Nice video, and to answer your final question; Nolan actually explained this. He said that Hardy can act really well using only his eyes. So he needed a pilot from which you can read his expression so he immediately thought of Tom Hardy

[@MetropolisPictures]

So many so called "analysis" videos on YT right now. This is one of the few that has actual valuable info. Great work.

[@wolfcrow]

Thanks!

[@MetropolisPictures]

wolfcrow You're welcome. 😀

[@JeraCravoMyself]

I watched "Interstellar" on film IMAX and "Dunkirk" on IMAX (not sure if it was film)... it's UNBEATABLE !

[@YCImaging]

Amazing breakdown

[@liamsilly]

Ayy Chrystopher my broo 🙏🏼

[@luckydhiman]

I think this is the best analysis video on YT for Dunkirk. Keep up the good work man!

[@eprom61]

I have always enjoyed your videos, and have seen large a number of them. But this analysis makes me want to go back and watch everything you have ever presented. Wonderful, absorbing presentation!

[@wolfcrow]

Thank you!

[@reijuernestkurian3146]

As usual, a brilliant discourse. Deepest respect.

[@kostasfassoulas6915]

Awesome video! The way you present Nolan's brilliant mind is great!

[@bl3731]

Again an amazing video by Wolfcrow !

[@deanaustin1806]

Wow. Makes you want to go to IMAX. Also you make me want a medium format camera like the Fuji GFX. And of course I must see Dunkirk now. Motivating you are. I will watch movies, life, with different eyes

[@zaddy6960]

You do a wonderful job of deconstructing what is happening on a technical level. I used to despise the square aspect ratio until I was watching a video on Grand Budapest Hotel. The cinematographer mentioned that instead of planning for wide, he had to plan for height, and then discussed the way they used height in the film. Since then, I don't mind.

[@itinerantentertainment4672]

Another great nerdtastic breakdown. Much appreciated!!

[@cryptotim9259]

I learnt a lot and your education has made the film more enjoyable post watching. Many thanks.

[@Benisyourfrien]

Thanks for the time on making this video, amazing work.

[@arnabmukhopadhyay]

Sareesh you are the Master. Please never stop making these Videos.

[@mahmoudAbuHELEL]

As always you the great one in cinematography

[@jamesruby6440]

Incredible. Thank you for taking the time 😍

[@truefilm1556]

Fantastic video! Well I was lucky enough to watch about half a dozen movies (all 50 minute short features at the time) in true IMAX in 2001 and 2002 (both 2D and 3D) on a huge screen the size of a football (soccer) field in my old home town Frankfurt before they switched to digital. It was all still photochemical (at least I think it was) since I spotted the typical imperfections like grain clumps, a VERY slight unevenness, flicker or lab marks on some prints (which very likely occured in the later release print stages - and I actually love these as long as they are not too distracting: they weren't at all, just tiny hints, making it all feel more organic and alive). The 70mm 15-perf horizontal prints basically looked like a (good) 35mm spherical print if you just concentrated on one small area, but of course surrounded by a huge area of the exact same film stock. Yes: you are losing the reference of where you actually are and the movie becomes your reality. The horizon (if in picture) on film even overrides your sense of orientation, which relies also on information from the inner ear. It's amazing when you find that out: our brain prioritizes the visual input: amazing! You can think I am making this up, but no: the experience is so immersive that your other senses (smell for example) seem to be triggered in a way, depending on the content. Absolutely amazing is when you have deep focus wide angle shots and you follow your peripheral vision: you can see the smallest details in the background (that's why real IMAX films are so re-watchable). Fantastic analysis of the shots and compositions as usual! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Will check your articles ASAP!

[@wolfcrow]

Thank you!

[@rodneyjohnson969]

As always a GREAT and super informative video!! Keep it up! These are MUCH appreciated!

[@wolfcrow]

Thanks!

[@srikanthn9782]

Fabulous analysis. Love it.

[@anandjaadhav]

thank you...thank you....thank you..for these kind of videos....you are doing a gr8 work by helping creatives..god bless you

[@andrelousada]

Curious thing about the music: Its inspired on a Enigma Variation (NIMROD) by Elgar but stretched so much that almost becomes unidentifiable. It is supposed to signify HOME! When he says home... its such an emotional moment for a classical musician!!!!

[@matthewjamesmiller]

Very nice breakdown! Good job!

[@DaveKatague]

I'm loving what you're doing man

[@m3rup3rv3rt]

Good one, man. I don't remember Dunkirk being so teal and orange. I think it was the feel of the film that stuck with me and washed this colour palette off.

