00:00Look at these. That's that's pretty cool. That's old school huh? Yeah, very old school. We have a couple old school things around here.
00:08Yeah, so this is where it's a little dark. We like it there.
00:12Oh yeah, it's 3D huh? Oh, it's 3D. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with your eyes.
00:18We're doing 3D here and then we're going to take this staircase up to Tater Cola.
00:24This projectionist needs to wear a winter coat.
00:30Is that how they load the wheels? Yes? Yeah.
00:40This is what we watched. Yes? This is one of your rolls. This is not the exact rollable that you want because I had to get over there.
00:46Oh. This is crazy. Look at that. It's bananas. I remember that day too. Look at the clouds too.
00:54Ooh, Ryan look. Shhh. Look at that. Yo. That's so cool. Oh, that seems amazing. Look at that.
01:02Pink. I got to get this framed like in the future, you know, just to have it.
01:08Oh. It's so beautiful. Is this a projection print?
01:14Some of the test film out work. Okay, wow.
01:16Yeah, you can see that. Each frame is like a portrait.
01:20It's pretty nice. I know it.
01:22Pretty nice. Pretty nice work. Gotta make a book or something.
01:24I'm not sure. I'm not sure what they did.
01:26I know. I don't feel like it either.
01:28I remember that day though.
01:30Look how cool that is to see it next to it too.
01:32Yeah. That juxtaposition.
01:34Yeah. It's like slicing it.
01:38So this isn't what we watched, but one of the prints that you did. Okay.
01:42It's one of the prints, yeah. It's exactly the whole one.
01:43Shall I not, shall I not mess with this?
01:45Shall I not mess with this too much?
01:46No, it's okay. It's okay. Yeah.
01:48This is just the test material, so you can do that.
01:50This is a long shot, huh? Yeah.
01:53He ain't out the car yet still.
01:55Oh no, this is, I can roll with that.
01:57It's so much cooler like this.
01:59That is crazy.
02:01Yeah, he's looking for another shot.
02:03I'm looking for him to get out the car.
02:06Yeah, big brands.
02:08Yeah, it's like a flip, like a flip book.
02:11There he goes.
02:12Yo.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Oh, oh, oh.
02:17Yo.
02:18It's so good, dude.
02:21Like we were coloring this and once I was able to see the print, it made sense, you know?
02:27Yeah.
02:28Because like yesterday or whatever, I always wondered about that.
02:32Yo.
02:33Like exposure wise.
02:34Yo.
02:35Oh.
02:36So good.
02:37Hey, Martin, are you here?
02:38I know.
02:39I was going to say that.
02:40I don't, it's in my bag.
02:41Oh, can I grab my phone for my bag real quick?
02:44I don't want to know.
02:45Well, let's run out of my bag.
02:46I don't want to know.
02:47I'm going to turn around to your bag.
02:49Hannah's going to die when she sees that.
03:05Come on, put your left hand down.
03:07Yeah, she's going to flip off.
03:09Yeah.
03:10You know what I mean?
03:11She's going to flip off.
03:13Especially if she sees a print.
03:15It's so real.
03:16It's so light.
03:16Man, this is crazy, man.
03:20Yeah.
03:23How crazy is these projection lamps?
03:29They got us the most powerful.
03:30Oh, yeah.
03:31To make that covered out?
03:33That's right.
03:34That's right.
03:34Yeah.
03:3510,000 watts or so.
03:38Look at Mike.
03:40Man.
03:42One more picture.
03:43Pretty cool, huh?
03:44It's very cool.
03:45Do you want to get some scissors to cut them up right now?
03:46It's beyond.
03:47It's beyond.
03:49Oh, look.
03:50There's a line there.
03:51Cool.
03:51Just a call of storage?
03:52No, no.
03:53That's around the corner.
03:54Do we have time?
03:54Yeah, yeah.
03:55I'm good.
03:56So, super quick.
03:57I wanted to show you.
03:58Look at how cool it is.
04:00So, you know, you saw upstairs.
04:01You saw they had two projectors going in the 3D for digital.
04:04You can do the same thing with film.
04:06You've got a flatter system there and a flatter system here.
04:08We can run 3D film.
04:09Film 3D?
04:09No.
04:09So, this is, these are our fire systems.
04:13I remember seeing this.
04:14Yeah.
04:14So, our guys are down here on the first floor.
04:17They're right around the corner.
04:18I call it like Santa's Workshop.
04:19They're like building all the film and getting it all ready.
04:21And then they put it up here because it's located close to where they're working.
04:25But the booth is three stories up.
04:26There it goes.
04:27So, it goes all the way up three stories through those holes, through the projectors, and back
04:33down here.
04:33Is this how it is at City Walk?
04:35No.
04:35City Walk is right there on the top floor of the room.
04:38When you open the door, it's right in front of you.
04:40You always hit it.
04:42So, it seems crazy, but it works.
04:44You know, you see this s***?
04:46Like, no errors.
04:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:47That's going to...
04:48There's a lot of tensioners in here.
04:50So, it really does a good job.
04:52It's very cool.
04:53Getting that all balanced out.
04:54Hey, when was these platters of the machine like?
04:58When did they make these platters?
04:59Like, how old are they?
05:01Like, how old are they?
05:02Oh, they're pretty old.
05:03Yeah, pretty old.
05:04It could be...
05:05I'm not sure exactly about these, but going back, you know, 40, 50 years.
05:09It's like a record platter.
05:10Yeah, exactly.
05:11A whole platter where it would be between 400 and 600 pounds.
05:15Oppenheimer had ability extenders, right?
05:18Yeah, Oppenheimer was 11 miles long and went just beyond the limits of our...
05:24Oh, because of the length of the...
05:26Yeah, we could only go two hours and we'll say 55 minutes and he was...
