Greg MacGillivray (born 1945) is a two-time Academy Award-nominated American IMAX film director and cinematographer. MacGillivray was first nominated for an Academy Award in 1995 for The Living Sea (Best Documentary Short Subject), and was nominated in the same category again for Dolphins in 2000.

He has initiated the development of three cameras for the IMAX format -- the high-speed (slow-motion) camera, the industry's first lightweight camera, and the "all-weather" camera used during filming on Mount Everest.

[edit] Trivia

In August 2005, MacGillivray was producing an upcoming documentary which examined the potential effects of a hurricane hitting New Orleans. By the end of the month, Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana and MacGillivray filmed the events rather than creating a hurricane simulation as he originally planned. ^[1]
