I can’t believe the pinned comment by the RUclipsr has 14 likes 😂
Lmao, they still sponsor to this day?
@@aether3697 People accept it because they get paid a lot, also Raid is p2w ( I played it)
Nope it's trash
Nolan is one of very few people who can just wreck an IMAX Camera and still get them for his next project
Pretty much haha. Honestly I don't think IMAX even cares because it's good marketing for them from Nolan.
Nobody knew about IMAX before Nolan
nolan is pretty much their single greatest marketing asset regarding IMAX cameras and thus the IMAX cinema experience. They probably provide him with an endless supply.
Of course he can. No one else is using them.
money
I suppose if you're willing to pay for them to be replaced, you can destroy as many IMAX cameras as you like.
Just need to leave enough to still make the rest of the movie lol
I agree with that. If you are as ambitioned as Nolan and believe its worth the risk and can ensure you are able to cover potential damage - feel free to take the risk. If everything turns out working, you might end up with an amazing shot.
Lol sure, if you’re fine with then waiting like 3 months for a new one to be built
@@bolttracks I'd assume this is why Chris Nolan uses several of them so it doesnt impact production as badly in case he breaks one of them once again.
They can be displayed in museum in the future. “IMAX camera destroyed by Christopher Nolan”
The crazy thing about the Dunkirk crash is that the footage actually ended up in the film!
The put the camera mag in distilled water and shipped to FotoKem in LA where they developed the film. And because Nolan prints photochemically, the piece of film that was on the bottom of the sea for 1 1/2h was in direct contact with all of the 31 70mm IMAX prints shown in IMAX 70mm theaters.
Yep! Such a cool process chemically that they were able to do that

"We really are treating an IMAX cammera like a gopro camrea" this sentence is the greatest string of words to be conceived by a film maker
The scene where the camera was destroyed in the dark knight made it into the final cut of the movie (sort of).
It's in the chase scene in the tunnel and it cuts right before the truck or stunt car hits the camera but you can clearly see that the car/truck still has some momentum when it cuts.
Yeah someone shared the link. I looked for a while but just couldn't locate it 😅
@@FrameVoyager I just looked at the scene on Netflix, I believe it's at 1:17.50 right after the batmobile gets hit by the rpg. The truck moves towards the camera for just a second. I think that's the one.
Great video by the way dude :)

By the way, he didn’t actually crash a plane for Dunkirk. It was just a model - probably not cheap to make but certainly cheaper than an actual plane. Not to mention crashing precious historical crafts would be totally unacceptable.
Oh for sure. People would have been really upset at that haha
@@FrameVoyager Oh they were lol. There was a rumor he crashed a vintage plane and people were upset

I love at 0:45 where van Hoytema struggles to carry this gigantic camera because he wants to have a handheld shot, it looks so impractical.
#DoItForTheShot
it's only a compressed vertebrae. He'll walk it off. :D
@@CNC-Time-Lapse 💀💀💀
I was a service engineer for Flir Systems for a number of years working on their highest tier science and military cameras. Some of those were also in the multi million dollar price range and occasionally we'd get one in for repairs that were absolute wrecks lol. You'd just stare at it, scratch your chin and nip out for an extended lunch to calm your nerves.
I disagree that with digital it would have all been lost, because they could put the media into an isolation enclosure that could literally drop down the bottom of the ocean if they wanted to. Film is FAR more subject to environmental damage than digital media when proper precautions are taken.
no
@@pilsplease7561 I'll bite. What do you mean, "no?"
I was going to say the exact same thing, a SSD could be inside an aviation standard black box and would be completely safe from the elements and forces generated by the crash. It's just Hoytema waxing philosophically about film being superior to digital. In 5 years time, we will have digital cinema cameras that will have better resolution and dynamic range than 15/70 film. The Achtel 9x7 already achieves near 15/70 film quality, although it hasn't been used for shooting a movie with yet.
