Having worked for IMAX as a DMR artist, I can tell you that the very first film not shot on IMAX but converted to the IMAX format was "Spiderman 3" (2007). My brother, who was an executive at IMAX at the time this occurred, approached Sam Raimi to convince him to have his film converted to IMAX. Sam Raimi gave IMAX about 20 minutes from "Spiderman 3" to work with. Apparently, at the end of the screening of that converted section Sam Raimi was so excited that he was able to convince the production company to increase the budget to convert "Spiderman 3" completely to IMAX. Since then, IMAX has converted many films shot conventionally to the IMAX format. IMAX is actually more popular in China than anywhere else. As of December 31, 2020, China has well over 750 IMAX screens. Which is the most IMAX screens of any other country, including the US.There are more than 1,500 IMAX screens around the world.
I never saw any of that written down so thanks for the info! That’s really interesting though, so would you say on something like Dune which they shot digitally, they converted it onto a 70mm projection to show in 1.43:1?
@@AngusDaviesDP Dune wasn't released on 70mm. It was digital only. 1.43:1 presentation required dual laser setup (aka Grand Theater). There were like half a dozen venues the USA that could show it that way.
Actually, Spider-Man 2 was also converted to IMAX format, despite not being shot on IMAX. The first feature film that was converted to IMAX format but not shot on it, was Apollo 13. The film was shortened to fit the limited length of the IMAX platters and the aspect ratio was expanded (not cropped) to 1.66:1 from its 35mm negative. A DVD was released of this IMAX version which was cropped down to 1.78:1.
@utthapa Correct! I have no idea what All Things Film1 is talking about... I've seen Apollo 13 in IMAX when it was first released and Spiderman 2 in IMAX on a date with a woman I would eventually marry...
Im so freaking happy that Oppenheimer will release on film and that I actually have the only theatre in Europe (excluding the UK) that will be showing it in 70mm right in my city (Prague). Never experienced IMAX 70mm before so I'm really looking forward to it, even digital is blowing my mind (SpiderVerse was absolute visual p*rn in IMAX).

@@baIIshevik I'll paste a chef's kiss review by some random gentleman Steve Brown on the internet: The most overblown tosh I’ve seen in years. An hysterical orgy of jump cuts almost designed to obscure the narrative. Endless shots of obsessive indecipherable scrawling on blackboards. Constant employment of that most irritating and hackneyed device, deep discussion on the move. Fabulously distracting use of flashes of fire, electricity, explosions and splitting of the atom throughout: random and unilluminating. Who are these characters? What are their relationships? Up pops the usually dependable Florence Pugh replaced as love interest moments later by Emily Blunt, also a habitually strong turn. By turns black and white and colour, the narrative felt wilfully confusing. Tom Conti’s hammy Einstein was a welcome relief from the endless parade of indistinguishable scientists in suits storming in and out of different, ill explained rooms. Matt Damon exploded occasionally over nothing more than the requirement to provide drama. Awful dramatic music, completely unconnected to the pace of events depicted, signalled an extraordinary event at any moment. These failed to materialise. Nuclear fission is a fairly complex concept for all but the experts I would suggest. This film did nothing to illuminate it for a wider audience. Tricksy, shallow and 3 frikkin hours of it. We ran out half way through to conduct a successful dry martini experiment at home.
I find open matte (1.78:1) to be my favourite happy medium. I have a somewhat rarer Alliance blu-ray release of SEVEN that's open matte. It's gorgeous. Fincher crops all his films in post. The IMAX scenes from The Dark Knight on the 4K release switch to 1.78 and they also look stellar (same with INTERSTELLAR). I just wish more filmmakers would release open matte's. I worked as a projectionist for a few summers in high school and got to thread a few IMAX shows. The film size is INSANE and the whole process was like being at NASA.
It's a great midground, Ah cool! I really need to see Se7en again actually. All of Nolan's films look incredible at home as well, open matte would be a really nice touch on home releases, but I can't see anyone apart from Arrow or maybe Criterion doing that if they even got the permission of the filmmaker. Ah cool! I've heard it's absolutely massive, I've held a bit of a 70mm print of 2001, and that was huge, can't even begin to imagine the size of IMAX.
