The camera is Canon Cinema Eos C500, and it’s marked with the IMAX logo. Is it the first IMAX-certified digital camera?

As the news arrived Thursday of the discovery of the Titan wreckage, cinematographer James Neihouse especially remembered his friend Hamish Harding, the billionaire businessman and explorer who was one of the five people on the sub, which disappeared on Sunday during a dive to Titanic.
They met during the making of 2020 documentary One More Orbit, which followed former NASA astronaut Col. Terry Virts and a team, including Harding, as they broke the ’round-the-world speed record for an aircraft flying over the North and South Poles, while celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Harding was a mission director as well as the doc’s exec producer. Neihouse, who served as director of photography, described Harding as “one of the driving forces” behind the project, having been instrumental in logistics, including securing the Gulfstream G650 ER jet that was used to break the record.
“We’re all just so broken-hearted over this,...

As retired NASA astronaut and International Space Station commander, Col. Terry Virts, watched Jeff Bezos’ space flight in Blue Origin’s New Shepard on Tuesday morning—on the 52nd anniversary of Apollo 11’s return to Earth—he envisioned how missions such as those from Bezos, Richard Branson and Elon Musk could contribute to new opportunities for scripted and unscripted filmmaking.
“I think the content that could be made is really exciting,” Virts, who during his time aboard the Iss filmed imagery for 2016 IMAX documentary A Beautiful Planet, told The Hollywood Reporter in advance of the Blue Origin launch.

"No margin for error." Vision Films has released the official trailer for a doc film titled One More Orbit, documenting the world-record-setting polar circumnavigation flight completed last year (more info here). A daring team of astronauts and aviators flew a high-speed Gulfstream jet around the earth faster than anyone ever has to set the pole-to-pole circumnavigation record - under 44 hours. Beginning their mission from the same spot Apollo 11 launched for the moon 50 years before, this tribute to the past, present, and future of space exploration breaks the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. The flight was completed by former astronaut Terry Virts (who directs the film) and Captain Hamish Harding. They collaborated with over 200 filmmakers, a Middle Eastern airline, NASA and satellite companies SatCom Direct and Inmarsat to provide a global livestream from the plane as it flew. Refueling in Kazakhstan, Mauritius and Chile, the caper sees the duo...
