Cinematographer Greig Fraser ACS, ASC breaks down the visual and lighting approach behind Dune: Part Two, from the film’s colour journey (Caladan to Giedi Prime to Arrakis) to the practical challenge of creating realistic “sun” on set.
Fraser talks about building sharp, clean shafts of light, the problem of matching (or augmenting) the sun, and how the team used Creamsource Vortex fixtures, culminating in a custom build of 64 Vortex8 units (the “Vortex 512”) to create an intense, controllable sun source for Arrakis.
