🔴Update : Not only Greig Fraser ( DP of DUNE Part II) saw This video, but he loved it !! check the comment here : kzbin.infoUgkxsT9g9dubZ3kz7adws58zzoxbF19ZEpLf Wow ! Internet is so cool

[@NikhilWolf]

I'm not surprised. You are truly incredible :) You deserve all the recognition you can get. Such stunning art. Every shot arrested me.

[@VirtuosityToniLekic]

Hallo Mathieu, does your LUT works for FCPX too? tnx

[@MathieuStern]

@@VirtuosityToniLekic sure !!

[@yugbe]

Thank you, I wondered how they shot that, and you gave the answer. Very appreciated.

[@LaplacianDalembertian]

Next do UltraViolet

[@kayonji]

The photo of your wife was the highlight. Truly mesmerizing and slightly unsettling, I Am Legend vibes hahaha

[@hvanmegen]

also, very pretty pregnant belly.. congratulations on fatherhood.. have 3 kids myself; mothers are a force of nature to behold and respect!

[@mixmashandtinker3266]

Indeed! The beauty of her pregnant body coupled with the IR revealing the veins are spectacular!

[@cooperbeggs]

this is dope. Everything looks like normal b&w, but the water and the trees completely change that. Makes it feel super surreal

[@jmkhenka]

Main issue i have with the use in dune.. if you dont know its IR, it just b/w.. considering the alien location (ie, another planet) you dont really realise why stuff is colored like it is in the movie. Its sad that it was not more apperant.

[@LictordeThrax]

@@jmkhenka I noticed something _different_ . It wasn't *just black and white* to me. Looked special, in a subtle way.

[@Case_]

It mostly looks like "normal" black and white if you don't see people's faces and eyes and lips in particular, which look very different in IR, and also one thing you might only notice if you knew what was being shot is how a lot of clothing appears white or whiteish instead of the color it actually was, including black clothing, which is often really weird. Like my completely black backpack turns completely white in IR photos, except for a few patches where a different material is used which is considerably less reflective to IR light, so it's a lot darker in the images.

[@ParkBURST]

definitely want to see people with different skin colors , and sunscreen

[@Case_]

Skin color or sunscreen don't really have that much of an effect on IR photography. UV, though, is a different story - skin pigmentation (including freckles) gets a lot more pronounced effect and sunscreen tends to look like black shoe polish.

[@supervalentin42]

I always thought IR photography was a very effective way to turn anything "otherworldy". Dune 2 applied that very well. Your footage is amazing. I wish we could see more people playing with IR more often :)

[@DOSStorm]

Yeah its shame that it requires camera modification. Its such a beautiful look.

[@Pleezath]

​​@@DOSStormit's a bit old but get a sony cybershot DCS-F828 or for a cine camera A Panasonic Eva 1

[@DOSStorm]

@@PleezathI'm more into videography but for the price one of those might be fun to mess with.

[@Pleezath]

@@DOSStorm I own a Eva 1 it's still 4k and pretty good but clunky you could get better but yeah it has a removable IR filter (motorized) The Sony one is just for pictures it has a zeiss t* lens ofc and is CCD so you get retro vibe photos if you are into that ( super vibrent colors) the ir filter can be tricked with a neodymium magneet to make ir photos if you put for example a 720nm (pass) ir filter on it

[@DOSStorm]

@@Pleezath Yeah I main a Panny GH5 but I don't really want to mod it just for that purpose.

[@MaxConaghan]

The photo of your wife is absolutely incredible! The beauty and intensity of pregnancy is really perfectly represented. So unique so powerful, truly a fascinating and amazing photo🙏❤️

[@MathieuStern]

Wow, thank you!

[@MapedMod]

I subscribed because of that one photo. Someone who can capture something like this will for sure surprise me more.

[@MaxConaghan]

@@MapedMod true that, a rare and beautiful artist to find

[@Ill_look_back_on_in_disgust]

I also wanted to chime in. That pregnancy shot is what IR is all about. Capturing stuff in a way people have never seen before!

[@wobblysauce]

That it does... More pregnant shoots or gym/exercise.

[@edwindungdung1998]

When you played the cinematic sequence, I was about to mention my favourite shots already. However, as I kept watching, it only got better and better, and It became difficult for me to choose a favourite as all the shots looked beautiful, scenic and surreal.

[@MathieuStern]

Wow, thanks!

[@jango71]

@@MathieuSternDo you know where to get a camera modified in France? I could modify my D200 or D800.

[@Case_]

Been playing around with full spectrum and IR photography for a few years, it's always fascinating. One thing that's also rather interesting is that IR light tends to cut through the atmospheric haze a lot better than visible light, so you get a lot more distant visibility in IR. I shot some photos from an airplane when flying on a vacation and it's like looking at a completely different world, with the far visibility and very contrasting rivers and lakes.

