Is tech the way?
Added 2024-03-07 09:12:01 +0000 UTCAs I posted a couple of days ago, I am trying to push myself creatively and explore new visual ideas. Part of my curiosity inspired by Dune Part Two were the scenes filmed in Infrared which changed everything to an incredibly rich and ethereal black and white.
I'm very keen to work out if that is a look I could try and replicate somehow. I can't really afford to be buying infrared cameras on a whim for an experiment but I'm sure there are ways to try and fake the concept.
An infrared camera looks for low-frequency electromagnetic radiation felt as heat and transforms it into an image. It doesn't need light to be able to record images. It only needs heat. Therefore, infrared photography is used whenever your object of interest is not visible, but it emits heat. It's not recording how something looks so much and that is why the sky and water go much darker than they appear in reality.
It could be a fun thing to play with.
