Chris Miller has shared a video of the astrophage shower sequence in ‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ being created in real-time.
This practical method was primarily used for close-up shots of Grace during the sequence.
The astrophage space scene in ‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ was created by tiny LEDs placed on chicken wire that were used while pouring water in front of the lens to refract the light.
It was then shot with an Alexa LF camera with the infrared filter removed.
