Once again Rob, exelent work 😊 thank you so much🙏

Thesedays everybody is just buying an FX3 and shooting at night 😅 Great video man! it's tricky to pull of a night look and you're nailing it!

thank for for this, I found value in it 😌

Cool tutorial. Thanks, Rob.

I am absolutely blown away by this video, Rob... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 😀

Which tool did you use to "bring down the sky"?

Bro this is epically good, subscribed!

Love it! Thank you guys and your course was amazing 🙏🏻💪🏻

WB in camera 5600 ?

nah this is so crazy, the amount of detail and meanings behind your words are incredible. you're so talented and thank you for the tutorial ill for sure have to try this out.

Being blind, I approve this.

I've found out for photos, when the sun is between mid noon and sunset with uv index below 5 and clear sky; got the best results for me.

amazing thank you

Amazing

great video. y so serious?

the only thing left out/not mentioned is the ambient sound, if you are in a Forrest and you hear birds chirping you will think its day, hearing crickets makes it feel like night.

gran video perro,gracias.

Always an exciting day when Rob releases a new video. 🔥

Love that you use the Blackmagic cams!

Some of the best DFN I've seen in a while! 🙌🏾🔥

I'm alredy looking foward for your new videos. Your work has been an amazing source on the subject. Thank you for your effort.

Looks alright but Day for Night never really works. It's always obvious IMO

shout out to the sun and moon being similar sizes for us. the sheer coincidence that the moon fits within the sun too... is very weird

♥🔥

Thank you 🙏

Interesting to get this as my recommended; I have been thinking about day for night shooting for just the last few days since I for some reason came to think about me trying to say the exact same thing as you on r/cinematography on Reddit but getting downvoted into oblivion for it. The sun and the (full) moon do light up the earth in the exact same way with the only difference being amount of light and white balance where the moon is actually warmer than the sun, it's just as you're saying our eyes dark vision seeing it as blue. So yeah we need to get the exposure down and change the white balance to get the a day shot to look like night, but it would also help to add noise since that's what we're used to see when shooting at night for real. Also crushing the blacks by bringing up the contrast, and adding artificial lights on both the subject but also in the background will convince us fully that it's a real night shots. You shouldn't even have to darken the sky like you do, or like they did in Nope with that IR footage (that only made sense in Ad Astra for those moon shots) since that's just not physically correct, but of course it can help to get a bit better looking image if that's what your after :) Anyways, you did some really good explaining here, hope those downvoting Redditors get to see this :D

Amazing, as always. Your youtube channel literally changed my life. Thanks for bringing such an amazing content for all of us!

7:29 I'm sure that mosquito got toasted

0:06 bro got Alec Baldwined 💀

One of my favorite channels on KZbin ❤ Thanks for the good work man. God bless you.

What a video man, love the creativity and thought process to make decisions about how and why something works, making analogies about real world light, sun and moon, gives a more accurate understanding. I'm testing lowering WB on camera since mine doesn't have raw, or even log, but it always seems that doing that raises noise more than the opposite. I have read an article that said that camera sensors are less sensitive to blue light, if that is the case, is it better to have the cooler light on scene if possible?

Amazing Video!

This is a very well thought video, saved as a reference video (rarely add video to that playlist). But owning an A7SIII I might try to buy the Laowa 35mm f0.95 and see if I can squeeze natural night shots with no additions at 51,200-102,800 ISO. Tried 100K ISO and it looked relatively acceptable and good with an f2.8 lens and could go to 409K of course but adding more noise.

Love it.

gem of youtube

I asked, you answered...thank you good sir!

This was really good. Thanks

GREAT VIDEO, do you recommend having a LUT on camera to view it? i also use the same camera, how do you recommend setting it up in Davinci? only lower exposure, cold temperature

Interesting video. Cheers from Melbourne Australia.

Probably one of the best day-for-night videos I’ve seen!

Brilliant explanation of the sun's light and the ambient light in the shadows at 1:45. Great job, brother!

Time to stop directly talking to us as we're starting to feel like you're a lovely bloke. Bring back Mystical Rob!

Great video Thanks for your work. I have learned a ton from you.

Something to keep in mind is to try and hide the iris of the actor's eyes, as that isn't something you can easily fix in post with day for night. You can see it in your example shots. The trick would be to keep the face well enough lit to convey the purpose of the scene but hiding enough so you don't realise easily that it was shot day for night. Less is more.

Excellent walkthrough. Thank you!

I really really love this. For some reason, I just couldn't wrap my head around doing day for night on a small budget. Thank you for always hitting us with the best lighting content!!

Bro you’re giving free masterclasses. Thanks for your every video❤ From 🇮🇳

Love the video as always, i´ve recently been investigating the technique Jarin Blaschke used in The Northman for achiving realistic nightime, he use a custom made cyan filter and desaturate it in post, it also ment that he had to compensate for the warm tones makening them a lot more red. There is a very cool article in the American Cinematographer about it.

As someone who's contemplating shooting a short film next week at a location at night or doing it day for night, this was something I really needed to see today.

You maniac genius! 🤜🤛
