OPPENHEIMER in 70MM - Ritz Cinemas, Sydney
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Here is a behind-the-scenes video documenting the making up of a brand new 70mm print of Nolan's new large-format biography, Oppenheimer.
The print was struck photochemically and audio is played via DTS timecode. The total feature was 5 reels (the reels were designed and made by Brad Miller at Film-Tech). Reel 1 also included a 3-minute section of Vertigo to be used when testing to make sure the DTS audio is in sync.
Credits:
Filmed on location: Ritz Cinemas, Randwick
Projectionist: John Wilson
Co-Projectionist: Benjamin Olsen
Special Thanks: Brad Miller

This is awesome. I've never seen a film in IMAX before but this makes me even more keen to see this one in that format. I love how tangible this is, it's "just" a beautiful evolution of old technology. Greetings from Hungary :)
A truly brillaint way to put it! evolution of old technology, love it. Hope you get to see a film in IMAX one day, I only had my first IMAX viewing until a couple of weeks ago in Melbourne, when it's done well, it truly is the best way to see certain films. Thanks for commenting, Cheers!
Was lucky enough to see it here in Sacramento iMax 70mm. It was INCREDIBLE!!!
Basically the same technology from the advent of film and projection in the 1890s!@@ClarkTeddles
Thanks for sharing this great experience with us film heads!! Kid in a candy store, love it. Saw 70mm print last week at the Orpheum, great presentation. Keep it up Clark mate!
Grea to hear you got to see it at the orpheum! Kid in a candy store, exactly! Thanks for the comment! Cheers
Thanks for still projecting film 🤙🏻 Take good care of this projector as long as you can guys!
Film rulez 😎
The projector shown in this video is actually owned by one of the projectionists who work at this cinema (not featured in this video, but in my Dark Knight, Pulp Fiction, and Pink Floyd). This projector is taken care as well as possible. Film rulez indeed! Cheers
I saw this on 70mm in Denver this last summer it was awesome. the 70mm print was perfect.
Great to hear your presentation was good. the prints looked great. Thanks for commenting!
DTS!! Yeah baby!
Gotta love it!
This is soooo interesting clark... thanks mate.
Thanks for watching, Gordy! Cheers
Looks like Brad's handwriting on the print ID labels.
IT IS!!!
Never seen a film prepared before, thanks for sharing man, very cool to see.
I'm glad you liked it! Thats why I enjoy filming these videos, it's not very publicly shown and not many people know how much work is going into certain special presentations. Cheers!
Awesome thank you so much for this, it brings back such memories! I saw it in 15-perf (very lucky) but I'm sure this format is also wonderful.. last one I saw probably would have been Hateful 8 haha, Keep film alive!
Glad you got to see it in the best possible format. This 70mm print was also done photochemically so it looks great. Thanks for watching the video, cheers
Saludos desde Puerto Rico gracias por el video
Nice video, looks like its 5 perf, 70mm IMAX. I wonder what a 15x70 IMAX reel will look like.
Great question, here's a link to a video from Bored_Tech who did a phenomenal video in the projection booth of an IMAX theater in London, building up all 53 reels of Oppenheimer in 15-perf IMAX film.

Thanks for the kind words! greatly appreciated, cheers
Wow! No wonder why tickets for film projection are sold out a month ahead in London.
A lot of work goes into each and every presentation, so I'm glad its getting full-houses. Hope you can see it at one of the IMAX's in London, of a standard 70mm print (they both look absolutely stunning). Thanks!
@ClarkTeddles I Wonder If The 3 Minute Vertigo DTS Test Film Look Like. Beacause I Did Not Find This Video On UA-cam. I Hope One Day Or An Another Have Upload This.🙂 Update:Is A Nood To The 1958 Film Of The Same Name.
if it is ever projected, I will be sure to film it, although I'm sure the picture clarity is exactly the same (if not, very close) to the 70mm release of vertigo. Although I greatly doubt it will be projected on screen as the DTS system is perfectly setup. Thanks for watching!
There was the days the reels were projected separately every 22mins once the film has finished its run they have to do all this in reverse
Thankfully the "Platter" system requires no need to rewind the film. although if you had a reel-to-reel setup (also known as changeovers) you would need to rewind each reel.
@@ClarkTeddles Been there done that on running 70mm on twin projectors and carbon lamps (when was the last time you saw that kind of light).
I believe this is a regular 70 mm reel and not an IMAX one. The frame is about four perfs each. Correct if wrong.
you're correct, it's 5-perf standard 70mm. Cheers
Fabulous! I loved the gag near the start where the distributor letter recommends a certain UA-cam channel. Is 'Brad Miller' the Brad Miller from the 8mm Forum? John.