[@Alexander0189]

I dabbled with the idea of buying a cheaper camera that's been converted to IR a few years about but I never pulled the trigger. Maybe now I will! love your videos as always, they're always very interesting and my eyes are GLUED to the screen every time. Your creativity is fantastic, please continue 🙂

[@albarca5084]

[@matttheking1655]

The veins on the baby bump looks fantastic 👌

[@EconaelGaming]

4:54 never realized how acute the angles of veins are, looks a lot like the vessels in leafs

[@EnterTheFenix]

Mans a true artist... he managed to make Paris look beautiful

[@bryanc1]

Everything looks clean and sanatized. It ‘gives an authoritarian feel of everything around in white.

[@katinaswanson6511]

Some plants, especially bee-pollinated flowers, can exhibit additional patterns under NIR imaging. Also, banknotes often have IR countermeasures built in, such as patterns of blanks spaces under IR imaging.

[@noahbirdrevolution]

6:05 definitely looks surreal. Nice work.

[@theghostsofgiants]

If you can build a rig to do it you should try the Nope infrared day for night technique (I think it was two cameras mounted perpendicular recording through 45º one-way glass, one recording colour, one recording infrared)

[@NecrogardeScynthrax]

A Timelapse of the sky in Infrared from day to night would be amazing.

[@robert3333]

Another film which used IR a lot is Soy Cuba (1964). I can highly recommend it, as you can see IR used in less controlled environments than in Dune (also it was shot with the legendary Kinoptik 9.8mm).

[@blahpunk1]

What a great experiment! The way the body changes during pregnancy is incredible and the IR shot captures the magnitude of that.

[@Alfadrottning86]

Beautiful. Many scenes have a melancholic, almost retro-futuristic look about them with the sterility of buildings and nature. I utterly love it.

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Cool effect. Just remember to make sure your shutter speed matches the fps of the video. The trains have a jump every second where they software is missing a frame.

[@bubiorbi9818]

wow. just wow. I have never wanted to shoot b/w images that bad. it just looks so incredible! respect man absolutely astonishing work!

[@Azeltix]

Cette photo de ta femme est incroyable ! Et si elle a déjà accouché, félicitations !!! J’espère que tout se passe bien.

[@Photo-Jay]

Infrared Anamorphic B&W video on a consumer camera and gear.. True end game is here folks.

[@realFUGAR]

if the gear came without the filter built in yes

[@StephenStrangways]

This was possible over 20 years ago with Panasonic video cameras, or Sony bridge cameras.

[@MrHaggyy]

Would be fascinating to blend IR with the visible spectrum. Especially for prey and hunter cinematic, as most preditors can look further into IR than we can. You would need a full-spectrum camera and filter in a digital format like fourier order waveform. For pure IR it's definitely architecture and pictures of body. The proportions are so much clearer.

[@Zaire82]

This black and white is much more interesting than the usual kind.

[@DallasRabot]

Would like to see how black, brown and asian people look on camera up close.

[@champagnesocialist9301]

The film “I am Cuba” (1964) has a stunning 20-ish minute sequence shot on infrared film stock. Watch it 😊

[@Tondadrd]

It's amazing that we put R G & B filters so the photos look more realistic. To learn that basic camera would capture infra red too is cool. Weren't infra red cameras expensive though? Anyway, anything camera captures is shown to us through false colours, so it's not like people keep infra red pictures from us. We wouldn't see them. Some animals would.

[@NaudRuun]

Woow! just woow! Loved the IR shots. All of them. Especially the Paris shots are awesome! Also congrats on the baby! Hope the baby and the mother are in perfect health. May the baby Stern have an ultra beautiful long life with you and your loved ones.

[@ArbitraryArbiter]

Most beautiful thing I've seen in years

[@StefanNoack]

What does it look like at night?

[@AryaStarky]

look up some security camera footage, a lot of them use IR at night actually.

[@ricksgrandauditorium8790]

Your good. I know nothing about photography but I know your good. Well done mate.

[@MathieuStern]

Wow, thank you

[@steelframe]

I remember trying IR film 55 years ago. Cameras back then had an infrared focus adjustment symbol on the lens. I assume modern digital cameras take care of this automatically. At the time I worked in a film lab and could experiment with all kinds of alternative processing experiments like printing B&W negatives on color paper or running color or B&W film through slide film chemistry. Some of the results were remarkable, but sometimes cross contamination would occur. I had to make sure to play with these things just before a scheduled chemical change. Infrared was always surprising. Fun times. Beautiful video.

[@misterpaulggftw9103]

Absolutely amazing pictures, and of course stunning content as always. Congrats on your baby as well Mathieu❤

[@MathieuStern]

Thank you so much!

[@misterpaulggftw9103]

stay safe Mathieu and to your family, always looking forward to your great and inspiring content.

[@kyoyeou5899]

I was really confused how they did their black qne white because it really looks unique, then I tried to understand why it was in a question of lore like that because its so different

[@user-xv5iw5zh4m]

been using personal DVRs (like the police use) for like 10 years, and they have a built in IR-filter toggle feature. The quality of the sensor is no 8k, but you can definitely have a look at the world from another perspective.

[@whistlestopwonders]

This is fantastic. A really beautiful short film in Paris. Well done!

