It won't be useful for the technical debate around the IMAX projection but in
2006 I suggested a game to identify the title of the film of a 70mm film strip.
Every player received a postcard with some frames of the film as a gift for his
or her try. Here's the explanation of it:

You can theoretically run 5 perf 70mm on IMAX projectors, though I certainly
wouldn't do it with anything precious (and pretty much all 70mm is precious
these days) ... it would be a fun experiment though, you'll just get three
frames at a time rotated 90 degrees running three times as fast as they should.
Likewise I often use junk IMAX film as regular 70mm leader since the frame
lines match up.

But Jodie's film is just regular 8 perf 70mm, right, not 70/15 perf (Imax),
which was the original question? Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that...

Jodie Mack and Danielle Ash did make a 70mm direct animation film that I
believe was commissioned by Orphans.... it was documented on video and posted
on Jodie's vimeo page here: http://vimeo.com/57294787
