capturing the energy and sounds familiar only to a handful of surfing's best.

Big screen? What’s the big deal?
Monday, November 9 by Mark Bretherton
With cinemas all trying to outdo each other with claims for the better cinema experience we thought it was time to revisit just what it is that makes the IMAX experience in Darling Harbour so special.
First up we have a pretty good claim – we have the world’s biggest cinema screen and that means we absolutely dwarf every other screen in Sydney (IMAX or otherwise). That’s great, but it wouldn’t be much of a claim if we couldn’t fill it with a high quality picture and we do that by being the only cinema in Sydney screening films using giant IMAX film that is of superb quality and resolution. It’s ten times bigger than your average cinema film size and of superb quality and resolution (and digital still has a very long way to come to get close to this sort of resolution!).
