How OPPENHEIMER 70MM IMAX film is projected from SCRATCH!

We go to the birthplace of IMAX! Join IMAX projectionist Trevor Evans who gives a walkthrough from beginning to end on how it's done in the country that invented IMAX! He gives a detailed walkthrough on how he threads the film, sets up the audio, and even how to have the Digital IMAX system take over seamlessly in an emergency. This isn't just just pretty shots with voiceover - we show everything. This is how a master IMAX projectionist does it.

Huge thanks to the @SaskatchewanScienceCentre and the IMAX Kramer Theatre in Regina, Saskatchewan for letting us come in and bring this amazing process!

Very cool. That thing is a beast. Wish I could own some Oppenheimer Imax cells.

Imax digital xenon is not 4K. The 2Ks don't add up. Which is why it was such a huge downgrade from 15/70. Laser looks fine.
