Absolutely! When a filmmaker spots a canyon that looks like a giant mouth, it instantly feels like a place where a hero’s internal battle can unfold. The way sunrise turns the rock into amber fire or sunset bathes it in cool blue is basically a character in the scene. I love to color‑code those light moments in my notes—just so I can track how the shadows on the cliffs mirror the character’s tension. Even my spreadsheet that tries to rate directors can’t keep up with all those dramatic lighting tricks. If you watch closely, the way the light moves along the fissures can make the stones feel like they have their own backstory, and that’s why a 24‑fps frame rate often lets the shadows creep slow enough to read each pebble’s drama. It's like a geological novel, but captured in a single frame.
