When working on a film for the Canada pavilion, Disney Imagineers decided that they wanted to use Circle Vision 360 to capture the various Canadian landscapes <ref name= "Jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2012/04/canada_pavilion_part_two_1.html </ref>. The Circle Vision 360 format was chosen, because the scope of the scenes (especially the Canadian wilderness) was so broad<ref name= "Jack"/>. It took director Bill Bosce and his filming crew of seven an aggregate of over two years to research, photograph and edit O'Canada <ref name= "handbook"> Canada Pavilion New Hire Handbook.: Walt Disney Productions, 1982. Print. </ref>. When Bosce was given the assignment to create a film for the Canada pavilion, he decided to take the perspective of one who had never been to Canada before <ref name= "handbook"/>. In order to get an idea of what to film, Bosce contacted the Canadian Government's Ministry of Tourism who refereed him to various provincial agencies<ref name= "handbook"/>. Shooting began in May of 1980, and continued on an off for the next two years<ref name= "handbook"/>. When discussing the filming schedule Bosche said:

After filming was complete, Disney had shot over 250,000 feet of film, which was then edited down to an 18 minute movie<ref name= "Jack"/>. Finally, the film opened as O’ Canada with the rest of the Canada pavilion on October 1, 1982.
