Wait, they're still printing movies O_o
I thought it was only stored on computer nowadays. This is sick !
I used to be a projectionist at an art house theater. We just did 16 mm prints. Just imagining this going wrong due to some threading issue and the film going everywhere is giving me anxiety.
I used to work as an IMAX projectionist and that has happened. The timings on those projectors are so precise. It’s traveling at about 6ft/sec so it doesn’t take long to make a mess.
Don't they send them on encrypted hard drives these days
It would be more inconvenient shipping that hunk of a thing compared to a hard drive
Then again it makes it easy for the movie to be leaked early by someone since it's not encrypted
It's a bit off an off-topic but, can someone explain me the difference between IMAX and iSense? I've googled it but don't fully understand it. How does iSense compare to this beast of an IMAX film reel for example? What about more standard IMAX theatres?
Thanks!
