Dune Part Two: Infrared Effect Cinematography

First off, I feel I can finally write about this because I've seen the movie twice and been blown away both times. Looks incredible in IMAX. But, I wanted to touch upon the Infrared of the Giedi Prime sequences.

In order to keep this to Blackmagic Cameras, I'm curious to know if anyone here has done Infrared shooting with the Blackmagic Cameras?

Ever since seeing Soy Cuba I've been fascinated by infrared cinematography for narrative purposes. And, Dune Part Two emphasized how brilliantly it can be used.

What's your favorite use? Would be great to play with it on some of the BMD cameras.

I was thinking about buying a infrared filter.

I have used it with the original BMPCC, which had very weak infrared filtering. Of course, you'll need a filter blocking visible light and letting through IR. In strong daylight it worked pretty well.
While such film stock was initially made for the military and difficult to get or expensive, it's easy with silicon. CMOS sensors are more sensitive to longer wavelength than shorter ones, that's why OLPFs are usually combined with an IR-blocking filter. With film it was the other way around, it was more sensitive to short wavelengths, that's why there were filters like skylight or such, blocking UV.

There used to be a Red, err Nikon, camera without IR filtering in B&W. I'll check if I find one of our images.
Found it, here you go:

With an URSA I would suggest no OLPF or ND filters as these may block the IR. And yes do use a filter similar to a Hoya R72 Infrared Filter.
