Black and White IMAX Film Stock

Cool, nerdy film fact about “Oppenheimer” 🤓 From AP News: “Nolan’s desire for the black and white portions to be of equal image quality to the rest of the film led to the development of the first ever black and white IMAX film stock, which Kodak made and Fotokem developed."

In recent decades, black and white film research and development fell by the wayside. That’s why Bob Elswit chose to shoot “Good Night, and Good Luck” with color film stock and then convert to black and white in post.
