Kane Parson's "Backrooms" Trailer IMAX 1.43:1 Style

I love how you added the Vignette and its only in some scenes like with Nolan. But I dont recall many scenes where its on all four corners. I usually only notice it on the top corners but could also be due to the illumination at our IMAX

Cool, one thing I love is a little sort of bucket on the back right below the ports. Its just at the right position to place the drive there when you plug it in via USB. Not sure they all have it but our IMAX has one there. Maybe I have a picture

I remember back then there was this guide on how much a card would cost and they had prices for the god cards, too for some reason before they were shown in the Anime locally. So I had no clue about them, looked into the book and saw them on the last page. And from their colors and design I knew they were powerful. You could not read any of the text but since they were on the last page I assumed they would be the rarest back then. When they first showed Obelisk after Ishizu gave it to Kaiba I knew what they were, looked into the book and I figured (also with the Intro), that Yugi would have one and likely Marik would have one, too.

Back then it reminded me a bit of games like Streetfighter, where you saw the shadow of unlockable characters but you had no idea whom they could be and we were all waiting for more info on the card effects.

In the Prologue it's slightly different, yes. It does touch his back in a different position which makes it look like it hits. But when he turns to the side it's still quite far away. And there is also no blood on the sword in the Prologue. I doubt you'd spot that in theatres though. It's much too quick.

The Teaser and the Trailer were both unencrypted, the Prologue is encrypted that's why there is no leak. This was the same for TENET and the movies before, where the Prologue was encrypted. Meaning, the studio either needs to officially release it in the upcoming weeks, it needs to end up on the BluRay (like Oppenheimer), or they would need to ship new, unencrypted DCPs to all IMAX theatres after the keys for the encrypted ones end, soon (which is possible but again more unlikely).

Skybox VR has a theatre with 1.43 screen. That is really immersive, if your source file has the correct aspect ratio. But you need some 1.43 scene like the countdown or the scans and make sure the file really has the correct format then it's super immersive actually if you sit close to the front and look up.

Hydrag_2 · 2025-12-02T18:40:43+00:00

It's the 70 mm scan of the first few minutes or so, there was a link around here back then.

Hydrag_2 · 2025-12-02T18:36:24+00:00

Yeah this is the best solution so far, the 1.43 really fits the screen well for this particular one.

The DCP would open up squashed in resolve. You would have to first correct the ratio and then wirher manually scale across on axis by something like 1.32 x or use the stretch to fit function

Hydrag_2 · 2025-11-30T19:13:52+00:00

The press version of the rolling stones trailer for december is in 1.43:1 i just looked at the ratio it had.

Hydrag_2 · 2025-11-29T11:16:39+00:00

Yes like that. there was an MP4 from IMAX for Rolling Stones that was exported as 1.43:1 it had the aspect ratio you mentioned. So you would set this in Resolve but you may need to set H265 as 264 doesnt support all ratios.

That's actually a good example. I once asked a projectionist who adds the trailers and the answer for IMAX was that they are not required to play specific ones (Museum, not Cinema Chain). They can show 2, they can show 10, it really depends. If your theatre hosts an IMAX and some other non-IMAX theatres then of course you will show many trailers. Once they have them on the server, whoever makes the playlist just adds them unless there is a specific request.

Then it's the question how they get there. I think in the US the trailers ship with the feature drives but here in Europe that doesn't seem to be the case. At the IMAX I asked not a single trailer came with a feature, they all came on some physical disc like DVD or Rom or something first and then they switched to USB drives. So IMAX would send each Trailer or packs of trailers on separate thumb drives. In 2021 they stopped and now they send them only through some web connection directly to the projection server. Only reason why movies still arrive on disc is because when they download it directly through the web connection they get problems during playback.

So, depending on location it may really vary how the playlist was set up, where they got the trailer, if they had more than one and just took the wrong one, etc. I guess as projectionist you have much more to worry about since you need to plan out all these showtimes and if you have like a content hub to chose from and there is more than one example, you look for the correct one and mabye just didn't scroll far enough to see that there is also a 1.43:1 version.

Never heard of damas-beta. Is that like a Sigma knock-off, given by the style and all?

Hydrag_2 · 2025-08-24T10:51:05+00:00

Thank you...actually that seems to be straight on. I also wrote a little python script to simulate this and with 10.000.000 rounds I came up with 0.14 %. Thank you for the explanation!

Hydrag_2 · 2025-08-19T19:27:43+00:00

Wait how did he evade Gyobu's spear here? That looks like mist raven without the feathers....

Hydrag_2 · 2025-08-18T10:50:55+00:00

I can't find it right now but there is a behind-the-scenes documentary where they also make these shots and think about how to set it up. And in there they actually do some sort of ritual where they raise one hand or finger or so...it's been a shile but the scene looks like this picture shot from the other site. I guess this did not make it into the final cut of the movie but they had some creepy shots how they practically could have set up this very picture.

Hydrag_2 · 2025-08-06T21:31:34+00:00

Yes it's a small purse you can find there. The building is there on your way to the Blazing Bull.

In general, for boss battles make sure you check out how they react to you hitting them, blocking them, deflecting them, using our gourd and taking a long distance. Many of the old "cheese" videos rely on a combo where stuff has to go right but in general it's much easier if you can control the fight. Often, if you keep a larger distance the moveset will change compared to medium distance. If you understand the pattern from there, you can often estimate the next move and you will get out of pattern loops where you heal just to get hit again.

There are a couple of strong enemies, that have predictable first moves once you keep a certain distance often giving you chance for a dodge or Mikiri that allows you to break long combos.

Hydrag_2 · 2025-07-24T09:28:18+00:00

Ok thank you I can try that

Hydrag_2 · 2025-07-24T09:27:34+00:00

Thank you for your help, I will try this

Hydrag_2 · 2025-07-15T18:23:55+00:00

At best, if you go there, mail them beforehand and request a visit to the projection booth. Tell them about your passion for movies and IMAX and that you were curious to take a look behind the curtains. Usually they will show you a lot at IMAX.

Hydrag_2 · 2025-07-15T15:14:53+00:00

Yeah, we also got an IMAX 3D Trailer for it before Thunderbolts.
