Christopher Nolan is not a director, he is a movie scientist. He knows precisely how to target our emotional and visual senses to make his films feel immersive and realistic, and to handle a film reel of one of his movies, must be an honour, because its come directly from the camera, and the physical process to make an imax film is unrivalled
This was a very interesting video, typically videos showing the process of projecting IMAX film are just timelapses, but going in depth and explaining what needs to be done in order to project the film is great.
Wow, what an incredibly enlightening and detailed video! As someone living in Germany, I've traveled to the UK four times this year alone to catch the 15/70mm IMAX re-screenings of Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and this month's Batman trilogy. It's fascinating to see how the classic 70mm film projection process works, especially for such iconic movies. Dunkirk, with its extensive use of the finely-grained Kodak Vision3 50D 5203 negative film, stood out particularly for its exquisite detail. The meticulous preparation that goes into lacing the projector, checking the sound system, and ensuring everything runs smoothly is truly impressive. And learning about the role of the xenon lamps in the projector, their water-cooling system, and how they're filled with xenon gas under high pressure, was especially intriguing. Keep up the great work, bored_tech! I'm eagerly looking forward to reaching the 3000 subscriber milestone and to seeing more of these insightful videos in the future. Subscribed and liked!
Hey! es scheint noch so einen Verrückten zu geben wie mich :) Ich bin extra nur für die BFI Nolan IMAX Vorstellungen 2 mal dieses Jahr nach London geflogen (gerade gestern zurückgekommen). Hatte 10 Jahre darauf gewartet :) Bin aus München, lass uns gerne mal connecten! Viele Grüße!
@@mixdown78 Hallo, Schön, Sie kennenzulernen, wie soll ich Sie kennenlernen, WhatsApp oder Twitter? Das wird mit einer Übersetzungssoftware übersetzt, also entschuldigen Sie bitte mein schlechtes Deutsch.
I want IMAX Film Cell, Germany, Munich Coincidentally, I was visiting IMAX Science Museum a few days ago on 12th June, and luckily met Matt there! As a die hard 1570 Fan, i was given an interesting Update on the current 1570 Situation there. I just appreciate everyone immensely for their efforts on managing the 1570 System, the ultimate pinnacle of Cinema. Thank you for the Video and support for the 15/70mm Format too, Matt mentioned you. Bye!
I got to see interstellar at the BFI imax back on a trip back in april of this year and I honestly have a massive amount of respect for these projectionists. If I were in their position I would be freaked out by how valuable the film is. Seeing this movie in 70mm imax film left me speechless and was easily the best moviegoing experience I ever had. I want an Imax film cell, Adelaide, Australia. Cheers.
Definitely the best video sharing how imax 70mm projection room works! Your VO helps a lot in understanding the procedures, great job! If you can make a newer video about Nolan's Oppenheimer projection on both imax 70mm and imax laser, that would be amazing!!
i just saw Dune Part 2 at the IMAX Ronson theatre. Oh my goodness, what an experience it was. I loved the feeling of being dwarfed by the screen, the crystal clear imagery, the fact the audio was so booming I could feel my seat vibrating/ It was so immersive, and itn felt like I was looking into a window of another world and it felt so palpable and real, texture and light came across so well in IMAX
I have seen IMAX Projector Lacing videos before too, and every single time, I am equally fascinated seeing the whole process. Credit goes to Christopher Nolan for still keeping this glorious tech alive. We used to have 4 IMAX 70mm venues in India, but sadly today there are none! I'd love to experience this at least once in my life before it goes extinct from the whole planet. I Want IMAX Film Cell. India, Varanasi.
First: I want IMAX film cell! United States, York, Pennsylvania. Second: What great production quality in your videos. I was able to tour the projection booth at the Cinemark IMAX in Tulsa, Oklahoma several years ago. The manager described the process of lacing (I believe he called it "threading"), but actually seeing it, and in such detail, is a real treat. Thank you for your work on this!
First: Thank you for the entry! Second: Can you imagine that this video was shot on iPhone 13 and DJI Pocket II 🤘😎. Correct, some people call it "Threading" others call it "Lacing". And thanks for you feed back, really appreciate it.
