What did you expect from the title? That they used Einstein's equations to render the actors? Of course it's the black hole.

- didgeoridoo 2y agoSince the digital movie camera used to film the actors relies on the photoelectric effect to turn light into pixel data, you could say Einstein’s equations were used for the live-action portion too!
- deep_merge 2y agoUm actually… Chris Nolan doesn’t shoot digital. His more recent pictures (Interstellar included) are shot on a mixture of 35mm, 70mm and IMAX 70mm (!)
- didgeoridoo 2y agoThe light-sensitive chemicals in film also rely on the photoelectric effect! YOU CAN’T ESCAPE EINSTEIN, NOLAN.
- mapimopi 2y agoWhat's the difference between 70mm and IMAX 70mm? Is it just the aspect ratio (2.20:1 vs 1.43:1)?
- deep_merge 2y agoYes, it’s an even larger format than traditional 70mm. The cells are physically larger. Anecdote: Nolan worked with Kodak to invent black & white IMAX film for Oppenheimer. https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/blog-post/oppenheimer/ https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/blog-post/oppenheimer/
- bradgranath 2y agoThe film is run through the camera & projector sideways, allowing for a larger frame to be laid down on the same stock. https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.183/gkz.aeb.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMAX-70mm-35mm-comparison.png https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.183/gkz.aeb.myftpuplo...