@@Stuntman175 not even remotely true
@@pilsplease7561 Ok.
Went to repair my IMAX camera today. Played Shadow Legends at the waiting lobby.
10/10 would do it again.
😏
I really hope to see more cinematographers using real IMAX film and just film in general going forward, it's such a fantastic medium
Yes, I alsp hope every cinematographer suddenly get filthy rich
it's extremely expensive and logistically difficult. The filmrole for Oppenheimer is several miles long. I don't think it would pay to film with IMAX unless your movie would really really profit from it
Digital cameras are so good these days, its really kinda pointless.
With all the IMAX cameras Christopher Nolan destroys he'll probably need a Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship
"If it were digital the footage would be lost"
Yeah....except waterproof digital camera systems exist.
But what about longevity, tape is still the most time resilient medium
@@GiJoe94 Maybe from pure time, but an SD-card (or similar) has advantages over film. Light, radiation, depending on the system water.
Great video!... I love Chris Nolan and the theater experience he creates... So it was dope to learn and see some behind the scene info on his dedication.
it's actually a surprise for me that, no IMAX camera was destroyed while filming Tenet😂
GoPro is going to start looking into a 65mm sensor now after Hoytema's statement regarding the water crash. 😂
It'll be GoPro's first cinema camera and they'll call it "GoPro LF" :-D
That would be a massive GoPro 💀
My friends and I got tickets to a 70mm showing in Vaughan here in ontario... so stoked to see it. The last time I was this excited for a special film event was probably the Hateful Eight roadshow, boy what an awesome experience!
I enjoyed this one a lot. Your videos get better with every upload. Cheers bro. ❤
Appreciate it!
Imagine if for the sake of realistic filmography, Nolan decided to recreate a fake nuke, but then decided step by step to replace the fake parts with the real ones for "authenticity". Then without nobody realizing, they build a fully fledged nuke in the studio and accidentally detonate it
That might break an IMAX camera or two
I appreciate the boundaries Nolan has pushed. And the films he has created are pretty spectacular. The fact that he uses IMAX and FILM has meant that the camera making industry has developed new imax cameras with todays technology making it easier for directors to use film and imax as a real option. You have to break some eggs to make an omelette, as they say
He was the first to film in IMAX.
And he was first to film in Imax in black and white.. Specially designed and manufactured for Nolan by Kodak 😮
In the Dark Knight, the camera was destroyed, during the evacuation of the hospitals sequence. When the Lamborghini crashes into the SUV the pursuit vehicle hits the SUV, it’s in the behind the scenes footage. Also if you watch the movie, because they paint it out, a dent appears out of nowhere on the vehicle.
Interesting 🤔 hadn't heard a out the hospital sequence
A dent? Harvey Dent?

"And now I become Nolan, the destroyer of IMAX cameras"
For the truly special movie, an extra $500,000 or $1,000,000 for a broken camera should be seen as just part of the process, IMHO. The movie will live forever and 50 years later, no one will remember or care that a camera was destroyed in the process.
I call bs on a digital camera not surviving a dip in the water. Who would rig a camera on a plane that's supposed to land on water without waterproofing it.
It's brilliant marketing actually, they can pretend to be devastated or embarrassed to feign relatability. But it still comes across as: "Oops, I crashed my ferrari, so I had to get another one! Aren't I so passionate???" *Underbite snooty laughter*
💀💀💀 I had the same thought haha
The point was, the camera was housed and waterproofed. But it went down further than anticipated which broke the housing. But they were able to save the film. Can’t say the same would happen with a digital camera. So it’s not bs.
@@AhmadAli95 saltwater doesn't destroy data on a hard drive
@@azv343 I didn’t know that and you are right. Now the question will the camera itself survive?
