Christopher Nolan Edits 'The Odyssey' With Physical Scissors

Nolan is editing The Odyssey the old way: scissors, a light table, and physical 70mm IMAX film. Each magazine runs just 2.5 minutes before it needs a reload, which means the entire production is built around that constraint. Most photographers will never cut a frame of IMAX stock, but the discipline baked into large-format analog shooting, plan every shot because waste is expensive and reloads are slow, translates directly to how the best film photographers still work. Worth five minutes of your time if you need a reminder that constraints sharpen craft.
