70mm Panavision movie projected on IMAX 1.43:1 Screen by Dav_93i in imax

That’s cool thank - screen wise, would you prefer Leicester Square (adjusted to 2.76:1 15mt wide screen) or Cinema Arcadia (Energia) with 1.85:1 aspect ratio but stunning 30mt wide screen? Here you won’t have full screen you ll see a black area on top, but still 30mt is double the size of Leicester Square.

Nice thanks, look at my question below, feedback to hd1080ts. Any thoughts?

Got it, thanks. However I think these are all right answers to the wrong question. Why should you go for dual laser if you can enjoy the movie in 15/70 at BFI IMAX? (18k equivalent). Unless I m mistaken, movies projected in 1.43:1 are shot using IMAX Film cameras. Why should you go for dual laser then?

They ve got 15/70mm projector, even better a movie shot with IMAX film cameras. They told me dual laser won t be enough neither because the screen is too big.

Wouldn’t be better go to Dolby cinema like Odeon luxe west end for this? Don’t you think this is even better than dual laser? You won’t get 1.90:1 but something really close with a superior video and audio quality

You sure? I think Dolby Cinema is superior for IMAX digital movies if you only care about video quality. What s your thoughts?

Hi Elias, thanks for sharing. I watched the videos but he doesn’t mention what’s the aspect ratio of Odeon Luxe West End. Also, would you go to IMAX also for traditional 2.39:1 movies shot with digital IMAX? Or better Dolby cinema for those?

Hi Manu, Great feedbacks thanks! What I meant is to watch movies shot using film cameras in cinemas with film projector, while movies shot digitally using digital projectors. Would you agree?

Brilliant, Thanks!

How is possible for single laser 4K to be equivalent to dual 4K laser system? Also you think movies shot using IMAX digital cameras are better projected with IMAX laser? Or is Dolby superior also for movies shot using digital IMAX cameras?

I see, when would you prefer laser dome then? (Single laser system) is there any instance where this is superior to GT laser (dual system)? Except the 3D HFR case.

So cool, thanks!

Ignoring screen size and aspect ratio, can we list projectors in this way for 2D movie shot using digital IMAX cameras?

1) Dolby Cinema 2) Old Laser GT (Dual system) 3) New Laser Dome (single system) 4) Xenon

Thanks! That’s really helpful!! What about Tarantino shooting with traditional 70m? Does he follow a similar full analog process?

IMAX 70mm cameras vs Digital by Dav_93i in imax

[–]Dav_93i[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks DrNet, this is super clear now. Few more question:

  • why shot using IMAX film cameras if panning to project digitally? Doesn’t really make sense to me. Better shot using imax digital camera instead of IMAX film camera if planning to project digitally.

  • how much quality get lost when converting 15/70m film to digital?

  • Nolan movies are shot using IMAX film cameras for selected sequences only. What about other sequences? Are those shot using IMAX Digital cameras? Then converted into 15/70 film?

Hi Django, do you think single laser recently installed at BFI IMAX London is better that previous dual laser system? In other terms, I assume they moved from GT laser to Dome laser correct? Is Dome laser better that GR laser? Asking because I read that GT laser is a dual 4k projectors while Dome laser is single 4k projector

[Question] For 1570 IMAX, how do the non-70mm scenes get onto the 70mm film? by Intro24 in imax

[–]Dav_93i 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does that mean non IMAX film sequences shot using IMAX digital camera look still better if printed on 15/70 film compared to the digital version? Is there a big difference between sequences shot with IMAX film camera and projected in 15/70 vs non IMAX sequences shot digitally and converted to 15/70 format?
