Fraser admitted that he was eager to shoot Dune on IMAX film. Picture: ARRI “Digital felt too crisp, and film looked too nostalgic”įor testing, Fraser tried many formats, focusing on film cameras. Anyway, the film was shot in pure digital format (ARRIRAW). It’s important to note that back then there were no ‘IMAX-Certified’ cameras, as the ‘ Filmed in IMAX’ program was announced later on. According to resources, the film was shot for the IMAX format with an IMAX-certified ALEXA LF camera and an IMAX-certified Mini LF (the prototype), equipped with Panavision’s large-format lenses in the Ultra Vista and H-series lineup, with select scenes seeing the aspect ratio opened up to 1.90:1. Hence, DP Greig Fraser ASC, ACS, and director Denis Villeneuve used a prototype of the ARRI ALEXA Mini LF camera during the last months of shooting. Principal photography of Dune began in March 2019.

All that to create the most accurate emulation possible, reducing the digital sharpness, and elevating softness. The movie was shot digital (on the ARRI ALEXA LF and Mini LF), then was transferred to 35mm film, and then was scanned back to digital.
The process of making Dune was pretty novel in terms of creating the imagery.
