Behind the IMAX in The Dark Knight

One of the many exciting aspects of The Dark Knight is how the movie incorporated IMAX shots. Friends who watched the film have called the shots absolutely stunning and incredibly immersive; another reason why this is the Best. Movie. Ever. Having yet to see it, I can only sigh wistfully and aggregate information on how it was done. Popular Mechanics has a great write-up of the challenges in shooting with an IMAX camera, including a behind-the-scenes video on how the action came together. More »

Behind the Scenes At Apple's iPhone 2 Ad Shoot

Our pal David Jr.com went over to the 5th Ave. Apple store back on May 29 to check out why that store was closed from 3PM to 9AM the next day. Turns out they were shooting a 3G iPhone ad there, which David got a sneak peek of on video. There aren't a whole lot of specifics on the ad since IT'S A SECRET, but we do get to see some guy in a suit being primped. He's probably in the ad somewhere as a James Bond-like figure who needs to take out his iPhone in order to check mail on his company's Exchange servers (new feature!). [David Jr]

Nonobject Two-Way Camera Shows Us What We Can't Control

We've shown you some of Branko Lukic's "Nonobjects" before, including the touchless cellphone and those unique pebbles of electronic awesomeness. The latest concept from this man's fertile mind is the Behind The Scenes camera, with lenses and displays on both sides for simultaneously recording what you're aiming at, and what you're not. Why? The stuff you shoot is what you remember, what you control, what you expect. What turns up within the other lens is unknown, unexpected, outside of your control. I dig the idea, and the video's peaceful soundtrack, but I don't get how the photographer isn't in the back shot. Wouldn't it be cool to be in some of those pics, as a reward for taking shots of everyone else? [Nonobject] Thanks, Branko!
