Taking the lead in the new IMAX-certified format "Filmed In IMAX"!

Above all, ``DUNE'' marks the beginning of an IMAX movie that utilizes a new program called ``Filmed In IMAX.'' This program allows works shot with high-end digital cameras such as ARRI and RED Digital Cinema approved by IMAX to be completed with the company's own post-production and officially certified as IMAX works.

Previously, IMAX movies had to be shot with an IMAX 65mm/15 perforation film cinema camera or an ARRI ALEXA 65mm IMAX digital cinema camera, which has a larger image size than a 65mm 5 perforation film camera. In addition, many other movies shown at IMAX theaters have been converted to the same format using IMAX remastering technology and provided as IMAX movies (IMAX DMR). However, in consideration of the growing number of customers seeking experiential visual experiences and the limited number of IMAX cameras in existence, this program was set up.

The camera used to shoot "DUNE" was an ARRI ALEXA LF, which is equipped with an LF (large format) sensor that is slightly larger than a 35mm full-frame sensor. When set to open gate (a mode that records data from the entire sensor surface), the image captured is 36.70 x 25.54mm, approximately 4.5K, and has a wide range of high definition. By formatting this to IMAX's 1.90:1 aspect ratio, you can watch a version with up to 26% more image information than the standard widescreen 2.39:1. Furthermore, it can be adjusted to the same aspect ratio as IMAX film, 1.43:1, so it can be shown in some IMAX full-screen formats, providing an approximately 40% greater visual experience. Up until now, full-screen projection has tended to be limited to films shot with IMAX film cinema cameras, such as Christopher Nolan's `` Dunkirk '' (2017) and `` Tenet '' (2020), but now it has expanded to a wider range. This made it possible to supply