This is way more work and thought put into something i never thought about than i would ever have imagined. And yes, Nolan is Nolan, but this quite literally is an art in itself
I've just been binge watching your videos and I can't believe you have so few subscribers - I feel like one of the lucky early viewers of a channel that is bound to be huge one day! Such fantastic production quality and fascinating content, you'll go far I'm sure. I want IMAX film cell! London, UK
This is the video I wanted to see for years! In depth explanation of how IMAX system runs from a non-projectionist pov. I visited the IMAX projection booth in Ontario Place once and was astound by the scale of IMAX systems. Hope to see more of IMAX topics!! (it'd be super cool if you can visit the Canadian headquarter some time!) I also want the film cell haha, I'm in the UK so hopefully Royal mail can reach me.
Cannot believe how interestingly complex this process is. Would definitely love to see one of these booths in person one day... but booked my 70mm Oppenheimer tickets earlier, so certainly excited for that at least! Thanks for the wonderful video too. I want an IMAX Film Cell if the giveaway is still going on, England, UK. Thanks!
Watching through your vids gives me a crazy amount of appreciation for what actually happens when I'm sitting down to watch an IMAX film - just thinking about all the prep and everything that could go wrong makes the film seem even more epic now! I want an IMAX Film Cell - Australia, Sydney
I always find videos of anything IMAX 70MM quite fascinating and fun. Honestly speaking I could watch these projectors working on for hours. And of course, "I want IMAX film cell, India".
Thanks for showing us how IMAX film projection system works. This is easily the most detailed video on IMAX one could find on RU-vid. Great work ! I want IMAX film cell, India, Thanjavur, TN.
This is an exceptional insight into how IMAX film reels are loaded. I've only seen one 70mm film IMAX, and that was at the London Science Museum, and I now have a greater appreciation for the work involved.
I'll be flying all the way to Melbourne just to watch the IMAX 15/70 Film for the first time in my life. I don't think I'll be able to obtain one of these there, but it'll be an unforgettable experience! IMAX IS BELIEVING! I Want IMAX Film Cell, Singapore, Singapore
Looking to watch Oppenheimer and I think I'm now convinced to go watch it at the science museum now. Not far from my house also. I want IMAX Film Cell United Kingdom, London
This is the kind of channels that I love to stumble upon, I've never seen such simple but detailed explanation on the videos I've binge out so far. Awesome content! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼I want IMAX film cell! Taichung, Taiwan
A few years ago, I thought all movies were made like this then, I found out how they were projected digitally and realized how dumb I was to possibly think that, it is very inefficient to roll the reel and how impractical it would be to actually make movies like this now. After watching lotta videos about IMAX, and how the magic actually lies in the physical frames containing more data than the current cameras could process is actually boggling and fascinating to think so, Thank you for showing everyone what's going on behind the scenes and the staff handling them, haven't seen any other video out there showing the actual process of putting together the frames, really informative. I want an IMAX film, Kerala, India.
This is such an incredible process! I love watching movies on IMAX 70mm film and will always go out of my way to watch a movie in that format when available. I live in New York where we have the AMC Lincoln Square IMAX and it is always an incredible experience. I will be seeing Oppenheimer in that format this Thursday night. Great video! I Want IMAX Film Cell United States, New York
I Want IMAX Film Cell United Kingdom, London Love how all your videos never miss the fine details, yet remain entertaining and are able to immerse audiences including myself. Keep it up!
Finally I found a video that giving me detailed information on how IMAX film projected. Great video! and YES, I Want IMAX Film Cell. I'm from Indonesia, Jakarta 🇮🇩.
"I want IMAX Film Cell" - India🇮🇳, Kerala. Ur videos are uniquely mesmerising. Only few youtube channels talk about this kind of stuff..Keep rock brother. Sadly there are no 70MM IMAX screens in india😢
My father once worked as a movie projectionist in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Sometimes he would cut out a frame from a roll as a souvenir. I think he worked with classical 35 mm type systems around the time they introduced the platters instead of one roll on top and bottom.
I guess the lamp reached it’s 1000th hour during the showing of Oppenheimer I was in 😢. At least we got refunds, and did manage to see most of it (which looked amazing)
Great to see people getting up into the IMAX booths. I myself do standard 35 and 70mm projection videos, but never IMAX, so seeing this video of yours has made my day! great video my friend! I want IMAX film cell, Australia, Sydney. Have a great day!
