Hoyte van Hoytema's Cinematography
Of course it looked small, Nolan said in several interviews that he used old school technique in photography calledBobCobb wrote: ↑July 21st, 2023, 7:31 pmMaybe he filmed the smoke trails separately and superimposed them into the cloud shots?
Curious: What did u guys think of the Trinity test?

After seeing this video I’m convinced the scale was realistic. Moreover, the sky was dark so we don’t see the mushroom cloud rising – further making it seem “smaller”.
without having seen it, but having consumed hours of atomic test footage throughout my life i can theorize that some people might have been expecting to see something that would more closely resemble the scale of the larger thermonuclear tests, im talking Ivy Mike, Bravo and of course Tsar, also also the test takes place in the desert, no visual references in sight, lets take the Beirut explosion, wich was literally 1/20 the yield of Trinity and yet it looks absolutely and terrifyingly huge, because of all the direct references of size with the buildings, and all the different prespectives.ThePhantomTerror wrote: ↑July 22nd, 2023, 8:02 amAfter seeing this video I’m convinced the scale was realistic.

Having seen it, I'll just put my thoughts on this in spoilers below:Nicolaslabra wrote: ↑July 22nd, 2023, 8:20 pmwithout having seen it, but having consumed hours of atomic test footage throughout my life i can theorize that some people might have been expecting to see something that would more closely resemble the scale of the larger thermonuclear tests, im talking Ivy Mike, Bravo and of course Tsar, also also the test takes place in the desert, no visual references in sight, lets take the Beirut explosion, wich was literally 1/20 the yield of Trinity and yet it looks absolutely and terrifyingly huge, because of all the direct references of size with the buildings, and all the different prespectives.ThePhantomTerror wrote: ↑July 22nd, 2023, 8:02 amAfter seeing this video I’m convinced the scale was realistic.

Saw it laser IMAX 1.90 and I was wondering how it feels to see this in 1.43 with the switching ratios considering most of it (though I didn't pay attention all the time, but the quality difference between 5 perf and 15 is night and day) seems to be 5 perf/2.20. Distracting? In 1.90, it works very well with just a thicker bottom black bar.
I wouldn't be surprised if the new IMAX film cameras (first ones supposedly ready later this year) are silent enough that Nolan can finally go nuts and shoot everything 15 perf.

ICG article on the film's cinematography is up:

starts on page 22. They changed the title from IMPLOSION but I'm still okay with it.
