I was just reading the BSC article about this (sorry, can't post a link, it's not on their site yet), and even though it was in the news before about this being the first film to use IMAX B&W 65mm, I haven't heard these details. Kodak created the film just for Nolan/Hoytema, and IMAX had to tweak the cameras to use it.

Shooting black-and-white on big format was easier said than done, however. "The problems were that black-and-white film for 65mm didn't exist. Kodak didn't produce it, and it didn't exist in the world. And so we had to ask Kodak to manufacture it for us. There's a lot of technical challenges with it. For instance, the fact that you cannot just easily run black-and-white film through a camera specifically made for colour, which all has to do with the thickness of the emulsion and the breakability of the material: It was a "time of experimentation", as van Hoytema puts it, as Kodak began sending prototype 65mm black-and-white film stock in sealed boxes to the Oppenheimer team. More was to follow. With the production using the IMAX MSM 9802 MKIII and MKIV cameras, the pressure plates used to hold the film inside each machine needed to be adjusted to accommodate this unique stock. "It was a slow process...even though everybody was excited about it. Nobody really needed convincing' says van Hoytema.

Initially, the traditional hair-and-make up tests were shot in black-and-white. Nolan and his close team projected the footage at IMAX AMC Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles. "We just realised that this is so special and so beautiful," says van Hoytema. Even then, there were still many issues to overcome. "I mean, the static in the film is different, the susceptibility to dust is different, the scratching of the negative occurs in different places, or the baths in the lab need to be agitated differently. Otherwise, you'll get fogging issues. Even though it sounds simple, it's not obvious at all...we had to keep a very keen eye on the whole process.

Any mention of a high speed camera in the article?

Sources revealed that one of the cameras Nolan and cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema used was a Photo-Sonics 35mm 4C high-speed rotary prism camera, which is capable of 2,500 frames per second.

Interesting! No, unfortunately they didn't mention it in the BSC article. They just focused on IMAX.

Need this in a double feature pack with Barbie for the proper experience.

BCS Issue 118 is out today. Got it in the mail.

About the explosion:



Enjoy.

Think ASC Magazine will be more detailed.

I’ll get this 4K!

No original mono?

None of Nolan's other UHD releases have it.

Why on one earth would any of Nolan films have mono anyway? When was the last time any modern film, even going back 25-30 years, used mono? Im pretty sure its been a while.

Why would anyone joke on a message forum?

It's just not done. This is current year.

[JRcanReid]

Sorry, I was just being stupid.

But I have my tickets for this flick!! (in Lie-Max no less)

[Fjodor2000]

If anything it's strange that a $100M blockbuster movie uses 6-track audio instead of Atmos or DTS:X nowadays according to the tech specs, which means 5.1 lossless on 4K BD.

But I think Nolan always goes for 5.1.

It was a "time of experimentation", as van Hoytema puts it, as Kodak began sending prototype 65mm black-and-white film stock in sealed boxes to the Oppenheimer team.

I'm pleased to hear that the crew at Kodak had the competence to seal the boxes before chucking them in the mail.

This is a Day 1 for me, whether I like the movie or not, although I think there is negligible chance I won't like this. I want to own all possible Nolan on UHD and I love all of the movies that have gotten a UHD!
