<p>Watermelon Magic, the world’s first Giant Screen (IMAX) film about food production and healthy eating is coming to a theater near you. As the first Giant Screen film ever made about plants, food, and our connection to the earth, it was specifically designed with younger viewers in mind. It is also the first Giant Screen film ever made with Spring Garden Pictures’ innovative still-film technique, according to a press release.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><iframe width="480" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/-GWdpaguj7Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Filmed with the Canon 5D, the movie employs a unique rhythm and pace akin to an animated film than a traditional live action fiction. By depicting humans in shutter-burst staccato motion and plants in the typical 24 frames per second standard, the audience’s perception of time is turned on its head, allowing viewers to see that plants are just as alive as people, according to the film’s website.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Created for theaters at science centers and museums, this burst of color, soaring original music, and astonishing time-lapse imagery was constructed entirely of still frames with over 200,000 pictures, according to a press release. In the story, young mischievous Sylvie grows a patch of watermelons on her dad’s farm and experiences the magical journey from seed to fruit.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/68774513" width="480" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Be sure to watch this truly unique experience in theaters!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://springgardenpictures.org" target="_new"> Watermelon Magic </a> </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
