      Hi Roger,

      I am doing some research on Day for Light filming for class, and I was wondering if you could tell me about the filming process for the Desert Chase at Dawn scene in No Country for Old Men? Was this filmed during the day?

        There’s a whole description and breakdown on your question in the looking at light section- NCFOM. It’s pretty thorough and should answer all you questions for the scene. Cheers.

          I typed a long reply and by the time I hit “submit” the website software didn’t accept it I guess! It disappeared!

            I tried again — I give up! I guess it doesn’t like me putting images into the text.

                OK, one image works…

                  OK, so three images didn’t work, I guess two is the limit.

                  Anyway, for the third time… I don’t think that chase scene in NCFOM is an example of day for night, it’s a night for night scene that goes into twilight for breaking dawn. The frames I just posted above are from “Yellow Sky” (1948), which has a lot of day for night shot on b&w infrared film by Joseph MacDonald. One artifact is that Gregory Peck’s black shirt goes grey due to IR pollution from the dyes in the fabric.
