They'd be darkened with a filter later on to simulate night. Due to the limits of 1950s film technology, it was necessary to shot nighttime scenes in full sunlight.
This wasn't a mistake on Wood's part, but a result of his budgetary limitations. Many fans have noted the movie has a timeless quality, as shots change randomly from day to night, often in the same scene.Sometimes it's around 1:75 to 1 (which is close to standard movie width), while in other scenes it's 1:33 to 1 (which is TV format). In typical Woodsian fashion, Plan 9's aspect ratio changes from scene to scene.Was this Ed Wood's attempt at product placement, hoping one of the networks would pony up some dough? They were actual saucer model kits released by the Lindberg Company, and are still available today!ĭuring the scene in which the saucers fly merrily through the skies of LA, they pass over the studios of CBS, NBC and ABC.
Behold the awesome special effects of Plan 9 From Outer Space! Eat your heart out, Infinity War!Ĭontrary to popular belief, Wood did not use hubcaps or pizza pans as the flying saucers.
