My new Short Film, "Shadow Work," is out now; go check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=XgV9l1…

@theoneandonleu Yea.

@bolnabey what a stupid fucking statement

The emphasis on imax to me is the same as the emphasis on HDR. Films were not supposed to be "bright" and "sharp". Almost nothing on IMAX can compete with how expansive a David Lean film can feel. Immersion is technique, not equipment.

@monkey48339143 @Guy18Saw @i_zzzzzz Completely or buzzed? Big difference

@Guy18Saw @i_zzzzzz loved the movie but that doesn't mean we can't talk about how several key shots are completely out of focus and discuss what that means for the viability of IMAX as a format to shoot an entire film on

Nolan has fascinatingly low standards for focus pulling with these Imax cameras. There’s a rack shot in The Odyssey that had me in disbelief

@monkey48339143 @notdent_debeste Rt

@notdent_debeste it didn't look boring its just not stylized. lots of natural lighting and subtlety to the look i feel like a lot of people on filmtwit think "good" cinematography is showy lighting and loud colors when its usually the opposite, but i dont mean to put words in your mouth

Thank you Nolan for the important reminder that filming on celluloid cant stop your film from looking boring as hell

@jebrennt @DrDanTrujillo @isitshotonfilm Cap

@DrDanTrujillo @isitshotonfilm Well it is bullshit. You won’t see a difference to a Alexa 65 on a TV

Ryan Coogler's pilot episode for his series reboot of THE X-FILES for Hulu has been shot on 65mm film by Academy Award winner Autumn Durald Arkapaw. Starring Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler as leads with a supporting cast including Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi and Ben Foster.

#nowwatching The odyssey

@BurnishedAbbey @i_zzzzzz Peak

@i_zzzzzz Really emotional scene of Odysseus leaving by ship and he’s totally out of focus lol

@eriktweets @GentleDoofus Hell nah

@GentleDoofus Can't modern digital cameras and color grading simulate essentially any film "look" without any viewer able to tell the difference?

This seems like an, uh, expensive precedent to set, unless the plan is just to switch formats after the pilot.

@acidchicken55 @aakashgupta Flexed on

@aakashgupta lol this is not the flex you think it is. So what if 70 mm imax are packed, the rest of the world is going to see a down graded cut up movie.

Christopher Nolan's $250 million movie depends on one building in Burbank, 41 theaters worldwide, and roughly 90 people on Earth who know how to run the projector. The Odyssey is the first feature shot entirely on IMAX film, and FotoKem is the last lab anywhere that can make the 70mm prints. Every one of the thousands of cuts in the film was spliced by hand with a glue pot. The production burned through 2.1 million feet of negative, about 400 miles of film, and every foot of it flew back to that single lab for processing. Each finished print costs around $80,000 to make. One Las Vegas theater spent $32,000 on humidifiers just to keep its copy from drying out. Its projector had sat idle since Interstellar in 2014. Here's what the scarcity bought: when 70mm tickets went on sale a full year before release, 95% of seats sold within an hour. Retail price was $25 to $28. Resellers got $300 to $400. Presales have already broken the all-time IMAX record. Studios spent 20 years abandoning film because digital was cheaper to ship. Nolan kept the last lab alive and turned the bottleneck itself into the marketing. Thousands of rooms can play the 4K version. Only 41 can show the 18K version, and that gap is why people are crossing state lines for a movie ticket. The format Hollywood declared dead in 2010 is now the scarcest luxury good in entertainment.

@jeremylovesyall So much movie !

i'm very excited to check this out on a second viewing because it was hard to get a read on nolan's angle here up until the scene right before the climax. streets are saying the trojan horse is the new atomic bomb

@Knock1onheaven2 I remember they tried to stop them from filming there also

@Duhlorean98 Bad takes

The nuke moment is easily the weakest scene in Oppenheimer where it looks like a tiny gasoline explosion. I get that Nolan has an obsession with practicality but I wish the actual scene looked more like this clip. Should’ve used a CGI + archival footage approach.

@Eternal11th Let’s go

NOW WATCHING!!

@piscespari Cringe

no shade but this is what timothee was talking about when he compared film to the ballet and not wanting movies to be inaccessible the way opera and ballet has become overtime

@florapattinson I honestly love that they left a lot out of the trailers it seems!

@mealdealtruther Nope

fuck it, filming in a format that only ~40 cinemas across the world can fully display is anti-art

@RafaTheHuman_ Son

Imax é limitação cultural e ninguém pode mudar minha opinião

@Cakes_Comics Not true lol

Looks more epic in widescreen anyway. I said what I said.

@Disney02441228 @punishednuz Same

@punishednuz I had to do the Google

people get so angry on here when they run into a word they don't know lol

@doubtpointv2 Nah.

I know it's low on the list of our priorities as a society rn but something has to be done about this.

@jakelong64 It went from 30-40 from Oppenheimer and I believe the number of 35 and 70mm prints went from 100 to 250. There is multiple places in Arizona playing it in 35 and 70 now which is crazy compared to 2023. Capturing on this format also extends to digital imax which is great🤷🏻‍♂️
