SSC Interview - Michael Dalton-Smith - Volcanoes 3D: The Fires Of Creation

Ryan from the Saskatchewan Science Centre joins Michael Dalton Smith, writer, producer, director, and cinematographer of the IMAX movie Volcanoes 3D: The Fires of Creation.

Volcanoes 3D: The Fires of Creation is a tale of science, culture, and thrilling adventure. Earth is a planet born of fire. For billions of years, volcanoes have helped forge the world we know. From the continents to the air we breathe and even life itself, all have been shaped by volcanic energy. These processes have created extraordinary ecosystems and wildlife habitats. With over 500 active volcanoes, the Earth is bursting at the seams with these forces of mass construction. The story of volcanoes is the story of the planet’s creation and the story of us.

An adventurer and business owner with over 17 years of experience in film & television, Michael Dalton-Smith is a leader in the production of factual Canadian television programming. As owner of Digital Crossing Productions, Michael has directed, produced and acted as cinematographer of several TV series including Volcanic Odysseys, Kenya Wildlife Diaries, Nomads of the Serengeti, Ol Pejeta Diaries and Ultimate Africa, which have aired on networks including Smithsonian, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. Michael is also a leader in the technical aspects of film-making, and he is on The Giant Screen Association’s Technical Committee, advising and presenting to peers interested in best technical practices for IMAX® and Giant Screen films and the future of film-making. Michael is a passionate activist for wildlife conservation and has filmed in some of the most remote and challenging places in the world.
