Sherpas in the Air

Prairies and big sky in Alberta Totems in Haida Gwaii The colourful vineyards in Okanagan Valley - Oliver, BC

You may have experienced or heard of Disneyland's "Soarin'", a visceral visitor attraction that takes you on an aerial journey through Cali's iconic locations. In Spring 2013, Vancouver gets it's very own ride of this kind: FlyOver Canada.

 

Imagine a soft padded hanging chair that virtually flies you across Canada in a gigantic spherical dome screen. From east to west, through seasons with wind, scents, mist and mind-blowing 21:1 surround sound. This journey becomes a reality in Spring 2013 in Vancouver's Canada Place - its one that you won't want to miss - and the Sherpas deliver the movie.

Filmed 100% from the air using a 65mm large format camera system, Sherpas attempt push the limits of aerial digital filmmaking and cutting edge projection technology. So far we have traveled to 14 different locations. From the far east gliding over Newfoundland's giant icebergs and Gros Morne, the mighty Niagara Falls in Ontario, flying west over the majestic Rocky Mountains and visiting the Haida on Haida Gwaii.  Canada is truly an amazing country, even as Canadians we're continuously blown away by idyllic scenery and lovely and helpful people everywhere. Our thanks go out all the helpers, small and large, along the way across this wonderful country that we call home.

 

Stay tuned for the FlyOver Canada teaser and behind the scenes edits - coming this fall.
