), said:"There’s no way to photograph this, this feeling of vastness, and grandeur of the sky, which was such a big part of our story. We kind of immediately started thinking ‘How can we portray exactly that feeling that we have when we were out there in the field?'
"I started very much exploring the technology, how can we do this? How can we photograph in the way eyes see it or the way that we experience it?" Peele and Hoytema then came up with a solution by combining two cameras — one that shot infrared light with a narrow bandwidth, and one that captured 70mm film. They then would overlay the images, with the infrared capturing how people’s eyes respond to darkness and light at nighttime. The pair then used the film camera to capture all the colour and grain information they wanted for the shot, resulting in the memorable nighttime cinematography seen in the film.
“It’s really cool s***,” Peele said. “This thing really pushes film forward, and was difficult and it’s something that I’m excited to work with in the future and continue to push.”.
