I noticed some interesting warping in this film, most noticeably on the outer edges, and wondered about the technology the Shaw Brothers' used. While this article doesn't answer that, it's still an interesting look into their #cinematography.

As bored and unmoved as I was whilst watching ‘Project Hail Mary’ yesterday, I was equally charmed and moved whilst watching Thierry Frémaux’s ‘Lumière, l'aventure continue’ (2025) today. #Lumière #cinema #cinematography #ProjectHailMary

Wondrous Journey-  Project Hail Mary [2026]

À l’image, l’installation de quelques vieilles sources artificielles pour un projet filmé l’an dernier.
