* JitterCam: His Batman films, ''Film/{{Inception}}'', and ''Film/{{Dunkirk}}'' use handheld camerawork extensively, but it's often hard to notice because he uses them very strategically, using simpler shots when nothing intense is going on. He even goes so far as to have the camera operators ''carry IMAX cameras'', which are much heavier than the traditional cameras[[note]]It helps that Hoyt van Hoytema, Nolan's go-to cinematographer in his later films, is a very large and strong man who can shrug off the extra weight[[/note]].

* CreatorCouple: He's married to Emma Thomas, who's worked as a producer on all of his films. According to a profile of Thomas in [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Daily Telegraph]], "Thomas produces her husband's films, Nolan directs his wife's films." It describes Thomas's great strength as being able to accurately work out the schedule and budget before filming, and then make everyone stick to it. Being known for delivering films on time and on budget is obviously a great help to Nolan in his dealings with studios.
