IMAX clarifies "Shot with" vs. "Filmed for" distinctions

IMAX employs two distinct labels, "Shot with IMAX" and "Filmed for IMAX," to differentiate production methods. "Shot with IMAX" specifically refers to the use of IMAX's large-format film cameras, capturing footage in a 15-perf 65mm format that results in a taller aspect ratio. In contrast, "Filmed for IMAX" is a broader program that includes movies shot with IMAX-certified digital cameras or even traditional film cameras, with a focus on optimizing the final presentation for IMAX theaters. This distinction means that not all movies labeled "Filmed for IMAX" necessarily utilize IMAX's signature film cameras, and the extent to which a film fills the IMAX screen can vary significantly.