@@AhmadAli95 both cameras get destroyed. With a digital one, sure, circuits get short circuited but you can buy another one. IMAX still has some electronic components, it IS a pump based engine using a battery after all, the shutter isn't handcranked, it's also powered by the battery, the lens could be scratched and fogged, the barrel could be bent, it's all gonna get beat up. Repairing a broken IMAX camera could just get you a brand new ALEXA 65 anyway. These films might get scanned at 6K or 4K but the DI is still 4K, even Nolan can't force the studio to pay up the wazoo for vfx over 4K, trust me, he uses a ton of cg, so his film purist persona is mostly ego and marketing.
Thanks for all the extra data.❤
It wasn’t enough to destroy cameras
Oppenheimer is now breaking Projectors
How do they record conversations having such a loud camera?
Wrecking multiple IMAX cameras for 2 000 000$ Christopher Nolan true GOAT
holy crap
Must be fun!
Christopher Nolan is doing this for the sake of art. If you compare the footages of Dunkirk and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk(Ang Lee shot this movie entire with digital camera), you will notice Dunkirk looks very surrealistic while Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk feels classical realism. The traditional film's odd colour palette, grain, noises and low framerate is what makes Nolan's movies so captivating.
So happy we are getting more and more IMAX movies in theaters, if it werent for someone like him, i probably wouldn't of gotten into the addiction of buying 4k and Blu-Ray discs, along with proper surround sound.
Oddly enough, I never liked the chosen IMAX color grading due to having too much of that characteristic Nolan dark green-blue tint. If you compare the raw IMAX film scan however you realise that this was definitely Nolan's fault 8:27. That short BTS IMAX footage alone has a much more natural color grading ( that at least IMO connects even better to the WW2 setting ).
Yeah I guess it's always that personal color preference. Like I don't love Wes Anderson s look all that much 😅
This comment sounds like the person knows what they’re talking about
Its very dishonest “for the press not you” saying the budget went up by another billion dollars when a camera gets damaged. The repair costs several thousand dollars yes but come one they spend more on catering a single meal than they do fixing a camera
2:29 is when the ad is done
Cant blame the stuntie on the Bat Pad for taking out the camera. How is she meant to steer a bike that long going down stairs. Thats 100 percent camera operator and stunt choreographer / DOP Cock up for having camera in the Danger Zone.
💯 hahaha
Well the thing with IMAX cameras if you're unaware, is that you do not buy them, IMAX will not let you purchase one, they will let you rent one. So I'm pretty sure that in the rental agreement there's some sort of insurance policy that is a part of it, so when one gets destroyed or if one gets destroyed, they can get their money back for it and have it replaced.
IMAX IMAX😂😂 can’t get it out of my head now lol
If you love movies. You have to see a Nolan film in 15/70mm.
Going to see Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX! Excited
It's not at all true that digital would have been destroyed in that plane sinking. That was a short toss into the water: it could have been a tethered data link to recorders on the ship. It could have been SSD drives in a waterproof housing. There are a dozen ways a data chip could have survived that underwater.
Most likely you could recover the data from a bare SSD after that. If you clean it probably afterwards it might even work normally.
A note for future qr codes: qr codes generators add a white border around the qr code. You're not supposed to remove it, as it makes it much harder for the qr code reader to read it (it's called Quiet Zone if you want to learn more about it)
Well it's a QR code for raid Shadow Legends so it's kind of useless.
@@briant. Yeah I don't really care about the ad. It's more in case he needs to use a QR Code for anything serious
fun fact: A lot of us have never experienced real imax because the imax at movie theaters is actually LieMax as it has lower resolution and screen sizes than IMAX.
“an ESTIMATED 75% to be PRECISE…” LMAO. great video regardless
We are treating imax camera like a go pro camera xddd
I was SO happy when I found that clip haha
It be interesting to see what the new IMAX cameras are like
Oppenheimer is the destroyer of worlds, Nolan is the destroyer of IMAX cameras
*UPDATE : Found it !
