Watch the Glorious Way Christopher Nolan Cuts Scenes in ‘The Odyssey’ Using Literal Scissors
Christopher Nolan's film 'The Odyssey' is the first movie shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film, which requires unique handling due to its size. Nolan demonstrated the manual film cutting process at FotoKem, the only lab producing 70mm prints. The film's color correction is also done by hand to maintain the analog quality that closely resembles human vision.
