I think starpause has the cleanest solution, however it fails when there is whitespaces in paths. This is fixed by setting IFS. The correct answer is therefore:

IFS=$'\n'
for i in $(find . -name '*.mov' ); 
do
    echo "$i"
done
unset IFS

You unset IFS in order to reset behaviour for IFS and as to why the $ is needed in IFS=$'\n', see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/184863/what-is-the-meaning-of-ifs-n-in-bash-scripting
