The production of The Odyssey involved a large IMAX camera system that required a mirror system for actors to see around it. The film was shot using a custom Panavision lens and a 400-pound IMAX system, with some scenes potentially being the first to use anamorphic IMAX. Details about the filming process, including the use of a soundproof "coffin" and the challenges of working with the large camera, have been revealed in behind-the-scenes reports.
