NASCAR

NASCAR (2004) The cars race by the more than 100,000 fans as the action gets underway in NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience. At speeds of up to 180 miles an hour, NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience provides a look into the heart-pumping experience of a NASCAR race and puts the audience behind the wheel of this preeminent sport. The drivers fight for position as they all try to be first to get the checkered flag and reach victory lane, as profiled in NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience. Capturing all of the behind-the-scenes action of race day in the garages, the filmmakers are able to provide an insider's look into what it takes to put on an event of this magnitude. Director Simon Wincer (far left) along with director of photography James Niehouse (second from right) and team evaluate a shot from the middle of the 33 degree bank turn. The IMAX®3D camera, one of only 3 in the world, is positioned at the top of the stands in order to provide an overall perspective of what itÕs like to be at a race with more than 100,000 NASCAR fans. Race day gets underway as the IMAX® 3D cameras capture all of the action at the track, providing audiences with an up-close look at the heart-pumping action. To catch the fast moving race cars, the production crew utilizes the Shotmaker, a sophisticated camera crane mounted on a truck platform which allows them to move, pan and truck with the action.
