Most of this film is shot in bright sunlight. You can see everything. It's never murky and you just have to guess what's happening. You see every brutal second. When they DO do night scenes, they're gorgeous, HD blue light. And you still see it all. It's such a beautiful film. In ACTION no less. You simply don't see this. It's unreal.
shareIt's amazing what you get when you film something actually happening rather than relying on a computer to fake it for you, then darken it to hide the flaws.
shareMost of this movie is CGI though
shareThat isn't true at all, at least not as it relates to the topic at hand.
shareIt’s true, it has almost as many VFX shots as Avengers Endgame.
shareYou're equating apples and oranges here. Fury Road used CGI the way all films do in the digital era, to adjust colors, create backdrops, and generally fill out the edges. Unlike an Avengers film, or any modern action film, Fury Road filmed real actors performing real stunts using real vehicles and real props. That's why it looks so real, and could be so bright-- because everything you see really happened.
shareNot really. Avengers movies also use “real stunts, vehicles and props,” but they also use a boatload of noticeable CGI to enhance it. Which is also what Fury Road did. There was CGI in virtually every scene, either explosions or people or backgrounds etc. in fact most of the movie was done in front of a green screen.
shareNO...MOST OF IT WAS FILMED IN THE DESERT IN NAMIBIA...AND THE EFFECTS SHOTS WERE..."The extensive effects work included altering lighting and time of day, weather effects, terrain replacement and plate composition."
shareIncluded, but not limited to. A lot of explosions were CGI, stunts were CGI enhanced to give it a more cartooney look. They still filmed in Namibia, but a lot of it was green screen. Kinda like how the Force Awakens was filmed in the Arabian desert but still used a ton of CGI and green screen as well.
Also why are you breaking your rule and not writing in all caps? Hypocrite much?
YOU DON'T SEEM TO KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT...ANYTHING.
shareGeorge Miller himself has said 90% of the film is practical effects.
shareYeah he would, he’s trying to market his movie. Spielberg and Lucas said the same thing about Crystal Skull (hint: they were lying).
shareThey might have been, but I don't think Miller was.

I’m not saying he’s “lying,” but he was distorting the truth. The reality is the movie has over 2000 VFX shots. A lot of that goes towards the explosions and effects you see in the movie. Fury Road has about as many “practical stunts” as your average Marvel movie, it’s just the rest is done by computers.
shareA lot of the explosions were practical though. Like the guitar that shoots flames. It was a guitar that actually shot flames.
shareExcept the night scenes look like they were filmed during day time and then ran it through a blue filter.
Mostly because that's how they did it.
Yeah, but they sure look cool. I love that one scene where they balance the blue with the natural flame. Just gorgeous.
shareI can't agree on that. It just looks like day with a blue filter, i.e. cheap AF. But I have a problem with whole "Night is day, but blue" thing that movies use, not just in Fury Road. But I have to accept it since we have no good way of shooting during actual night time.
shareThe problem is the shadows are all wrong. That's why it looks so weird.
shareYes. That is one of the many reasons I love this movie. It's just gorgeous to look at.