[@balmofilms]

Thanks for the work you put on those videos :D

[@alexrmartin1421]

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing the tips. I will be sure to put them in my vids in the future!

[@glassjaw2007]

great analysis, you rock!

[@michaelmast_nomadicthrive]

What a great analysis!

[@microbroadcast]

Great insight. Thanks for posting.

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@wagnerteixeiradeaguiar]

Wish I could like this video 10 times! Thank you!

[@IgorDoval]

Amazing analysis! Keep going bro.. I'm a brazilian filmaker that can not afford to pay a film school. So I use videos like this to learn the filmmaking process! I've been watching a bunch of them and its really good, with some great analysis. Thank you, bro! Valeu!

[@M77USA]

Thank you! I have to watch it twice to get everithing you have explained!

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@sajkarthikeyan6711]

Great work. Waiting for more

[@gunnerysgthartman6124]

Love your work

[@ATVCREATIONS]

really worth my time❤️ expecting alot from you ✌️ happy new year brother✌️

[@ronin6327]

Love the film style, it reminds me of shooting on a Fujifilm x film simulations!

[@dx2327]

im prepping for FTII exam. this helped a lot. great work !

[@NimaRaoofi]

Great video Sareesh. Keep it up.

[@SpringSpark]

I've seen three last Nolan's movies in IMAX, because he is a director that can truly use this format. Thanks for the video.

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@gallery1334]

I watched Dunkirk twice in IMAX, and you feel the size from the opening shot itself. It was amazing both the Times.

[@AKSTUDIOUSA]

Amazing video man! Please continue! Thank you man!

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@jacobmullertv]

Super great work man !

[@JustinRomeyn]

Great tutorial! Definitely learned a few things

[@fotinique]

Great Video! I'm new to Cinematography and Filmmaking and I sure learned a lot from this video! Keep it up :D

[@carandmel]

Awesome. Ending was epic!! Subscribed.

[@wolfcrow]

Thank you!

[@aadityabhattacharya]

This is the first film that I watched in Imax the experience was overwhelming. Nolan have done something that old school filmmaker like Lean or Kurasawa would proud of

[@Ayersy303]

stunning Sareesh. I saw Dunkirk twice - both in IMAX in Melbourne and again in London (both still use their original projectors I'm pretty sure: i'm actually fairly certain Melbourne is one of the few in the world that bought back its projector after they sold it). I now have it on blu-ray and its still just as enthralling, but I do agree that its not as immersive. nothing can match the cinematic experience, especially when the audience feeds itself its an energy obtained from the film. thanks for another perfect video my friend!

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@ratneshagarwal9854]

Great work!

[@Dreamstripfilms]

Eyes wide shut and Dunkirk are two films that immerses audience into the film . I was fortunate to watch Dunkirk on very large screen , the visual , sound and narrative was haunting experience of war

[@stevyz]

Amazing video!

[@bilaljabbarka]

Incredible video !!!!! Thanks

[@nikhilm1060]

great video! i didn't watch the movie in IMAX. but it was still quite an immersive experience. it's the background score that got my attention i guess!

[@adityadevraj1985]

Lovely Analysis..!! Thanks..!!

[@adityar9383]

Loved it😍

[@rabindrasasmal7445]

beautiful video. I'm a beginner in cinematography and soon I'm going to enroll in a film school. Can you please suggest some literature and films where I can begin with !!! it'll be really helpful! thank you !:)

[@LumosbyDMLite]

These tips are great, thank you so much

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@scrutinizer8]

Great analysis :) thank you !

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@yinglam2607]

Thanks for sharing. Learnt a lot. I think the director and DP used the latest tech to tell story in an new way as Mr. Nolan always tried to achieve. And it was so impressive that I felt scared when i was watching it in cinema as the cinematography and sound were so 'real'. it is an new definition of HD tech in film/storytelling. P.S. I watched DCP 4K with Dolby Atmos.

[@arunvalluvan4624]

Great piece of information friend

[@giacomopandiani6290]

Awesome, thank you for this !

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@nicholasboule5134]

i got to see it in 70mm imax along with interstellar in 70mm imax because I live in Sacramento and they have the 70mm imax projector, it was amazing just to see the size of the film reel, which they have a window so you can see it. OMG it was so amazing

[@musiclfiles8024]

very interesting! :) very useful information!