05:29Because it was free, so we had to build extenders.
05:31He's been a break-in with the auto-sheet.
05:33Yeah, yeah.
05:34It's like double.
05:35Okay, here we go.
05:37New platters.
05:38New platters.
05:39It's so cool.
05:40Yes.
05:40I feel like I'm dreaming.
05:42I know.
05:44This is the coolest room in the building.
05:46Sorry.
05:47I feel like I'm dreaming, for real.
05:51Are you dressed normally?
05:52Yeah.
05:53Pretty good.
05:53Costco.
05:54Oh, you're definitely dressed.
05:55Oh, I hate it.
05:56It's cold in here.
05:57Yes.
05:59Oh, wait.
05:59We got some nigs up in here.
06:01Oh, there it is.
06:02No way.
06:03That's us.
06:04So that's...
06:04Okay, so is this full...
06:06Because we're on trend right now, so all of it's here?
06:10Yes.
06:10Because you need to be doing our tests and stuff?
06:12Although we have...
06:13We have...
06:13We have off-site scores, but this is our main scoreboard.
06:15You can see some of our very earliest prints here at IMAX.
06:18I don't use nigs.
06:20Okay.
06:20We're off-site here.
06:22Back going back to 1970, 71.
06:24But yeah, this is our active cold storage for our egg.
06:27Okay.
06:29Chill.
06:29Sometimes this room is so full, it's hard to get through here, but right now we're getting ready.
06:34So this is...
06:35You know what?
06:35Okay.
06:37Give me your own photo of this one.
06:41That's a photo right there.
06:44Can I ask you?
06:46I see grilled cheese on the side.
06:48Oh, yeah.
06:48What was the story behind that?
06:50Oh, man.
06:50It's funny.
06:52When I was trying to get the movie off the ground, I was like, oh, y'all just want to make something, you know.
06:57I feel like I've been making these movies, like, where if I was a chef, it was like these, like, super brand and drawn-out meals.
07:07And I was like, y'all just want to make a grilled cheese sandwich, like something that tastes good, but it's fast.
07:11Because what month is this now?
07:13February?
07:14We hadn't even rolled cameras yet.
07:15No.
07:16Yeah, we would have just, like, just been...
07:17We landed.
07:18We hadn't even gotten the...
07:19No, end of February, I think I met you.
07:22Yeah, and we hadn't even gotten to New Orleans yet.
07:24So we did it fast, but it's a very, like, it ended up being a pretty extravagant production.
07:29So that was a joke.
07:30Like, so then I said that to, I think, to my producers, and they started calling it, like, Operation Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
07:38So that was the call name.
07:40And we didn't have a title.
07:41So, like, when we, you know, when we wrapped and everything, it was still Grilled Cheese.
07:45And nobody knew what to call a movie.
07:46Our script supervisor would come every day and pitch a new title.
07:52You know what I'm saying?
07:52He pitched a pretty good one, too.
07:53They're pretty good ones, yeah.
07:54Yeah, yeah, yeah, but, you know, we didn't figure out the title until later.
07:57Maybe Hungry for Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
08:00Bro, you got no idea.
08:02We're ready for the secret tomato soup.
08:04Yeah.
08:06That is not a bad idea.
08:07I don't know if you want to make a secret.
08:09Very cool.
08:10Yo.
08:11Very cool.
08:12These are all us, huh?
08:14Not these two.
08:15Yeah, these two.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Oh, s***.
08:18It's a lot of rolls.
08:19Three minutes to roll this size.
08:20Do you got the ectochrome?
08:21It's in here.
08:22It's in here.
08:23It's just, I don't know what rollers those are.
08:25They're organized in here.
08:27Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:28This one's too nice like that.
08:29It's old school.
08:30They don't even make these cans anymore.
08:32No, I think we heard that, yeah.
08:34The machine in Kodak broke, and that's the only one that made them.
08:36Yeah.
08:37So now they put them in, like, hermetically sealed plastic bags, yeah.
08:42They don't make the cans no more.
08:44No, that's it.
08:45Rude.
08:45Yeah.
08:46Plastic bags, though.
08:47Yeah.
08:47Look it up there.
08:48Have you got any?
08:49Can I get one?
08:50Do you want?
08:51Can I get one one day?
08:51Oh, man.
08:52We'll have to find one.
08:53Come back in school bags.
08:54Yeah.
08:54We'll have to find one, yeah.
08:55I love these things.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Hey, hey.
08:58Garden Isle.
08:59We should take a picture next to these.
09:00Yeah.
09:00It's going off.
09:01I'm starting.
09:04Oh, man.
09:05You see these, bro?
09:06This was us.
09:08All of these.
09:10I think, I can't remember what the tally was.
09:12I think I sent someone how much we shot.
09:14It was a million, right?
09:15It was a lot, yeah.
09:16I think it was a little over.
09:18Yeah, we definitely hit a million feet of 65.
09:22I'm living the dream right now.
09:23Yeah, you are, yes.
09:24I want to get a ladder and figure out what's all in here.
09:28Oh!
09:30What?
09:31Oh, there it is.
09:32Oh, you got my phone on you?
09:34I'm going to send this to you.
09:51We're like fans, right?
09:53You're just walking us through this little tour.
09:54Yeah.
09:55This isn't what we shot.
09:57That's how it feels.
09:58Cool.
09:58I can't observe her, but no, it's you.
10:00Yeah.
10:00Yeah.

10:02Is Noah's here?
10:03No, that's all back in the studio.
10:05Oh, wow.
10:06I should have it back.
10:07Well, yeah.
10:08Truth be told, those Oppenheimer cans are empty.
10:10A cocktail one.
10:10Oh, visual.
10:11Well, they're going to have to help me.
