Recreating Infrared Shots From DUNE: Part 2

Dune: Part II was recently released in theaters, garnering positive reviews from movie-goers and reviewers alike. Here at Kolari, we were hyped to see infrared photography used in one of its most visually-stunning movie sequences in recent memory. Infrared has a long history in cinema, but is often used for technical purposes or special effects behind the scenes. Only an infrared specialist would be able to detect the use of infrared in these scenes, which is why we were so excited to see Dune showcase the true aesthetic possibilities of infrared cinematography. This inspired us to try and recreate the look ourselves using a Kolari modified full spectrum Canon R6 and a Kolari 720 NM filter.

Your demonstration on eyelights vs no eyelights really made me realize how important every detail is, as it really does make a huge difference that we don't usually think about. I'm in awe in how much work goes into filming.

Maybe I'm wrong, but Infrared doesn't seem to interact with skin the same way the visible light spectrum does, there is less to no subsurface scattering happening with infrared light, making the skin look clay-like, less human.

This is such a high-value video. It is so educational to see detail by detail how you recreate that seemingly simple shot.

Awesome. Also I keep wondering how come the rubber prosthetics over Feyd-Rautha and Baron' didn't impact the IR emission compared to their faces, like their heads and foreheads wouldn't react like normal skin.

The part about eye-light is very shocking to me, how can such a little detail change so drastically the portrayal of a scene? Definitely want to know more about those film-making tricks.

@KrekEdits 2 ай бұрын

even if the viewer doesn't pick up on small details like that, the brain does subconsciously, while saying it drastically affects the scene is a bit of an exaggeration it definitely contributes - movies are full of tiny tricks like that to coerce the viewer into feeling a certain way

I heard that in another movie, they had an eyelight, then turned it off when the character died. Somehow that worked.

I'm very impressed by your explanation of your process. you take a lot of time with something that I've always considered key--that the best way to get an image you want is being able to describe it well, before you can figure out how to make it happen.

Much appreciated! It is the most important part!

I see a similar effect of The Engineer, in the movie Prometheus (2012). That almost translucent skin is unique. Having blonde or light coloured eyelashes helps. Avoiding reflections on the eye leaves them looking soulless.

Love the video! Also, I am not sure they used filtration on these, they may have but i believe they just used an infrared modded arri 65 for the infrared capturing, in which they removed the infrared limiter. There are some great interviews with DP greig fraser about it.

100% - the same exact camera was used for Loyle Carner’s “Nobody Knows” video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocd0mrdo3JrIdZs.htmlsi=F_bplW-_F8K6AHcm

@kolarivision1674 2 ай бұрын

They removed the internal IR-blocking filter known as a "hot mirror." Without that internal hot mirror, the camera captures IR, visible, and UV light (similar to this 2:08). To achieve the desired effect, they used an infrared filter after removing the hot mirror to cut out UV & visible light and hone in on a specific IR wave-length, creating the black and white look seen in Dune.

It's seems to be film light (LED / HDMI / TUNGSTEN) + small infrared light shot to the face of the subject (as seen on the making of).

@SF_Channel_05 2 ай бұрын

I am thinking about using this at night possibly for a fantasy/sci-fi short but wonder, can these lenses allow for more definition in low light? I shoot with an FX3 for context. I’d also be shooting in the woods or country with lots of foliage.

I was skeptical at first, but that's pretty impressive. Do you guys make 46mm infrared filters? I would be interested to see what it would look like on a drone

@kolarivision1674 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the compliment! In fact, we have 46mm infrared-size filters: kolarivision.com/product/kolari-pro-gen-3-infrared-lens-filter/ and we also sell drone filters: kolarivision.com/product-tag/drone-and-gopro-filters/

how much light do you feel was lost when shooting with led?

@djlemma 2 ай бұрын

I did pretty much this exact thing the weekend after the movie came out. Actually bought eyebrow blocker prosthetics as a cosplay test, put an IR filter on my camera, and did a little shoot. I don't have an IR converted DSLR so the effect wasn't as good, but shooting B&W at high ISO with a strobe as a light source worked okay. The eyebrow prosthetics sucked, though. I need to find a better solution.

@XEKsDREAMS Ай бұрын

Is it necessary to transform the camera or is it enough to put the filter on the lens?

@phunkym8 Ай бұрын

i had no idea that infrared photography exists. how would the giedi prime scenes have looked if it was just shot regularly? i assume it takes more than just setting the saturation slider to zero. could this look be achieved by just tinkering in the video editing software?

@gedion4000 Ай бұрын

would you reccomend a full spectrum camera to do nowmal film production and the occasional jaunt into IR/UV film work, or would it be too cumbersome to have additional filters to essentially make this a normal camera on the daily?

@kolarivision1674 Ай бұрын

We would 100% recommend a full spectrum conversion. Everything we film on this channel is with a full spectrum camera and a hot mirror. It varies between cameras but with our clip-in filters and other form factors it is incredibly simple to put in a hot mirror and forget it is there until you want to remove it.

@adventuresofjandk 8 күн бұрын

I want to convert my canon T7i to shoot IR. Can the filters allow for both color and b&w or do I have to choose one or another.

@kolarivision1674 7 күн бұрын

If you get a full spectrum conversion your camera is able to capture ultra-Violet, visible, and infrared light. That means depending on the filter you choose you can shoot black and white IR, false color IR, normal visible light, and UV.

@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4250 Ай бұрын

So if I have a BMPCC6kPro I just need one of these filters to achieve a similar look?

No you will need to have a dedicated infrared or full-spectrum conversion done on your camera. Learn more here kolarivision.com/full_spectrum_conversion

Did you guys had to change anything in the sensor of the camera? or you can get infrared by just using the filter?

Hi Lucas, it's a full-spectrum modified camera. If you're interested, you can learn more here: kolarivision.com/full_spectrum_conversion/

The colors will be very different. For example, foliage will look white in infrared but dark grey on traditional black and white

@sss1029 2 ай бұрын

things look different in IR, some things are also a lot more visible when filmed in infrared, most commonly things like veins and so on. It looks pretty different, skin looks more "powdered" and smooth, eyes look glazed over

Fraser said that the alexa 65 has an anti infrarred filter, so they removed it and the camera could already record in infrared natively

Sadly, if a big production like Dune uses something, it then becomes painfully derivative to that production if used after by someone else - homage or not. People will just say 'Oh they're just ripping off Dune'. Remember the Matrix killed off a lot of methods and genres for that very reason.