@@AngusDaviesDP one of the many great things about PRISONERS is it’s 1.85:1 - if you want a fun rabbit hole there’s a whole underground open matte collection market because majority of slightly older films have open matte releases for cable TV, hotels, and airplanes.
Watched dune part 2 in IMAX. I gotta tell you, it was awe inspiring, amazing.... during the sandworms scene, whole theatre was shaking and I felt it in my chest
Loved the format of this video. Going from reading the title of the video to straight away getting the very bare bone answer is actually great. No intro no here’s who I am here’s what I’m going to be talking about. None of it. Straight into the content and let it and your research speak for itself. Lovely
keep rewinding to your intro... love how you just answer our question cus we all can read the title. so simple yet something i found super creative. love it!
I never realised digital large format cameras aren't the same ratio, huh. Great video :) I kinda love the centre framing. IMAX shots tend to feel the same as shots composed in Academy Ratio. I guess they're pretty close.
Don't know why everyone gets hung up by the aspect ratio, I mean you could just crop the sides of any camera and get the exact same ratio as IMAX. To bad that ratio doesn't look THAT good, but people have started to like it just because they get swept away by IMAX marketing I guess.
@@gurratell7326LOL, no. Any camera can shoot 4:3 but the image quality, depth of field and colors of Imax 70mm is beyond anything any digital camera can shoot, even tye best digital cameras like Alexa 65
IMAX is the only thing that has gotten me out to the theatre this century. Back when we had tube televisions, I was impressed by the image quality of any theatre. Now that we have these fancy hi-res monitors, the regular theatre has just lost a lot of appeal - although I still do like their sound systems.
Thanks! Before the video ended I got online and spent a little over $13,000 on a Blackmagic ursa mini 12k….. now it’s time to do re-shoots on my short film “Tars Origins” it’s a short story I am directing, producing and financing myself, and is an origins story about Tars from Interstellar and what gave him the personality he had in that fantastic movie. My mother is a veteran from the Marine Corps (Like Tars) and I am using real Marines that I have at my disposal to give the film a more lifelike experience. Lots of work to be done and unfortunately I will have to use some CGI which to be frank is not cheap. Also trying to replicate Tars (practically) in real life is much easier said than done lol. I would love to shoot on 70 mm IMAX film but this camera will be the next best thing for now. I saw Interstellar in full frame 70 mm IMAX film and still to this day I have never ever experienced anything quite like it, except for when I saw Tenet and Dunkirk in IMAX 70 mm film, but Interstellar was the one that blew my mind and inspired me on this long journey to create somewhat of a spinoff of my favorite movie. Although quite expensive I think it will be well worth it in the long run. Even though I put a dent in my wallet thank you for this video as my camera not being in IMAX was definitely setting me back at least $13,000 later I may be that much closer to perfection. I’m quite sure that is the least of my expenses as I will need much more to get that camera properly shooting. Again thank you and great video! Keep up the good work!
Dune shot digitally, and had 1.43 scenes. Maybe the first movie to do that with digital. It was amazing in a true imax theater. Universal city walk iMax.
@@AngusDaviesDP a few months later, eternals did it also, with the scenes containing the celestial and Gemma chan. it blew up to the entire 1.43 screen at universal city walk. I don't think they did the converting to film process as dune did, straight digital, 1.43 7 story glory.
@@AngusDaviesDP no it's all digital. To fit in the frame size of the digital container they use something like anamorphic lenses on then projectors. It stretches the image height from 1.9:1 to 1.43:1. it's in place the whole movie, so the short aspect ratio scenes are are also squished. It's not used on 1.90 or 2.35 only presentations. (So technical the shorter scenes are at a lower resolution when show this way than on a 1.90 maximum system.
I saw "Battle Los Angeles" (2011) in 3D IMAX. It was impressive for about 30 seconds. The 3D was meh, and I've seen better 3D images on a Viewmaster 3D still viewer in the 1950's. (Dialogue? What's that?)
