Most of the night sequences, specifically those shot out in the Haywoods' 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.
