George is a living legend of surf and cinematography.
His previous films ‘INNERMOST LIMITS’, CRYSTAL VOYAGER’and ‘ECHOES’ are widely regarded as masterpieces.

THIS is what a reporter visiting George Greenough said of his 1 minute viewing of a Rough Cut of ‘DOLPHIN GLIDE’:

“......a wave lit from within by emeraldic, flaming shafts of light slowly breaks on the screen from the perspective of a dolphin. The next wave rears up, I am mesmerized by individual water droplets, blood red, falling from the tube onto the face, when unbelievably into the frame comes a Dolphin SURFING. Surfing not swimming, and somehow George has the camera right there with it, at dawn, as the Dolphin rides its first wave of the day. It is a truly astonishing sight and it floors me with giant waves of emotion right in the guts. Why had no one prepared me for this? I’m laughing and hooting and somehow on the verge of tears all at the same time. “

‘DOLPHIN GLIDE’ was filmed by George Greenough over the last 5 years on 35mm film with his overcranked purpose-built Mitchell camera specially modified to be mounted at the front of his surf boat. On days of occasional clear water with good surf, George, waiting for just the right light and just the right moment, got shots of waves from underneath, most of them in slow motion -

George said he wanted to show what a dolphin might see.

Ocean waves, from underneath, sparkling, rushing, boiling, crashing, floating, weightless, bathed in shimmering silver-blue-green-gold coloured lights..