@@a_cowwithlegs That's what was available, at the time. An old college friend was jazzed about going to see this wondrous display tech. As a photographer, I was not impressed. It's a rah-rah movie with a thin alien invasion story and Pentagon toys on display. Since he was ex-Air Force, it was his kind of movie.
sounds like as if it wasnt film but the digital dual laser projectors to archieve 3D? Those only go up to 4K, so nothing comparable to an actual film projector@@Otokichi786
It’s nothing bigger than more info per frame, which is totally fine and as an art form is appreciated and necessary….the problem is that you can’t appreciate such said art when you steam it from your television at home with whatever life distractions
I think there’s some confusion here around digital resolution vs the size of the film negative/sensor. The appeal in shooting on a larger format is the expanded frame and seeing beyond the full frame standard focal length of lens, while retaining the same depth of field, compression and distortion of the lens.
IMAX enhanced is a thing but it's limited to special streaming releases like the stuff on Disney plus and also some physical blu ray or 4k collectors edition releases. Very hard to come by for sure tho
it's been years since i watched anything in IMAX and tbh i, glad it's not used too much, as much as i hate black bars on a 16:9 screen i forget they are even there after 10 mins but with a video on YT covering my entire screen i know there is a border somewhere.
Well, I enjoyed the video. I am not sure you answered your original question because I still don’t know what IMAX is. Is it just the format? The 1.43 x 1?
The Ursa 12K actually isn't large format, it's a wide-screen 17:9 super 35 sensor in there. It just has a high pixel count. This often leads to confusion. The actual pixel resolution of digital IMAX is between 4.5K and 8K.
Yep! Just watched IMAX for the first time watching Oppenheimer. It was a great experience but the sound was way too much. The loud noise did not make me feel immersed
Keeping the perspective distortion due to focal length constant (let’s say shooting at 50mm focal length), since the image on 70mm imax film is 10x the size of s35 film, one would tend to shoot it more close to the subject for keeping them of the similar size on the overall image. Btw, amazing content you’re making! Kudos!
It all depends on the aperture they shoot at, stopped down a lot and it can be the exact same as pulling focus on a m43 camera even. And also, having characters closer to the camera will make it even harder to pull focus since the DoF will be shorter, so your comment contradicts it self :)
Why have you left out two very important people in the creation of the IMAX camera, namely Ron Jones and my father Valentine Temple. My father was the engineer who made this camera possible from Brisbane Australia.
Has anyone ever used IMAX film with an anamorphic lens.... and slapped on an anamorphic de-squeezing lens on an IMAX projector? Not sure that's even possible but it would be interesting to know if anyone has done that.
hey, great video🙏 really enjoyed it! One thing I always asked myself is, how do edit film especially imax film, i know there are arri scanner that can scan up to 8k to a digital file but is this how it works? the film getting digital and back to film again for true imax cinemas? Cant really find an answer for that so if you understand what I mean and make a video about it pleeease keep me posted!🙏 tag me if I miss it🥴 pls
No. A wide angle is the larger focal length which causes a bend in the picture. To understand it well, you should grab a camera with a 70mm focal length lens and then with both eyes open see the difference between the two! one with bare eyes and the other one trow the lens! the reason that I said 70 is because it's the same realistic picture trow the lens that is exactly what our eyes will see! when you see it you will notice that the pictures are the same but the one trow the lens is limited by height and width! IMAX shows you a wider and bigger point of view! when you tested that, change the lens to 125 instead of 70, and then you notice the difference between wide angle (larger focal length) and bigger and wider view (IMAX)
@angus I was really curious about what is imax, but after like 1 minute watching it, I stopped the video. Moving background is a nice idea, but making the whole video really hard to watch (my eyes hurts). I though instead of dislike I would give you a feedback :) cheers
@@AngusDaviesDP I knew it looked familiar haven't seen it since it first came out now I think it's due for a rewatch. Thanks also your channel super dope 👍🏾
That hot sauce line gets more grating the more I hear it. The perfect horrible combination of bored delivery, shitty writing and horrible comedic instincts.
@@AngusDaviesDP You mean for your video or as a filmmaking technique to transition from a dialogue scene to a fight scene? If it's the former, I was not at all criticizing your choice to include it at all, merely commenting on it on it's own. It's just a really bad line! If it's the latter, I'd be interested if you wish to elaborate.
