“The cliches of the genre were to desaturate the cinematography. So [George Miller] and great Australian cinematographer John Seale (dragged out of retirement), saturated the color. ‘We were able to change the skies, and go against the idea that because it’s the apocalypse, there’s no longer any beauty in the world.‘” - Anne Thompson, Film Columnist
“The desert sand in Namibia is, in reality, closer to be gray color, but pushing it toward rich gold colors complemented the characters and vehicles, providing a strong, graphic look. The only other dominant color in the film was blue sky, which we embraced.“ - Eric Whipp, Senior Colorist
