McGillvary Freeman captured the footage of U.S. National Parks in true stereo to large format film
In 2019, Princeton Entertainment premiered America`s Wonders in Cincinnati, Ohio. Marking the first time, audiences had an opportunity to see striking LED 3D images while the orchestra performed music that guided them on a journey through 26 breathtaking national parks and 11 of America`s most exciting cities. After its groundbreaking debut, America`s Wonders traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah. Critics from the Utah Review and Front Row Reviewers identified America`s Wonders as an “exquisite piece of art”, “an artistic marvel of its own merits”, “a literal feast for the eyes and ears, unlike anything I have ever experienced”, and it “has to be seen to be believed.” In 2020-21 America`s Wonders will start touring, expecting to reach five continents.

new 3d technology
The amazing footage of America’s Wonders came from MacGillivray Freeman, major innovators in IMAX and true stereo moving imagery.
Delivering 3D to a concert hall sized audience over a live orchestra was impossible or impractical until the innovations of 3D-Live.