Yes! I want IMAX Film Cell. Germany, Walzbachtal Also super excited to see Oppenheimer on monday. Sadly we only have a full screen size laser theater close to me but I think that’s going to still be close to the original. But this video really makes one appreciate all the work that goes on behind the scenes with real film! Thanks for such an amazing video.
I have always wondered on how this actually worked and you explained it beautifully!! Thank you so much for that!! Also that IMAX cell seems pretty cool. I from a small city called Kochi, Kerala, India.
Absolutely fascinating to see what happens behind the scenes. We take so much for granted in our lives; knowing how things are done that we normally don't see is just amazing. Thank you so much. And if the giveaway is still going: I want IMAX film cell. Australia, Melbourne. (I definitely want to see Oppenheimer at the IMAX theatre here - the only one in the southern hemisphere showing it in the 70mm print form.)
That is a great video! When i visited London some years ago i went at the Science Museum IMAX & BFI Imax and it was an amazing experience! I want IMAX film cell Greece, Athens !
Bumped into your videos after researching the best way to watch Oppenheimer. So excited the Science Museum is still showing 70mm film! Very cool to see the actual film spool being assembled that I will go watch, got my tickets already! I Want IMAX Film Cell United Kingdom, London
It is simply astonishing how this works. Unfortunately I'm very far from any 70mm projection, but just by seeing this video I felt my heart warmer. 😆 There are fantastic directors working with digital nowadays, Pedro Costa to give an example, but Nolan must be praised for his commitment with film. Thank you for this incredible video and channel. God bless. If I still can participate: I want IMAX film cell! Brazil, Cláudio (MG)
This was the video.I was waiting for! So nice to see such a detailed step by step. Love this whole analogue process, thanks for sharing ;) And yes: I Want IMAX Film Cell Venezuela, Caracas
Saw this after the more recent Oppenheimer IMAX behind the scenes. The two bodies together were fascinating. Thank you for doing this work! If the film segment giveaway is still on then Yes, I want an IMAX Film Cell, I’m in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the USA
They also upgraded to having dual laser IMAX last year as well, saw Dune with the lasers and it was amazing. They were less than a handful of places to get Force awakens and Last Jedi in IMAX 70mm print.
@@InsightfulUndercurrents Yes they closed the Ronson Theatre to move everything around to install the laser IMAX alongside the 70mm shortly after I saw Apollo 11: First Steps there (on 70mm film IMAX of course).
that's so nostalgic (yet new) and exciting for recalling how IMAX 70mm projection works! only 70mm celluloid film brings true and genuine IMAX experiences. so very miss them as I can no longer experience it in Hong Kong, as the IMAX film system is no longer exist after renovation of HK Space Museum IMAX theater! (btw, Hong Kong was once have a 70mm IMAX commercial venue, and luckily i watched two of the IMAX 3D documentaries there! that blew my mind! but i regret that i didn't watch Dark Knight there.) hope these film projection demonstration videos can allow everyone to remember how celluloid 70mm film can bring the magic! I want an IMAX Film Cell if the giveaway is still going on, Hong Kong. Thanks!
Another cool video would be a 70mm IMAX dome. The way the projector rises to position leads to a very interesting film path. I've seen it in person, through tinted glass, but an in depth video would be great. I want IMAX film cell. USA, Huntsville, AL
Very fascinating. I was able to see a film in IMAX for the first time a few years ago and I was smiling the whole way through because I’d never seen anything else like it. Unfortunately the mall that the screen is in is almost abandoned, so I’m not sure if it will be around much longer. I want IMAX Film Cell - New Zealand, Auckland
So cool to see the process! I saw Interstellar at the BFI IMAX 70mm in London when it premiered. Took a trip from Sweden pretty much just for that, worth it! :-) and of course I want the IMAX film cell, Sweden, Stockholm! :-D
Nice run down and well edited presentation. Friend of the family use to run a digital IMAX (aka. LiMAX) and we got to watch a movie from the booth. Not the best way to watch a movie, but it was done more for the cool factor. I want an IMAX Film Cell. Vacaville, CA, USA.