Its called : " Lamborghini Crash - The Dark Knight " video is 1:53 min. crash is at 0:46. really minor not really destroy.. so yeah.
if i'm correct, there is a shot in the making of for Dark Knight where the russian arm car crashes into a stunt car. i was not 100% loss probably just some minor damage to the head and camera. it was the day time scene a car gets T boned lambo I believe and the camera car has the camera at the wrong place and it gets smashed between the cars.
I don't know why Nolan doesn't shoot open gate on his VV 70 and 65 cameras in order to match the aspect of the IMAX later on.
Agreed... Kinda odd
If imax was invented in the 60s you have to wonder, if someone decided to invent the best quality film camera now using today's best technology what form would it take?
Film cameras really dont have that much potential for improvement anymore, aside from the film itself, which can and is being used in an old camera as well.
Of course you could always increase the film size even more, but that could have been done in the 60s as well and it would make the cameras completely impractical.
If you want to see progression in camera technology, look at digital cameras.
The Dark Knight special edition DVD shows footage of cameras getting destroyed during the Lamborghini scene and the subway fight. Could've been either of those locations
The thing most of you don't understand is that we see these as tools to complete a job. If you're going to baby your equipment all the time you'll never get the most of out it. Shit breaks... it happens. That is why we have insurance.
And that's why they had insurance 😅 Nolan likes to blow stuff up
Christopher Nolan the grim reaper of IMAX cameras.
When the intro with sponsor cut are longer than the actual subject of the video...
I really like the IMAX standard, that is video + audio formats, being theatre or home settings. Nolan - he is great director.
This reminds me of the time I was on Mrbeast 500v500 dodgeball and a ball destroyed a $10,000 and it was just a “oh well” 😂
haha pretty much!
Isn't there a clip of the IMAX camera being destroyed in the tunnels during the car chase?
I could swear it's a special feature on the dark knight Blu ray.

3:28
The 4 camera number is a misconception, they have more in reality. There were four MSM 9802 cameras (5:50) sold to IMAX, these are the grey, blocky cameras you'll see most often. IMAX has other camera models they also use sometimes. The Mk. IV (3:27) for example, or the Mk. II used as a prop in 'Nope'.
I’m 99% sure there exists a DVD extra that includes footage of specifically the camera attached to the technocrane on the black SUV (that you can see in the short clip at 5:30 in this video) during the Lower Wacker sequence, getting squished between two of the stunt vehicles or between one of the vehicles and the concrete crash barrier.
Everyone seems to forget about the one privately owned IMAX camera, owned by filmaker Sean Casey.
I remember. I remember the documentaries Tornado Intercept and Tornado Alley where he built an armored truck called the TIV in order to shoot inside a real tornado using it.
This advertisement for Raid Shadow Legends is doing it again. All ideals are sold for enough money, and garbage is pushed onto the fans.
“…unhealthy…” 🧐 Nah…just the right amount of obsession. Honestly, I wish more people used IMAX like Nolan.
😅😅😅 More just being sarcastic haha. I like IMAX too
I was a child when the IMAX opened in the big "golf ball" at Ontario Place in Toronto. They showed a film called I think "North of Superior", footage shot from a bush plane flying around northern Canada. People were constantly puking from motion sickness!
I watched a cave diving video there it was DOPE
The IMAX camera destroyed on The Dark Knight was destroyed during the chase in lower wacker when the MSM camera, mounted on a Lev head/Ultimate arm, got a bit too close to the action of the semi truck crashing into the cars. There is footage of it on youtube (ruclips.net/video/nx15-s219Yo/видео.html), I think this originally comes from the blu ray extras. I dont know where the rumor comes from that the camera was destroyed during the truck flip, as that was an incredibly well planned stunt that worked out flawlessly, so the camera would have been needed to place within the planned path of the stunt.
Yeah I thought the truck flipping part was kind of dumb. Thanks for finding this though, legit tried to find it for hours and couldn't locate it.