I think it's overused a lot at the moment, but I it's hard to deny that a true 1.43:1 laser print isn't one of the best ways to watch a film. Just a shame so few films are shot on it.
@@AngusDaviesDP I think a well told story will still engross the viewer when it's projected onto a nappy from a smart phone. But that notion would kill the industry that controls how we view art in a day.

Greatest intro of all time
Characters being closer to the camera could perhaps be due to the IMAX shallow depth of field and difficulty in pulling correct focus?
Perhaps, Until I talk to someone who's actually shot in it, I'll just be speculating, but I imagine it is hard to pull focus at that level.
It all depends on the aperture they shoot at, stopped down a lot and it can be the exact same as pulling focus on a m43 camera even. And also, having characters closer to the camera will make it even harder to pull focus since the DoF will be shorter, so your comment contradicts it self :)

What’s the name of the movie with the people robbing the bank in the city in the background footage of the video?
So imax allows for a broader picture but without the rounded edges you would have on a normal film with a wide angle …?
No. A wide angle is the larger focal length which causes a bend in the picture. To understand it well, you should grab a camera with a 70mm focal length lens and then with both eyes open see the difference between the two! one with bare eyes and the other one trow the lens! the reason that I said 70 is because it's the same realistic picture trow the lens that is exactly what our eyes will see! when you see it you will notice that the pictures are the same but the one trow the lens is limited by height and width!

In theory, couldn't we make a regular film projector size bigger?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am yet to come across a video explaining IMAX which explains what the millimetre actually means
Please make a content solely on Interstellar.
where are those batman scenes from??
Snyder cut
Oppenheimer will be my first experience with IMAX.
0:30 is this Tom Cruise? What movie?
Yes that is Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible: ghost protocol
Please… darkscreen backgrounds… the white!! My eyes!!!
IMAX is my kryptonite.
Strange the Hateful Eight was filmed on 70mm
I see a question in thimbnail and I get the answer in the first 3 seconds so I comment hoping that the algorithm will push you to surface.
Nice video👌👌
Oppenheimer took me here.
What movie is at 0:48?
First Man,
I’m yet to see it, but it looks amazing!
@@AngusDaviesDP I knew it looked familiar haven't seen it since it first came out now I think it's due for a rewatch. Thanks also your channel super dope 👍🏾
Thanks!
Founded in 1967 while my country only has one imax theathre
cool
Well maybe Nolan and imax film are made for each other. Balancing the universe
Cool
Different types of film developing process
IMAX is awesome
Imax cameras are very costly
That hot sauce line gets more grating the more I hear it. The perfect horrible combination of bored delivery, shitty writing and horrible comedic instincts.
Haha, I get that, but it’s an easy way to transition.
@@AngusDaviesDP You mean for your video or as a filmmaking technique to transition from a dialogue scene to a fight scene?
If it's the former, I was not at all criticizing your choice to include it at all, merely commenting on it on it's own. It's just a really bad line!
If it's the latter, I'd be interested if you wish to elaborate.
Just for the video! I do it with a ton of clips, and this just happened to be the one I used in this video.
It is a really cringe line though...
Bmc 12k is Only super35
True, but it is still an IMAX capable camera and films shot on it are technically Shot In IMAX (according to a list of IMAX certified cameras)
Horrific sound.
Oled > IMAX
Can you please fix/remove this ASMR voice of yours. This is so difficult to understand. No comprehension, honestly.
Great information mate. But surely you see the irony ruining your own video with silly flashy subs dead centre of the screen 😅

STOP INCLUDING FOOTAGE FROM BVS🤦♂️. You know what’s funny? Joss Whedon’s Justice League is a much better film
It's a load of shite, flogged to get people out of their Netflix seat before cinemas die.
I think it's overused a lot at the moment, but I it's hard to deny that a true 1.43:1 laser print isn't one of the best ways to watch a film. Just a shame so few films are shot on it.
@@AngusDaviesDP I think a well told story will still engross the viewer when it's projected onto a nappy from a smart phone. But that notion would kill the industry that controls how we view art in a day.
Oh 100%, I mean we see that with Unsane and Tangerine, shot on iPhone's, but were incredible of bringing audiences in.
Thanks for this amazing video!!! Get to the top fast = Promo-SM!