That was a super cool video. Looking forward to seeing Oppenheimer this week in 70mm. Thanks for sharing! Not sure if I'm too late but.. I want IMAX Film Cell, Canada, Calgary
I'm getting pumped for the IMAX Oppenheimer and this content was really in depth and your video quality was really detailed. Thank you. I want IMAX film cell Melbourne, Australia
Amazing content. I’d love to know how they colour grade imax film, or if it’s done in a lab chemically, or in a computer then reformatted back to film. I have gone back to using colour film for taking photographs rather than digital snaps, and it’s amazing the clarity you get out of it. I love the analogue world!
Hello, today only I bumped into your channel and must say that my thirst to know about the IMAX tech is getting quenched by watching your videos. I really appreciate the efforts you are putting to enlightened your viewers about this amazing technology. I want to experience a real IMAX film but unfortunately here in India we dont yave any 15/70mm Imax theatres. I want the IMAX film cell. India, Nagpur city. Thanks and regards.
Wow this video is amazing. This channel is very underrated. Glad I found this channel. I would love to hold an IMAX film so I'll drop a separate comment for that 😅
When I worked as a projectionist running 15/70 systems, we had to move the platters by hand, as in two guys lifting the platter... it was a little ridiculous. Fortunately we didn't run feature length films.
wow, such an interesting process to set the projector up. I wonder if eventually more filmmakers will push the industry to use this format, the cost of filming are so high. I want the IMAX film cell, Germany - berlin
Fantastic video, im actually getting an opportunity to poke my head in the booth on opening night of Oppenheimer for a 70mm IMAX showing and i am deliriously excited I'd also love to enter for an IMAX film cell for Dunkirk - San Diego, United States
I always want to watch 70mm Imax. These are incredible videos. I am very surprised by your subscriber count. Hopefully it increases very quickly. I Want IMAX Film Cell Dublin, Ireland.
Really enjoyable video. I hope cinema experiences like this never stop. I recently saw Interstellar in 15/70 and it was the best cinema experience of my life. Keep up the great content. I Want IMAX Film Cell United Kindom, Cambridge
I doubt I win this but I do want a the 70mm flim here in Mumbai, India as there no true 70mm imax theater by which I can tell everyone look I have the 70mm before the theaters. Haha
Super interesting process. Will be witnessing my first 70mm IMAX screening soon if everything goes well! Can't wait. I want IMAX Film Cell, Germany, Hamburg
i want a imax film cell. I am a former projectionist that ran 35mm film. I would like a imax film cell to show my grandchild what film has envolved to.
Keep it up! I know I asked before but I hope they will allow you to tour The Prince Charles sometime, such a different end of the spectrum of film on film than IMAX 15:70 but still just as interesting "I want IMAX Film Cell, United Kingdom, London"
Thank you for your entry! The Prince Charles Cinema is on my list. I also have a good news for you. I have already filmed Cineworld Super Screen in Greenwich and BFI IMAX. Just need some time to finish the editing.
interesting that they don't have a LFE channel, but still use a crossover to send the low effects to what's basically a subwoofer on each channel. obviously this set up doesn't make since for home theater's because very few people will have 7 sub woofers, I have 2 and I'm ahead of 99% of set ups.
Such an interesting video. I want to be a movie director someday, hopefully I can learn more about filming with 70mm! I want IMAX film cell, US Omaha, Nebraska
I Want IMAX Film Cell Canada, Calgary. Please let me have it. I'll do everything I can to have one of those 70mm film since I'm an avid tech enthusiast and a rookie videographer/photographer. Nice video btw.
There is more than enough room for a soundtrack on IMAX 70 mm film. At 11:55, just look at how much wasted space there is beyond the sprocket holes. Historically that space would be used by 4 channels of magnetic soundtrack. A digital encoding could easily fit multiple channels of audio in that space optically. Smaller film formats manage to do it. But it's easier and less expensive to get audio from a disc or hard drive than from film.
I don't know if will it reach me, but as an INDIAN fan, I want it too! I want an IMAX film cell. Pune, Maharashtra, India. #IMAXIsMyLife I am glad that I discovered your channel.