[@FKfilmphotography]

Great

[@pavelpavlov8143]

Great one ,Sareesh.Cheers

[@video-China]

You’re welcome!

[@econsproduction2866]

hey Suresh! You always give us a good information! thanks for this another great analysis...

[@Thewakarmane]

Great work! 😍😍👌👌

[@KeirTheDouche]

That was the best possible ending there could have been for this video

[@jeruleasiatic]

Amazing work thank you

[@wolfcrow]

You’re welcome!

[@VariTimo]

The projection resolution of Laser IMAX is 4K. And many digital IMAX screens are 1.9:1 and many of them are only 2K. IMAX with Laser projection is the only other way to see an IMAX film in 1.43:1. But I’m not sure if your infos in resolution adds up. For that topic, Star Wars VIII DP Steve Yedlin did a resolution demo on his site YedlinDOTnet. Where he compares all relevant shooting formats and how resolution isn’t resolved with pixels. I highly encourage you to watch both parts of it since it will give a lot of inside into the different formats and the way images are resolved. For the record I flew from Germany to London to see Dunkirk in 70/15 IMAX.

[@PancakeLizard710]

This is very good information.

[@danielgebert4556]

Another great vid

[@wolfcrow]

Thanks!

[@bl3731]

Hey 👋! Can you please make a video about where to show one s film - like details on how to approach/ send to festivals etc ! Distribution is the big hurdle to surpass before even thinking about the production!

[@ina00203]

Amazing, You are my film school.

[@smchandrashekar3981]

great work :)

[@filmasdru]

Excelent video! By the way... 12:54 ...-"Being Tom, what he gets with just one eye is much more than what the actor can achieve with his whole body"- says Nolan. -"It's a unique talent, it's extraordinary "- Taken from an interview to the director!!!

[@Ryan.Lohman]

Nolan and Cameron really know how to frame shots and make you feel.....

[@cloudouterman]

thanks for uploading

[@lamecasuelas2]

Dunkirk is so good!

[@TripleTSingt]

I saw the movie in 2K DCP (there aren't a lot of IMAX cinemas in germany, I think there were 4 cinemas in all of germany showing Dunkirk in IMAX) and I really liked the aspect ratios. I think it's more dramatic, but it does make it a slightly different movie.

[@ViDhiHDEntertainment]

Probably the BEST FILM in terms of its consideration towards the ART ! ♥ CHRISTOPHER NOLAN-HOYTE VAN HOYTEMA-LEE SMITH-HANS ZIMMER ♥ These Guys have produced a MASTERPIECE ! Great Analysis Man !

[@govindt.s1184]

great job

[@charlesdroudun-moosmayr6583]

We have less than 20 IMAX projectors in France ... i've seen DUNKIRK in a litlle Cinema on a small screen, it was the DCP package.... It is one of the biggest regret i have about our common passion, the Cinema. I should have watched in IMAX ... Great video ! Congratulations !

[@wolfcrow]

Thank you!

[@nickfedyk]

Thank You for sharing!

[@mohammadsuliman6181]

great analysis, and I love the comment

[@skullzalliances]

Was lucky enough to be in London, watched it in Odeon IMAX 70mm projection!

[@rushiwaghmare2915]

nolan is not just a director .... he is a magician with an IMAX camera.

[@hemaswaroop7970]

Thanks for this video, Sareesh👍👍

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@sudeepthegreat1998]

thanks for such information..

[@VIDJACK]

I was fortunate enough to have seen Dunkirk in 70MM film and, yes, the word "immersive" best describes the experience. It's not about "hyper-realism" as some have mistakenly looked at it. It's, thankfully, not Peter Jackson doing 120 frames per second. No. It's cinematic. Anyway, thanks for providing me with several more reasons to understand why I enjoyed and was moved by the film. Always a brilliant analysis!

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!

[@pscraft1337]

Most comprehensive guide on IMAX vs S35 difference. Want more such analysis of movies and TV shows!

[@Photographicelements]

I often film on the RED Epic-W, (Super35 at 8k). I've noticed a huge difference in quality and clarity over the RED Epic Dragon (6k with a sensor similar to APS-H/1.3x from Full Frame). How does this fit into what you mentioned at 1:23? Just asking for more info..

[@AndreiVaida]

It was excellent.

[@derartas]

Nice video m8

[@himadrisikder2935]

Thank you

[@marcom.3554]

Is there a way to currently watch Dunkirk in the original IMAX 70mm film format, or at least in the original aspect ratio?

[@fernandosfjr]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@wolfcrow]

You're welcome!
