About the movie
Everything was filmed from a helicopter using an IMAX camera with a special lens capturing everything within a person's visual periphery, according to a news release from Disney.
The film is projected at 48 frames per second, twice the speed of normal motion picture film, to help keep a clear image with definition.
The company received a 4-hour window on various days from the Department of the Interior to shoot in what is usually restricted air space, like Yosemite National Park where governmental restrictions usually prohibit flying inside the park’s valley.
How the ride was conceived
The idea of how to show the ride was developed over the weekend at the at home Walt Disney Imagineering show/ride engineer Mark Summer.
“I think I’m like a lot of Imagineers where I don’t necessarily leave my job at the office,” Sumner said in the news release.
He pulled out a 40-year-old erector set from the attic and "over a couple of hours, I built a working model."
When he returned to the office on Monday he put it on the table and said: "Maybe we can do it like this."
The small erector set grew into a ride containing 1 million pounds of steel that is able to lift 37 tons.