Geez, no wonder these movies are so expensive. they move fast and break things a lot.
haha for real
The cameraman always survives. The camera does not.
This guy literally made a vid abt 3 filming accident 💀💀
**looks at the title of the video to see if it changed** uh... Yeah
where are these camera fail videos. ive never had the stomach to watch those
All over my TikTok 🥲 they come out of nowhere and leave me traumatized
@@FrameVoyager i would imagine so. its comparable to a death video really, for us.
you should add more raid shadow legends commercials ... not enough
How do they record dialogues if the IMAX cameras are so loud ?
I’m 6 hours from the nearest true imax theater but only 3.5 hours from the Washington DC
"use iMax like a GoPro"... i love that!!!
Sometime back,may be two or three decades ago, I heard Oppenheimer uttering “yada yadahi glanir bhavathi Bharat a ! …………….after the explosion of atom bomb on Japan to the bunch of journalists. He showed extreme respect to Gita,his favorite religious booklet. Mind he learnt Sanskrit in his college days.
Bro the intro 🙀🙀🙀
....
One camera was detroyed in chase scene in TDK, in lower wacker, when joker's Sami Truck hit the car. This video can be found in The Dark Knight behind the scenes.

Pronounced: One point four three to one.
Or just 1.43 / One Four Three.
Might have been a typo on my end, thanks for catching that!
Christopher Nolan is basically a Harry Enfield character.
6:33 "What matters most, ist, to get that shot" !!!
chistopher is the definition of chaotic good
Hahaha for real
How do they get the audio when the camera is so loud
There's footage in the bonus material of the "The Dark Knight" Bluray showing the destruction of the IMAX camera
Imax: why are we still giving him our cameras?
Nolan says he loves film so much, but in post treats it as digital
imagine your acting in the dark knight and a whole truck blows up causing a massive explosion, then you forget the line....
Your audio sounds so good - whats your mic (TLM107? Looks too small to my eye to be that mic) and what’s done in post?
Thanks! It's actually the TLM103! Love my Neumann mics for sure. The processing really is just some leveling, dynamic processing, and then I run it through iZotope usually as well. I have worked on the sound for a couple of years now
@@FrameVoyager Well it is tremendous, if you ever want to geek out and list the chain, I’d love to hear it! I work primarily in music, but I’ve been trying to develop a spoken word chain for RUclips/live streaming that I’m often asked to do!
That broken camera's probably displayed in someone's house as an art piece.
Actually, according to the IMdB specs for Oppenheimer, they used the camera to film the movie so haha
Sean Casey was able to get an IMAX camera inside a tornado and it didn't break and some random stunt double just destroyed one in seconds by hitting it
Hilarious note, you ended the video with : D
If this was digital all that footage would be lost we'll just ask the bear that took a selfie on Tom Scott's channel!
Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette
🍳
“Use an imax camera like a GoPro.” Yeah bro we can tell that’s what you treat them like
6:31 Bruh Now That is Dedication….
Hearing that camera go really explains why Nolan can never tell that his dialogue is inaudible. Cause he can't hear it over the camera anyway.
Don't use RSL as a sponsor, and make sure it's clear from the first second of the sponsored section that this is a sponsored section.
9:10 to be fair, that isn't really about digital, but specifically about the IMAX storage format. There are a wide variety of techniques to render electronics water-resistant - everything from water-tight seals, to just dunking the whole device in electronics-grade epoxy.
They keep talking about the camera's but what about the cameraman for Dark knight @7:30, did he have his arms or wrists boken or what? that guy deserves a raise for whatever the camera cost
I won’t be surprised to hear he destroyed a few more cameras during the nuke scene.
Dude I got to watch them film the truck flip scene on Lasalle st. It was so cool. Granted it was from a distance but i didn’t care. 17 year old me was freaking out lol
Glad they caught that second one ... on camera
Im pretty sure it was earlier on the Chase I think there is some images of the destroyed camera
