Where I live, there's always a shadow, even at night.

The problem as a viewer I notice with night scenes shot at day, is how actors and animals act in the night scenes like they would during day. Example, you don't squint your eyes to look at things in poor light, you open your eyes wide, you don't move swiftly or easily in the dark, but rather take deliberate careful steps, you don't sprint in the dark in a forest, you run with your arms out stretched to prevent collision, etc. I hope the filmmakers can emulate night time behaviors in day shoot for night scenes. And o the shadows cast on the subject, you need powerful day light to cast such well defined shadows, moonlight doesn't cast such strong shadows.

It’s also very helpful to film on overcast days, much easier to balance things out. Digital painters in animation studios will typically have an overcast color key that they can manipulate into different times of day concept art easier. Of course, you can’t always wait for an overcast day, especially in the desert. I thought it looked great in this movie! The worse is when movies do this on a bright day in the woods, the contrast is too much and you can tell the dappled light is sunlight

Nope was such a brilliant movie. I feel for all those who saw it knowing what it was about. The movie spends so long building up to the reveal that it works so well as long as you don't know what it is.

Fantastic video!! I was really impressed with the night time cinematography in this film, so I'm glad you guys made a video about it

I think going for 100% realism is putting technical over feeling.

this video came up randomly in my suggestions: I havent even watched Nope yet! gonna get on that -This looks so amazing!

I really want someone to make a tutorial breakdown of the post production process of merging ir footage with colour like that for day for night. Cuz realistically you could get the same effect on a super small budget with 2 cameras, a filter and some creative problem solving.

One of the best examples of this technique is used in The Beach with Leonardo Dicaprio. He’s walking on the beach at night with a girl and their eyes are squinting in the sun.

Wedding photographers have been using this trick forever. It's used on the first dance. No bride and groom ever wants a well lit room for their first dance . they want the lights low and romantic. So what we do is we start off with the lights low and slowly edge them up to where we can get a decent exposure.

How did they shot the same angle with infrared and non-ir?

Why its so difficult to float in the air when you are under water

i m amature independent videographer and me projects are zero budget most of the time. I rather risk noises with real light than use low budget lightings that looks obvious(in my own projects of course can't risk in client ones)

I love Mad Max Fury Road but I don't think their night scenes were "successful", as the narrator puts it. When I think of that film I just think of how 1/3 of the film is blue because they wanted it to seem like they were traveling at night. The night time is not convincing to me, it feels like they filmed in the daytime and just turned it blue to seem like night, I hate the effect. What they did in Nope though was incredible. Watching that movie for the first time last night on Prime I completely forgot that they recorded it in the daytime even though I had seen this video first. It was a very convincing effect, especially the morning after scene when they were running from the house to the Fry van, it looked so dang good. Even the blood rain scene I forgot that was fake night time, it was incredible cinematography. Mad Mad Fury Road should've kept the film during the day, it looks incredible in all of those shots, but the night time looks fake and takes me out of the film.

👍👍👍

What is 0:45 from?

I would imagine because of the sun?

John Carpenter watching this... "Yawning, yeah sure.. whatever"

Just spitballing here, but is it maybe because of the sun ?

So how did they do the No Country For Old Men night desert chase scene. Was that at night? Cause I was able to see what was going on. Update: I just rewatched the scene. It looked like that one was shot in the day (early morning with overcast at best). My bad.

People talk about how good the day for night was in Nope, but I disagree; While it's better than many other movies, it was still distracting for me.

The other issue they didn't mention is the most obvious one lol, the CGI. Imagine trying to render in an alien nebulus cloud and you can't see jack sh*t. Lighting is really important in Visual Effects, hence why it's shot in the daytime. Game Of Thrones had it easier compared to House Of Dragons because they could just hide some of the actors playing the skeletons and don't render in effects, for the dragon, they'd need to see it though.

Maybe im just picky, but i feel like its so obvious its day for night in Nope. It doesnt look dark, just tinted. A great example for me is the final scene in Sicario. Beautiful dark

How about being able to see and hear a film, unlike most of the current movies

Nope was 100% snubbed at the Oscars. At least deserved nominations for cinematography, VFX, original screenplay, sound editing, and even costume design (but contemporary costume design is always snubbed). What do you know, a movie about how black people's accomplishments in Hollywood being overlooked is being overlooked.

Great video although I must say your explanation of eyes getting used to low light conditions isn’t correct. The pupils adapt their size within a second or two. It’s the chemical processes inside the light-sensitive cells of the retina that take up to 30 minutes for the eyes to get fully adapted. Astronomers and stargazers know this very well from their experience. Once away from the distracting light sources, it takes 30 minutes to be able to see the faintest stars in the sky.

Another thing that movies forget is pupil dilation. Night time you gonna have BIG pupils.

1:15 This is no longer true, many modern cameras have sensors that are much more sensitive to light than the human eye. Sony A7s III for example

The biggest giveaway are the shadows. If you don't have a strong, dominant, direct light source like the sun, the shadows will not be that clear and hard. Day for night just sucks and looks bad most of the times. You just get used to this.

For me, it felt more like an editing issue rather than writing. There were numerous scenes that had weird transitions or felt edited to the point of losing their power. I looked it up and, sure enough, the original cut was longer and the studio insisted Peele cut it down. The Asian Cowboy and film director lost a lot of screen time. Peele's teased a director's cut, but there's never been any confirmation of a release.

Jordan Peele has me SO conflicted : sure, film-lovers have gained much from the enormous talent he brings to his work, but this comes only at the LOSS his extraordinary comic performances. So what this really comes down to, is... ...Is having "Nope" really worth giving up Meegan? 🤔🤔🤔

I hate dark scenes. I could not see the logo on the hat, even in the 2-minute side-by-side comparison.

It's still looked fake as "movie nights". Don't particularly mind... but I actually thought Nope was particularly guilty of this look
