I watched an interview where Eric Whipp, the colorist of Mad Max explained a few things about these day for night scenes (in fury road)… Here’s some of the points I found really interesting and wanted to share… he said that one of the main reasons they went for the day for night look was because the shoot was predominantly done in an open desert kind of an area where they have tons of continuously moving vehicles (that too fast)… it gets very difficult to light up a scene appropriately with such complex movements in the night…you’ll loose a lot of details in the shadows and on top of that they would have to deal with all that noise (no matter how fancy a camera is you basically can’t get rid of noise)… so they instead thought of going for that day for night look…he asked them to shoot all the scenes “overexposed” so that later in post they have a lot of room to play around with the shadows and bring down the overall exposure without loosing any significant details specially in the lower end of the image… also they did the sky replacement in most of the scenes to make the sky look believable… and in some of the scenes, Eric made the sun look like the moon instead…. Genius…isn’t it?🥹 BTW your rendition of the day for night was really cool…i thought it was an actual day4nyt scene from the movie until you turned off all the adjustments 😹
Hey is it possible to actually go through the step by step tut on how to get this Day for Night Grade on those same clips you showed us? It's really believable
Thanks! I hope to do a tutorial style video in the future on D4N stuff. For now the essential elements I did in this video was basically drop the exposure, desaturate, and push blue into the image
Your channel is great and I just wanted to say I was here before you became more famous. Keep doing this great content! I like the style, the tone and the info. I don’t think there’s anything to improve just keep working and giving us this great content and it’ll hopefully show up in the future Oh, and for sure, you have a new subscriber 🎉

Thanks for the tip! I’ve got some recent footage from Death Valley that I’ll have to try to convert to D4N. No sky in the frame so it should be easy.

Appreciate the kind words! Welcome!
I saw that interview and found the whole no-headlights thing real interesting and never even thought about that detail while watching those movies.
Yeah, those practical lights can really screw up a D4N look
There are a lot of headlights in Fury Road. The Bullet Farmer's track vehicle Even has a spotlight. It looks like they masked off the warm lights
It's been too long since I've seen Fury Road but that makes sense 👍🏻 Probably mix of masking and VFX
He also said that he really liked Sky replacement for continuity in action scenes i wouldnt be surprised if they also did it in the night scenes
💯
NOPE did this brilliantly as well, also paying tribute to the classic westerns and giving us probably the best looking day for night to date
Love it!
cool!
