Well, that’s absolutely amazing. Watch this breathtaking AI rendering of the IMAX cameras filming the atomic bomb experiment scene (Trinity test) on Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. If that’s the AI (Artificial Intelligence), just imagine what the real BTS footage looks like, or the actual scene.
AI rendering of IMAX cameras
These pictures were published by user Saran Srimee in the Midjourney FB group. Midjourney is an AI art generator from textual description. The pictures show the AI rendering of BTS footage from Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer set. The real BTS pictures were captured when filming the atomic bomb scene with the IMAX cameras. One of Midjourney users imagined those (Saran Srimee) and compiled them via the software with the help of a special bot. The results are breathtaking, hyperrealistic, and intricately detailed AI renderings of the IMAX cameras shooting the Trinity test.
AI doesn’t know what an IMAX camera looks like
As explained, the AI pictures of the IMAX cameras created by Midjourney software demonstrate hyperrealistic footage showing strange machines capturing a real atomic explosion. However, AI doesn’t know (yet) what IMAX cameras look like. The Midjourney is an independent research lab that produces a proprietary artificial intelligence program that creates images from textual descriptions. The tool is currently in open beta, which it entered on July 12, 2022. As for now, it has nearly a million members. In simple words, the program appears to take concepts and make them a reality- art-based AI imagery. It uses machine learning to create pictures based on text, so there’s a chance that IMAX cameras will be created in a much more precise manner in the future when the software will recognize them.
How does it work?
The user describes what he wants to see. The Midjourney bot goes out and finds images that are like what have described and combined them uniquely and artistically. What you get is more than a simple composite. Midjourney is an AI ultra-complex art image creator. You get an entirely new and original creation. In the case of Oppenheimer, the user had to write words like IMAX, Trinity, Atom Bomb, Behind The Scenes, Cinematic, Epic, 65mm Cameras, and Movie Set, which could lead him to those mesmerizing BTS images.
Filmmaking blogs thought this is real
Now listen to this. Many filmmaking outlets thought that those were actually real and new IMAX cameras shooting the Trinity test. However, it’s easy to be fooled by the crazy mind of Nolan, who is a freak of IMAX cameras and an insane zero-VFX enthusiast. We wrote here before about Nolan who has recreated the Trinity test (the first nuclear weapon detonation, in New Mexico) without the use of computer graphics. Hence, those AI pictures managed to trick many movie outlets. They even gave a credit to the still photographer on Nolan’s set, Melinda Sue Gordon. Hilarious! Midjourney is not able to post-process photos taken with a camera. In order to create an image on an existing picture, the user should prompt with the web address of the photo (even Dropbox or Google Drive). Thus, there’s a chance that the user has referred to an online resource of secret BTS footage of Oppenheimer. However, in our opinion, those images were created only by text description, based on Saran’s imagination.
BTW, a few hours ago, the new Oppenheimer trailer has been released. Watch it below:
Closing thoughts
Those AI-generated BTS images of the IMAX cameras filming Nolan’s Trinity test, are definitely incredible. However, do you know what will be super cool? Watching the real BTS images of that scene, we are sure they exist. Or of course, watching the edited scene in an IMAX theater. Let’s know your thoughts on that AI-generated IMAX camera:-)

Are “AI pictures” pictures?
I’m not a fan of AI pictures. I’m an artist, who spends a lot of time working on a single drawing. Meanwhile AI art has been getting more attention lately, while all an “artist” has to do it type a few words and let the computer do the rest, but that’s not even the worst part.
The AI has to learn about art to be able to make it, and guess how they do that….. EXACTLY, it looks at art that was made already, and takes parts from different drawings to make new “art”, so the AI technically just steals art from artists.
Well you need to step up your game before you go extinct.
Ai art and art created by people are 2 different things.
Why do you create art? And what is the impact of ai art on this?
This is the stupidest article I’ve ever seen you write. ‘ Looking for BTS of Oppenheimer? Here they aren’t !:-) ‘ What is the point? What theater of the mind and the machine crap is this? This is horrible, a waste of time. I’m mad that I’m wasting time to write this comment. If the article was only about how these beastly-claw-fingered-renderings fooled filmmaking blogs that would be newsworthy.
Haha👍
Hey, don’t ever write an article like this again. And tell your peers to do the same thing or we will write you off for good. No one wants to look at this fake disingenuous garbage. Stop misleading people to click your stupid articles. This whole AI thing is going the way of the NFT real quick.
What a useless, insipid piece of media. “Hey everyone, here’s an article I wrote for my own website where I talk about pictures I made up of something I can’t show you pictures of!” The worst part is, I know this is only for clicks and ad engagements, so me commenting here is still a good thing. I just hate this that much.
You know there’s a whole lot of discussion about AI art, and the myriad of artistic, philosophical, psychological, and social implications… But nobody has seemed to ask the question or I haven’t seen it anywhere…
What is AI’s opinion of us, as a species, as it continues to get a deeper and deeper understanding of us through our “artistic” expression? And what does the creative element of a human being really amount to, if it can be reproduced so easily? What makes us human? I think there’s a lot of questions that nobody seems to be asking and they’re all just worried about whether or not the products that they are producing are going to be stolen which is an important but less important question or matter if you ask me… But what do I know I’m just a human
AI doesn’t have an opinion.. All we have is machine learning, blending existing data together to form new output.
This is disgusting. Saying these came from the imagination of the person typing in the words is a discredit to the millions of artists and photographers and filmmakers who’s work is often stolen to be fed to these AI generators. The real questions that need to be asked is how we can deal with this blatant theft, not how we can celebrate it it in a clickbait article.
Gives the non artistic with a great imagination to create the thoughts of the mind.
I never write comments on articles like this, but my goodness this is a stupid, stupid article. This is such an utterly pointless and ridiculous thing.
Wtf was this?? Why would you write this much about glitch art?
This article is a new low for journalism. It’s the journalistic equivalent of a co-worker I don’t like who is telling me about a dream they had last night.
Dear writer of this article, You cant sell is such sxxt Just because topic is related to Christopher Nolan. WTF is “AI imagined photo” by someone else? Why waste others time.?
Why bother writing this? If you want to spunk off in your imagination of something that hasn’t been released yet, fine. We’re all excited to see this film, in the old days we waited but this bts / come camera ai porn bs is just sick. Stop it and see someone about your illness.
