The IMAX Projector Sounds Off

July 6, 2009 by Jake Riehle

Reader slash IMAX projectionist Derek Helmer, sent me a link to his blog which features some posts in and about the IMAX projection booth he works in (I’ve posted some of my favorites below). I am a huge fan of feature film presentation in IMAX, even with the recent hub-bub about their retro-fitted theaters, hopefully IMAX gets that screen size discrepancy and proper charge therein sorted out. Regardless, I am anticipating an IMAX screening of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in the coming weeks and you can currently see “Transformers 2” featuring a longer cut and “to-scale” robots in some shots. Anyway, enjoy some IMAX projection glamor below.

  • A recording of the IMAX projector doing work.
  • A shot of the 70mm platers used for “Transformers 2”.
  • An IMAX print of the “The Dark Knight” given the run-through.