Brad Miller is certainly THE Brad Miller from the 8mm forum. Thanks for watching, John! Glad you liked it
@@ClarkTeddles I haven't spoken with Brad in well over ten years now. Amazing to see his name turn up in one of your videos Clark. Who would have thunk it?
@@moviecollector5920Brad is a great guy, truly one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever spoken to about film. Hope you can get in contact with him again soon. By the way, I saw your newest “home cinema build” and its looking brilliant. Love the neon sign. Speaking of “empire” have you seen empire of light yet? Some great projection booth scenes in it. Cheers
@@ClarkTeddles I haven't seen Empire of Light yet Clark but I will do soon I think. Andy is here plastering today so it's almost finished. The video projector is down again as the new beam had to be plastered so that's a bit of a pain as it was nerve wracking getting it up but it does give us the opportunity to move it over another inch which should make filling the screen even easier. John.
@@moviecollector5920 I was rather dissapointed that Empire of Light didn't get a 4K release, due to the 35mm prints being struck from a 4K source, it sure did look great. I've heard the blu ray for Empire of Light looks stunning, it has 5/5 for visuals last I checked on the blu ray website.
Can't wait to see the finished product of your home cinema. Cheers
Is it running vertically? I thought all IMAX films roll in horizontal position
You’re right, all imax films run horizontally through the projector. This is a standard 70mm projector, where the film is played vertically. Thanks for watching, cheers
@@ClarkTeddles Thanks for the answer, great video mate
Does the print have cue marks for theaters that want to do change overs?
It does not as the ritz have a platter system. Cinemas with changeover systems would add the cue marks themselves with some was crayon or add a marker of sorts. Cheers!
Actually it does have changeover cues at the end of the first four reels. I asked for them and Film-Tech kindly obliged. I don't need them but it's film so why not?
Sorry I meant to re reply to this comment the other day after seeing this print at the ritz again. It does have cue marks. I assumed it wouldn’t have cue marks because platter systems are so common, and that cinemas with changeovers would add the cue marks themselves, that’s what was done for the 70mm release of joker. Thanks for replying, John, cheers.
just curious, how'd you guys get that much scrap IMAX film?
Terrific Video. A few questions:
1:08 What is the Vertigo DTS Test? Is that an excerpt of the Hitchcock film? If so, which scene?
3:00 Aren’t white gloves recommended for Splicing film?
3:36 What was contained on the 2nd disc and the flash drive?
Also, once the film has completed its run, do you splice back the heads and tails of each reel?
Hi,
1. The test film on reel 1 is a 3 minute scene from vertigo (unsure of what scene). it can be used when testing the DTS setup to make sure everything is in sync.
2. Gloves are recommended but only the sides of the film and not the picture were touched. leaving nothing on the projected image.
3. the 2nd disc included the other half of Oppenheimer. the flash drive included the entire same tracks. this way, theaters around the world have an option to pick between both. for the CD-rom, its separated onto two discs due to its large 1.3 GB size.
4. The print that the Ritz received does not need to be sent back for now. But typically, when a print is returned, the leaders and tails are of course spliced back on.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers
@@ClarkTeddles Having worked for DTS/Datasat, I never saw someone do a Vertigo test, interesting.
I remember when they played DTS off of cd's there was 2 cd and if u wonted trailers you had to have a disk for that 2 or else it would play stereo untill it found the triler with dts on it on 35 mm good times better then they are now with all digital now plus we had masking so no gray bars on the screen like today it just looks like a old tv now when u go to most movie theater all the Presentation is gone now a days
I agree, ever since digital was introduced, the bar has been set very very low for movie presentations. That's another reason why film presentations are so great, they're manually planned out and perfected with each screening. Digital always has flaws, one way or another.
Cheers
You never did anything else, John.
Can I have the test film if you're not using it?
We use it for projectionist training and verifying sync for the DTS system I’m afraid. Thanks for watching the vid! Cheers
Wow Clark Teddles the Reel Guy 😆. That was cool that the film delivery company recognised your channel.
Very exciting stuff.
Do any of the guy wear earplugs in these booth's? They see very noisy.
Well done Clark
Trevor
It certainly was cool that Brad over at Film-Tech put my name on the sheet for reel 1. The others said go check out "Splice Here: A Projected Odyssey" which is a great doco that you would absolutely love, if there is a screening happening near you soon, definitely try make it to one of them. A Blu-Ray is in the works so that may be the go. I'll have the letter framed soon with some nice film leader around it, truly one of the best surprises ever.
As for your question, we don't wear ear plugs in the booth, although the projector is loud, we can still understand what each other are saying, I think my audio on my youtube videos is rather loud.
Cheers!
@@ClarkTeddles I'm chuffed for you mate. Are you working at the cinema now?
Just think about your hearing. It's not always the volume that damages your hearing but the constant barrage of sound hours on end.
Keep safe mate, just looking out for you.
Trevor
please no leader on the floor¨
no gloves?
