Dolphins is an IMAX documentary produced in 2000. Directed by Greg MacGillivray, this feature follows a few scientists studying dolphins (chiefly Kathleen Dudzinski, Dean Bernal, and Alejandro Acevedo-Gutiérrez, as well as Louis Herman and Bernd Wursig) as they work to learn more about dolphins. The main focus is on research into dolphin communication and intelligence, along with some exploration of feeding habits and human interaction. Several species of dolphins are shown, primarily the bottlenose dolphin, the dusky dolphin, and the Atlantic spotted dolphin. Dolphins is narrated by Pierce Brosnan with music by Sting.

Cinematographer Bob Talbot jumping in the water with the IMAX camera in an underwater housing. Nicknamed "Miss Piggy" by our camera crew for her 250 pount bulk, she was slid across the deck into the water or lifted by a crane when sliding was not possible. This camera holds 1000 feet of film and, when shot at high speed as we did here in the Bahamas, lasts for only 90 seconds.

Wild spotted dolphins can typically be found in most shallow Bahamian waters. Here they travel lazily on the bow wave of our camera boat exerting minimal effort to stay just ahead of us. As the subjects of ongoing research, frequent filming and Eco-tours, these dolphins have been accustomed to human presence since the 1960's.

These captive bottlenose dolphins spend much of their day teaching researchers here at Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal Lab about dolphin behavior. Play is a constant part of their lives and they often seize even the slightest chance to do so

Dr. Kathleen Dudzinski, the main scientist in the IMAX film Dolphins, uses her "array" to record dolphin behavior. A trio of hydrophones and a video camera in an underwater housing make up the "array", and allow her to record their vocalizations as well as their actions.
