Friday, July 19, 1991 - 1 0 IM A X c a m e ra s o f th e c a p tu re T ita n ic w re c k They have been described as "breathtaking'The first rushes of film from the wreck of the Titanic, taken by IMAX cameras, have been viewed and the Canadian-SovietAmerican mission deemed "a success." `The IMAX cameras alone have shot more than 38,000 feet of film and the first rush es are breathtaking," says Andre Picard, Vice-President of Filtn for IMAX. "Director Stephen Low, who has dived three times, describes the wreck of the famous ship as both beautiful and awe-inspiring." Two more dives with the IMAX camera are scheduled. The state-of-the-art lighting system allows for a laiger area of the Titanic to be illuminated, enabling bigger and better images, says Low. Stephen Blasco, a scientist with the Bedford. Institute of Oceanography and the Geological Survey of Canada, and the expedition's chief scientist, says that the Titanic is corroding at a much faster rate than was-expect^d. "There are huge icicles of rust hanging doWn from all over the bow and rivers of rust floating away from the wreck on to the sea bed." The IMAX film about the Tiianic^is scheduled for release in the fall of 1992.
