Christopher Nolan drehte „Die Odyssee“ vollständig mit Imax-Kameras und entwickelte eine neue Ausrüstung, mit der man „einen Fuß“ vom Gesicht eines Schauspielers entfernt schießen und „brauchbaren Ton“ erhalten kann.

> “I presented Chris with a very big close-up of a child on the IMAX screen, reciting David Bowie’s ‘Sound And Vision’ from a piece of paper,” van Hoytema said. “It was very touching: that level of intimacy in both image and sound, fused together, projected in the theatre.”

> Nolan said the results were “electrifying,” adding: “We never would have been able to get those shots before.” The footage proved once and for all that Nolan could finally make an entire movie shot entirely with Imax cameras, whereas he was limited to mostly action scenes in the past since Imax cameras were too noisy to film dialogue scenes up close up to the actor. A new Imax film casing called a “blimp” was created to significantly reduce the noice these Imax cameras produce.

> “The blimp system is a game-changer,” Nolan said. “You can be shooting a foot from [an actor’s] face while they’re whispering and get usable sound. What that opens up are intimate moments of performance on the world’s most beautiful format.”

A new casing called a “blimp”? They been using these on cinema cameras for 70 years.

That’s funny because he sucks with sound mixing. Love Nolan though

I don’t think Nolans definition of „usable“ is synonymous with „quality“