[@Subgunman]

Kinda reminded me of my senior year in high school some 50 years ago when I was using a Kodak IR film to shoot landscape images. It’s too bad that these films are no longer available but I still hav3 my Kodak IR reference book on shooting in IR. It was also used in medical photography in the past as well.

[@TheFlyingDogFish]

Great stuff. In Dune it was hard to tell it was infrared, because of the lack of vegetation and water.

[@airruner]

Amazing results!

[@MathieuStern]

Thank you!

[@tinosiocon]

It is beautiful. Thanks for the long sample clip.

[@Evan-tp7ur]

I recognized the infrared footage because of the previous videos I watched on your channel! Keep up the good work bro

[@erikandersenphoto631]

This is brilliant. I’m very tempted to try. Thank you for showing us Paris in this way.

[@denvera1g1]

I personally like UV for people for the way it makes skin look so different on people as well as how much it changes the appearance of plants and animals. but i think it would be cool to get UV and IR composite.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Careful with the clothing you point that at, some items that are opaque to the regular human spectrum, are translucent in IR. You can use security cameras as IR lights, some are almost the equal of 1k spots, but in IR. Some 'Action' cameras with M12 lenses, the IR cut filter is often in the lens, so you can unscrew the lens, pop out the filter, and screw the lens back in and get back to filming. Most security cameras have a filter that you can hear being moved out of the light path, which can be set as a mode in the webconsole.

[@cleanthegreen]

IR filter would be greatly beneficial to the medical field. Making it easier for Phlebotomists, Nurses, and etc to hit veins.

[@K0wp3R]

Giedi prime looks like if their sun only emitted a single wavelength (the sun emits a rather large spectrum, allowing colors, whereas a laser only shoots one wavelength, you can only change the intensity), but a wavelength of white (which isn't possible), which is why it looks so weird, not just like a black and white filter. we just aren't used to the intensity change we get from the infrared (single wavelength) vision, which is very different from just a white and black filter.

[@alibulutkarabulut1037]

i wish the best for your family, your baby, your work and eventially to you Mathieu. God speed, good fortune, good life sir

[@TheMatthew393]

The shots with the tree leaves are STUNNING. I hope to see this technique used in more film!

[@Embassy_of_Jupiter]

[@MathieuStern]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@janprochazka4901]

Your short film is simply stunning. If I could suggest any topic for a future video, it would be a time-lapse, particularly of clouds. Infrared makes them pop more, which makes it ideal.

[@KinGlamour]

[@champagnesocialist9301]

Looks great. A super simple (and now cheap) non-destructive alternative to shoot “cinema infrared” is with any Red DSMC2 camera and a kippertie full spectrum OLPF.

[@SatanSupimpa]

Ironically just cropping the image to 2.39:1 would better match the Dune 2 wide look, because they didn't use anamorphic lenses for the second movie.

[@EnerGeezerSquirrel]

...and would have avoided the soft edges in those ana-shots.

[@kyllersurprise]

J'ai adoré ce passage dans le film. Et voir notre monde comme s'il était éclairé par un soleil noir, c'est vraiment trop beau. Merci.

[@PeterR0035]

Beautiful hauntinglike pictures and video, thank you! I guess I could get a similar anamorphic result with a shift/tilt lens? I really should go and see the Dune part 2 movie before it disappears from the theatre...

[@StephenStrangways]

It depends on what you think the anamorphic effect is. If you think it's the horribly blurry left and right edges of the frame, that's not really the look of anamorphic lenses used for movies - that's the look of a low-quality anamorphic adapter.

[@BenjiSun]

I had my Canon G12 altered for IR720 around 12 years ago by LifePixel. I have almost forgotten about it since 2020 but this video made me remember how fun it was to shoot with that camera. I should bring it out of the dry cabinet again.

[@ilikecheese4518]

[@hailhorkos2327]

I love your footage of Paris. I've been doing some infrared photography for about a year but haven't tried such a high filter yet, 720nm has been my limit. This definitely makes me want to try.

[@MathieuStern]

Go for it!

[@Bourinos02]

Intéressant, je ne savais pas que ce genre de filtres étaient disponibles pour "le grand public".

[@joesouthwell4080]

Something about the way the sky looks gives the sense that you're never fully outside, like there's some faint massive interior you're always inside.

[@j.m.w.5064]

The vista of the poeple on the stairs at 08:04 is one of the most captivating wide angle shots I have seen. I want that as a poster on my wall. Strangly there doesn't seem to be that much in the frame but everything can... breathe. I'm addicted to this. Cudos.

[@ansenvideoproduction]

That's just BEAUTIFUL

[@Theexplorographer]

Lol, I made my first IR camera by removing the hot filter from a Sony a55 Translucent Mirror camera years ago. I replaced the hot filter with a 720nm filter that I hand cut from an old screw on IR filter I had. The camera still works well to this day, and I do shoot with it once in a while. Also, conversion here in the states is not expensive and you CAN revert a camera after the hot filter has been removed.
