Making ‘Oppenheimer’
Nolan had Kodak manufacture black-and-white 65mm film so the whole thing could be shot on IMAX and System 65, then printed on analog. Göransson built the hexatonic 'Can you hear the music' theme around a six-note scale and recorded the Trinity cue as one ten-minute live take; Lame cut the atom-collision montages before she was allowed to hear any of the score.
