'Oppenheimer': Here's Why You Can't Hear Some of the Dialogue
The Big Picture If you've ever seen a Christopher Nolan film in theaters, particularly on a gigantic IMAX screen, you will never fail to be wowed by the stunning visuals that the director brings to the table. His movies are uniformly gorgeous, which is credited to his work with ace cinematographers like Hoyte van Hoytema and, previously, Wally Pfister. His latest film, Oppenheimer, is no exception to this trend.
These massive cameras are not soundproofed in the same way that standard film cameras are, which can cause the noise generated by the motors inside the camera to compromise the audio. This is just one of the challenges that the film's cinematographer spoke with Collider about recently, though it is a reasonable sacrifice when the trade-off is the stunning imagery that can only come from working with IMAX.
"There are certain mechanical improvements. And actually, IMAX is building new cameras right now which are going to be even quieter. But the real breakthrough is in software technology that allows you to filter out the camera noise. That has improved massively in the 15 or so years that I've been using these cameras. Which opens up for you to do more intimate scenes that you would not have been able to do in the past.
