      +anonymous95 I claim that post-production is still the main problem (regarding IMAX). (Of course it depends on the grain and the film sensitivity) IMAX is (as you mentioned before) about 18K.
      BUT (as far as I know / you can read that if you google) most of the post-production of IMAX movie films (such as documentaries) are done and rendered in 4K (!!, the film is scanned at 8K and downscaled to 4K) although they use 8K film recorders for (real) IMAX films.
      Even if you were able to do the post-production for example in 16K there would no film recorder (for movies, (for color slides there are some film recorders for even 32K)) to print the final film.
      BTW I still shoot pictures on analog color slide 35mm films (that's why I regret that most of Fuji's and all color slide Kodak films are / will be discontinued) AND I collect Super8 short films (most of them have great quality and colors)

    I'll never forget the first time I ever saw an Imax movie when I was seven. I was on a field trip at a science museum in Fort Worth Texas. I was waiting with my class outside the theater, looking at an exhibit on human pregnancy and what unborn babies look like. I thought that was pretty cool; little did I know what I was about to see ten minutes later! I didn't really know what was going on and I didn't even know that there was any kind of theater or that we were waiting to see a movie. (Nobody told me ahead of time.) So I was looking at the fetuses in the display case, and my teacher told all of us kids to come into this other room off to the side. I remember everything in the room was purple, the floor, ceiling, walls, the chairs, everything. I thought, what is this strange purple room? And then I looked up and realized it was a movie theater! (I'd been in a regular movie theater before.) But in this one, the seats were very tall and reclined back and towered above me, very high, almost as if they were placed on the side of a steep mountain. I kind of thought something to the effect of holy crap, this is going to be amazing! And it was. We saw a movie about the rain forest. When they showed the scenes from the vantage point of a boat going down a water fall, it felt like an amusement park ride. I think it was 1992 and we may have been some of the first people to go in that theater. I remember the woman who worked there said it was the largest movie screen either in the U.S, or maybe even the whole world at the time. Definitely something I'll never forget and the best thing about it was that it was a surprise. If you take a kid to an Imax movie, maybe try not telling them about it until one minute before you walk into the theater. Lifelong memory!

      In my country, Thailand, there is one IMAX theater with 15/70 projector here in Bangkok. It's located at Siam Paragon. The screen is 30m wide and 21m tall, currently the biggest IMAX in Thailand. They are now currently having twin 2K xenon digital and 15/70 GT3D IMAX projectors in their projection booth. I wish that, because of the 15/70 format advocacy of Christopher Nolan, they will keep their 15/70 projector, currently the only 15/70 projector in my country, in their projection booth once they replace their xenon digital projectors with twin 4K laser projectors designed for screen of that size in the future. I watched Dunkirk there in 15/70, and it was the best cinematic experience that I have ever experienced in my life. The screen filled almost my peripheral vision with the image from 70mm IMAX camera footage, along with massively powerful earth-shattering sound that complements that massive screen. :)

      At Australia, there is one IMAX theater with 15/70 projector, which is at Melbourne Museum. Their screen is 32m wide and 23m tall. It is currently the biggest IMAX screen in the world. They have both 4K twin laser and 15/70 GT3D IMAX projectors in their projection booth.

    I think that Christopher Nolan will shoot his next film "Tenet" with more IMAX 15/70mm film camera footage than any other films, because the trend of Nolan's filmmaking is to push to shoot more in IMAX 15/70mm film by developing more ways to operate such gigantic, heavy and noisy IMAX cameras in a manner that they haven't ever been to .....
    If that is true, I wish that it will be released in IMAX 15/70mm film again. Here in Thailand, we are still lucky that there is one IMAX theater here in Bangkok that has 15/70 IMAX film projector (and that is GT3D model; that particular theater is located at Siam Paragon), which is also the biggest IMAX screen here in my country, measuring 30m wide and 21m tall.

      Chayut Subtaweesin I agree! It’s kinda ironic and frustrating that we have had so much technological development and yet neglected to design new imax film cameras that are quieter and can operate for more than 20 minutes. Also the development of new 35mm projectors seems to have come to a stop, which will not help us keep film alive in theatres where they can’t afford to buy rare projectors.
      I’m a small filmmaker and I can’t wait to shoot a film on 35 or 65 mm film and have it shown on film. I’m kinda afraid that by then, all the theatres will have bought into the lie that digital is better completely.
      I’ve seen posts on reddit to email imax to have them re-release Dark Night and Interstellar on 15/70 film in 2024. I’ll email imax and also request that they do not destroy their proprietary imax projectors and stop making imax film.

    • @arthurserino2254
      @arthurserino2254 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      The digital image is flashed onto the final print along with the analogue images from the film. They also print digital and analogue soundtracks onto the final product, which the projector reads optically and sends to the surround sound decoders.

    • @drewwhitney1322
      @drewwhitney1322 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      American Cinematographer article reveals that they scanned the IMAX shots for vfx at 8k and the 35mm shots at 6k. Any shots that didn't require wire removal or manipulation were handled completely photo-chemically. Even the color timing was done the old-fashioned way, as opposed to the Digital Intermediate process. Nolan always edits his movies on film, not on the computer.

    • @arthurserino2254

      +Drew Whitney Every time you covert the film to digital and then back to analog, you lose not only acutance, but also the faithful color reproduction and contrast of high-end cinema film. It's easy to spot CGI in the theatre because it's pixelated and unnaturally lit compared to the live action images.

      I saw Interstellar in true blue IMAX. None of it looked like miniatures or animation. It was suspension of disbelief, something so rare! I didn't notice it, but I later discovered that they also used VistaVision blow-ups for some of the IMAX shots. The only scene changes I noticed were between the IMAX/VistaVision scenes and the comparatively course anamorphic 35mm.

      +Luap There is a noticeable difference in clarity. See The Dark Knight on bluray when it changes from filling up your screen to black borders. When it fills your screen that is imax footage, when it goes to black bars on the top and bottom that is 35mm... its almost like going from HD to SD.. almost... It is a very noticeable difference in clarity though.

      digital 32k cameras with projectors 70mm wont stand a chance in quality,
      Compare a digital 4K Laser projector with a 35mm projector result? 35mm

    • @arthurserino2254
      @arthurserino2254 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      No, the advantage of IMAX film over 35mm is greater sharpness, which will come through even on a small screen. A frame of 70mm film captures about 6-7 times as much data as a 35mm frame, and the cameras are fitted with optics to provide sharpness over the entire area of the frame. It's like the difference between a 35mm still photograph and a 6x7.

    • @arthurserino2254
      @arthurserino2254 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      "Much much more better?" It's not. A damaged or mishandled print won't look good, but 35mm movie film's resolution and color depth still blows any digital format out of the water. 4k is about 8 megapixels' worth of data per frame, with high compression. Newer high-res 35mm films have the resolution of 100-140 million dots per frame, with zero compression. Moviemakers and cinemas prefer digital because it's cheaper for them to operate, but you're still paying almost double the price for a movie ticket.
