![]() I wonder what kind of disability was it that would terrify these people. The event puzzled me at the time and since. Their caregivers directed them out of the theater. The shrieks were animalistic and blood-curdling. They stood up in a panic, and I could tell it was a small group of people with mental disabilities. Instantly a few young people – teens and early 20s – seated in front of us began screaming. It was astonishing, as if you were diving surrounded by thousands of colorful fishes. The show started with a submarine view of a large school of reef fish swirling around in a kind of 3D effect. The program was about the undersea world and the coral reef. I had one experience that was a bit shocking. I’ve seen a handful of IMAX shows and it’s very enjoyable. ** But possibly a non-problem since CGI is so clever now that sub-standard material can be upscale interpolated well enough to fool us the viewers. I assume this is difficult to achieve, especially at the new 60 fps 4k res standard. ** The bottleneck is a light, small, hi-res digital, wide angle recording camera that doesn’t need mega-bright lighting rigs to work right. Such as compression & decompression of digital files, but only having really high res where it matters such as fast moving parts of the image & bits that humans focus on such as faces. ** Digital IMAX isn’t up to the projection resolution of 70 mm film, but they’re fairly close using digital trickery I don’t understand that fools the eye/brain. ** IMAX is moving to dual laser projectors fed from a HDD medium – thus by definition digital These things I’ve read, but don’t know to be absolutely true: Nearly all films in the IMAX brand are 35 mm films scaled up to the IMAX format such as re-releases of 35 mm films like Jurassic Park. This means it’s difficult to record simultaneous sound, thus dialogue etc is often a separate job & I would suppose you need a foley artist team at the top of there game with coconut halves at the ready. Not one movie-length production has ever been filmed entirely in 70mm film – the cameras for such film recording are ridiculouly heavy, cumbersome & noisy. Nearly all 70mm films have a stage where they are converted from film to ‘digital intermediate’ & then back to film again! The digital intermediate stage is for editing. IMAX is a brand, it’s not tied to the use of 70mm film stock.
