Yeah exactly what I was thinking. What an amazing invention!

saw this in imdb's trivia section, if true it could explain the codec artifacts mentioned by Alex: "Most of the night sequences, specifically those shot out in the Haywood's field, were actually shot in the day with a complex rig built by cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema. These scenes were shot with a normal 5-perf 70mm Panavision film camera and a digital ARRI Alexa 65 camera, modified with the IR filter removed from the sensor to make it sensitive to infrared light, rigged up in a 3D camera rig so they were set to take the same image at once, similar to how van Hoytema shot the lunar chase sequence in Ad Astra (2019). These two images were then composited together to give the night scenes their unique look. In fact, most of these sequences are opened up for IMAX, but were actually shot in normal 5-perf 70mm film in a 2.20:1 aspect ratio and were digitally expanded upon in post. This was done for two reasons: one, there is no digital camera as of yet whose sensor is as big as IMAX film, so the two cameras wouldn't match up perfectly; and two, the skies were already going to be completely digitally replaced for the effects sequences, so that information would've been useless to the filmmakers anyway."

Great show, folks. Following Steven Yeun’s character would have been a much more interesting story. Turned out to be a waste of a role. Maybe the horse title cards are there so we will know their names and not get lost to history. But that didn’t really seem very effective.

PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE VILLAGE!!!!!

I definitely needed the BTS folks to help me organize my thoughts and feelings on this movie. I’m still in denial that I didn’t like it and may give it a rewatch on IMAX. Not trained in post-production work so hope I don’t see any artifacts. And I will laugh so hard if there’s an episode on The Village before The Sixth Sense 😂😂😂

Was dying for this after seeing it this week
