Wait, they're still printing movies O_o
I thought it was only stored on computer nowadays. This is sick !
No no, that is the hard drive!
This is hundreds of hard drives rolled up.
It looks kinda of floppy
I think the whole editing process is digital. They shoot on film, digitize it for editing and print it on film again for IMAX theaters.
This film was a film to film transfer, digital was only used for the digital version.
70mm film to be exact
They stopped distributing 35mm film to regular movie theaters in 2014. Only a few modern releases are printed in 70mm IMAX, and only a few IMAX theaters can still project it.
It’s practically useless for viewers. I had a friend who was a projectionist in a theater: they went digital and used both 1080 uncompressed or 4K uncompressed. He pointed me to the different formats when they were projected and we couldn’t tell from the seats. Not imax, just a regular theater with 300 something seats.
Only one place in the world can process the 70mm film used on Imax prints.
