The crazy thing about the Dunkirk crash is that the footage actually ended up in the film! The put the camera mag in distilled water and shipped to FotoKem in LA where they developed the film. And because Nolan prints photochemically, the piece of film that was on the bottom of the sea for 1 1/2h was in direct contact with all of the 31 70mm IMAX prints shown in IMAX 70mm theaters.

The scene where the camera was destroyed in the dark knight made it into the final cut of the movie (sort of). It's in the chase scene in the tunnel and it cuts right before the truck or stunt car hits the camera but you can clearly see that the car/truck still has some momentum when it cuts.

Well the thing with IMAX cameras if you're unaware, is that you do not buy them, IMAX will not let you purchase one, they will let you rent one.

Christopher Nolan is doing this for the sake of art. If you compare the footages of Dunkirk and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk(Ang Lee shot this movie entire with digital camera), you will notice Dunkirk looks very surrealistic while Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk feels classical realism. The traditional film's odd colour palette, grain, noises and low framerate is what makes Nolan's movies so captivating.

[@mysticmarble94]

Oddly enough, I never liked the chosen IMAX color grading due to having too much of that characteristic Nolan dark green-blue tint. If you compare the raw IMAX film scan however you realise that this was definitely Nolan's fault 8:27. That short BTS IMAX footage alone has a much more natural color grading ( that at least IMO connects even better to the WW2 setting ).

Film cameras really dont have that much potential for improvement anymore, aside from the film itself, which can and is being used in an old camera as well. Of course you could always increase the film size even more, but that could have been done in the 60s as well and it would make the cameras completely impractical. If you want to see progression in camera technology, look at digital cameras.
