Camera work in Severance S2 premiere

If you’ve watched the first few minutes of the season two premiere, you might be like me… thinking “How’d they do that?”

This invention made Disney millions, but then they lost it. SODIUM VAPOR!

This invention made Disney millions, but then they lost it. This video shows while shooting the use of SODIUM VAPOR compared to the Green Screen, and why using Green Screen certain collours in the final image are lost, but not using the  SODIUM VAPOR method.
