Shooting 35mm, they use anamorphic lenses, which have their lovely distortions, shooting IMAX is spherical, switching between the two can be quite jarring because the optics are so different. Shooting IMAX and 5/65mm, it’s all spherical, not as distracting when switching between the two.

Then why didn't they choose to do that with TDK and TDKR?

also, Wally really likes anamorphic

"Most of what's in the film was done with real Spitfires," says Nolan. "The planes are in incredible condition and can do all the dogfighting, all the aerobatics. They are remarkable machines."

"I would be on the ground waving (them off) as they took off," says Nolan. "Craig would run the camera and fly the plane. They would do a half-hour sortie, come back and we’d look at the tape."

IMAX cameras allow for only three-and-a-half minutes of film shooting at one time, so the process was drawn out — each short shoot required a landing, review and film reloading.

"There were literally hundreds of take-off and landings. Up and down. Reload and shoot," says Hosking

Jealous.

I could help teach you how to do it, but you would need a Blu-ray drive for your PC, blank BD's, and a lot of different software. That, or I might be able to find a way to make some and ship them to you, but the versions that I made are void of menus, subtitles, different languages and special features. I just made the feature films, because I have the rest of the stuff on my regular BD's.

But yes, I prefer watching the films this way.
