A Homo Erectus tribe explores the Earth
notes Glass. “The aim was to help
convey the variety of life’s forms
and, as such, though we mastered
using the Dolby HDR system for
extended dynamic range, we did not
try to smooth every kink, but rather
let each shot play to its strengths
visually.” IMAX requires a great
amount of visual detail. “Work-
ing on a screen as large as IMAX
impacts everything from composi-
tional choices to speed of motion
and pacing of the edit. It was always
deemed to be critical by Terry for
helping to immerse the viewer and
help create the sense of an experien-
tial journey.”
In;regard;to;the;difference;be-
tween the IMAX and feature ver-
sions, Glass observes, “Being short-
er, the IMAX experience is much
more of a hint or glimpse of what
visual secrets our universe’s history
holds. The feature version allows
more opportunity to represent addi-
tional beats in the timeline, as well
as explore humanity’s relationship
to;our;cosmos;in;a;different;light.”
