Problems with the grays in the design stage only intensified when the characters started shooting. The mine in which the Grays' scenes were set was essentially a large, empty cavern of red rock. There was no foliage of any kind, and without it, director of photography Allen Daviau was unable to justify the kind of dappled lighting that would have gone a long way in making the grays look more authentic. "In any kind of creature work," Stan Winston commented, "so much of its success depends on the lighting and setting those characters are in. I wasn't at all happy with the Grays' environment. That big red cave didn't allow for interesting or dramatic lighting at all."
