Threading The Dark Knight as part of a worldwide Roadshow. We were one of 6 or 7 in the world showing all the three on IMAX 15/70mm Film. I have ran these before upon the initial release except for Begins. I never ran Begins on IMAX, only 35mm. #70mmfilm #darkknighttrilogyimax70mm

I used to be an Imax projectionist years back and it becomes routine but what used to get the adrenaline running was running two projectors in sync when showing a 3D film in 70mm. Sometimes, you'd get drift resulting in a visual echo, that's if the computer running Windows NT got a glitch and then you'd have to stop the show and resync both projectors AND sound which was a bitch of a job because the clock is running. If the next show runs late as a result, all the others will so sometimes you just had to cancel that show. The projectors used 7k xenon lamps and you had to wear full protective gear to change the lamp as they were very volatile if still hot. One guy in France lost his face when the lamp exploded, I heard. To get the projectionist job in an Imax theatre, we preferred no experience to hiring a 35mm projectionist as they could be set with bad habits. It was a great job. Imax film is the only film that runs horizontally through the projector and each frame is momentarily static against the aperture. That hissing sound is the air used to suck the loop of film against the glass when it meets the aperture. Because Imax film pays out from the centre of the circular hub, the worst nightmare was seeing it spiral down to the floor overnight when you came in in the morning as we used to stick the tail with tape. Our Imax theatre was a circular dome screen, not that common but it closed about 18 years ago. Great while it lasted, though.

That's really cool. I ran 3D too back in the day, but with the GT projector. Alot of work. Before IMAX I was 35mm projectionist and then I was good friends with the district trainer so he aloud me the opportunity to learn IMAX. The training was very grueling. Lots of practice. Took me a couple of weeks to get it, but a couple of years to master it. Now I am really comfortable with IMAX and very nervous around 35mm because all 35mm is archival and can easily be overlooked because of size when threading up.

Cool story. Three panel Cinerama in the 1950's had a fourth 35 mm projector standing by to show a special reel on the center panel just in case there was a film break in one of three projectors. They would play the special reel to keep the audience entertained while they fixed the problem.

Certainly impressive, but just from a purely factual point of view - this system design is built upon all the work done by many different individuals designing film movie cameras since the concept was initially conceived over a hundred years ago. So many different individuals would have contributed the incremental developments along the way with their film movie camera designs and i would say this is just a combination of all of those individuals' work but in a larger format.

When I went to see Oppenheimer in 70mm, the range of a difference was clear to me. While yes digital is cheaper to run for movie theaters, film is where you find the places that care about their presentation. I watched it in digital and while an impressive film, I thought the practical effects looked awful and nothing special. In 70mm, you saw the entire color to it. The shaded blacks and the bleeding oranges in the nuke was something special. Film needs to come back. Digital is ruining films and the viewer experience watching them as it's cheaper and lazier to show. They need to get people in there who care about films to get these things right.

Мне повезло родиться, когда у нас в поселке и в соседнем городе уже не было кинотеатров - все развалилось. Фильмов в 35mm формате я уже не успел посмотреть. А IMAX 15/70mm в России просто не существовало, на сколько я знаю. А теперь и этот формат уходит в историю, так что можно сказать кино в действительно хорошем качестве я так и не посмотрел. Хотя в свое время практически запустил киноустановку в нашем ДК, не успел так как забрали служить, а потом - ДК уже был закрыт нафиг. Увлечение кинотехникой осталось с тех пор, а вот вживую посмотреть негде - везде осталась только "цифра". А Вы - в моем понимании счастливый человек - сами получаете позитив от работы и дарите его другим)

IMAX started going digital on a large scale starting in 2009, 2011 you saw the already film IMAX theaters convert to digital and 2015 it went digital on a full global scale. There are only a handful of film IMAX theaters left, but all are museums or aquariums.after the digital switch, Nolan has been shooting, distributing and exhibiting his movies on as many IMAX film available theaters. The more films he has made in post digital have decreased the amount of theaters that will run film.

So far, IMAX is a film format only. IMAX film has a resolution of about 12K-18K, and digital needs to match that or at least get close (and by close, I mean 8K minimum) to truly be considered IMAX. So far, cinema projection doesn't go above 4K, so there is no such thing as digital IMAX yet. Any theater bearing the IMAX name and using digital projection is a scam, commonly known as LIEmax.

If he doesn't shoot the entire film in IMAX, but still screens it in IMAX will we get that jarring experience when shots go from 35mm widescreen to full screen.

The IMAX Digital is almost like IMAX 15/70MM, Digital IMAX does look great, but i still prefer the film because it feels and looks more alive.

@@the80sdiehard Well, if this is true, I really regret this because there are several movies shot partially or entirely with IMAX cameras on 70mm film, not just Nolan films.

@@marekriebmann1495 ita strange. They shot plenty of big films with IMAX 70mm but it's always very little amount in those films. In the past few years some of them have had actual Film releases, but very small. Nolan is the only one to get serious pull and have in his contract up to 50 plus Film Sites for his stuff. It is super expensive to maintain and hire people to run it. Let alone shooting, developing and distribute it. The only IMAX film releases that IMAX will hire and contract for are always Nolan.

Films shot to IMAX film in camera need scanning, a digital intermediate making, CGI adding then a print made from that. I'd love to see an IMAX print being made, even though I know it's fundamentally the same as any other film print. Sadly many films in 4K don't have 4K-native DIs or 4K CGI, they're upscaled with film grain sometimes added. A few Blu-ray review sites have details of the resolutions of intermediates and final prints. I'd hope films intended for IMAX have suitably high resolution CGI resolutions.

Brianbribri 007 LOTR would definitely break IMAX if it was shot on film as it is longer than Interstellar and IMAX had to develop special platters that weighed 600 pounds loaded. Normal Interstellar credits faded in and out however because the platters were fully loaded, IMAX changed the credits to roll and not fade in and out. If an Interstellar print ran $80K than an LOTR would neighborhood around $90K I’d imagine.
