    Glad someone finally broke this down for the masses. This show does NOT get the credit it deserves on a cinematic level. Especially when it comes to staging. Howard hawks would be balking at some of these lighting setups. Truly masterful, and BOLD, too. God damn.

    • @samgoldstein1993
      @samgoldstein1993 4 роки тому +5

      I mean, maybe not from audiences, but it certainly gets plenty of recognition for its cinematography at the critical level.

    This is one of the few shows where the visuals actually had me standing up and yelling at the screen because of how good it was. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did just getting the chance to just sit and listen to him.

    • @sashayy1232
      @sashayy1232 4 роки тому +17

      Yup. It's incredible. From cinematography to costume, to acting talent to script dialogue, even music, recreation of vintage scenes, incl. authentic Vintage cars. The colors they replicated are off the charts of meticulous accuracy.

    • @constancemiller3753

      I enjoy watching how they did it as much as the show itself.

      Yep, I've rewound bits just to process them properly. It's mind blowing! I get to the end of a tracking bit and realise I've held my breath the whole time.

    I have been watching TV for 60 years... Mrs. Maisel is the only show I have ever seen that the only way I can describe it is..... BEAUTIFUL.... The locations are BEAUTIFUL, The costumes are BEAUTIFUL, the camera movement and lighting are BEAUTIFUL, and the serious use of wide locations with many other extras in the background are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! In this third season, I cannot express how I am awed in every scene by the scope and the color... As a TV watcher, I almost feel like I have been blind, and with Mrs. Maisel, I can see COLOR for the first time!!!!! Did I say I LOVE THIS SHOW???

    I worked as a production assistant on season three and it was absolutely mind-blowing being able to see how the entire crew worked together and the million moving parts that make the incredible show. Watching David work made me want to pursue cinematography!

    Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is probably one of the few shows these days that are both shot and acted magnificently! The Handmaid's Tale and Dark are some other gems in terms of cinematography.. would love to see a video or listen to a podcast with their DOP

    • @chaopka
      @chaopka 4 роки тому +7

      Let them know that you'd love to see them on the show! Would be amazing to do a breakdown of The Handmaid's Tale.

    The cinematography in MMM is incredible. Seriously. I could go back and watch both seasons again on mute and just enjoy the visuals. The pastel color palette, the perfectly balanced lighting...it's fantastic.

      @scottslotterbeck3796 4 роки тому +6

      A master at work. He also has an adequate budget. Alexa Mini is a great camera. Used it on my short "Amy's Baby". I was blown away by the beautiful image.

    • @chaopka
      @chaopka 4 роки тому +9

      Such an incredible show. It's honestly mind-blowing how beautiful each and every episode is.

  • @ImaginetMedia

    Genius. It is a brilliant show and seeing the wizard behind the curtain reveal his tricks is awesome. Thanks for sharing this.

  • @wildman2012
    @wildman2012 4 роки тому +11

    One of my most favorite shots is the one of Midge and Benjamin leaving the Catskills in his big red convertible. The camera comes up behind the car, moves over the top and looks down on them (as they are also moving) and then comes down in front of them. Absolutely outstanding!

  • @halfbloodquince
    @halfbloodquince 4 роки тому +106

    Would also recommend the scene where her parents are looking around an empty apartment in Paris - Season 2 Episode 2. Really wonderful one-shot with the added hazard of mirrors on every wall!

    • @CamJames
      @CamJames 4 роки тому +15

      I was specifically looking at the mirrors on the wall and wondering how the hell they were pulling that off. Same for the dancers at the wedding, mirrors on the wall there too.

  • @cassie6645
    @cassie6645 4 роки тому +59

    I have a whole new appreciation for this show. I already loved everything from the costuming, to the music, to the acting and story, but this is something else. The amount of detail and creative thinking it requires to pull off some of these shots that may only last for a few seconds, and usually go unnoticed by the general audience, is amazing! I want to rewatch the entire show now and just focus on the shot composition, because it's so rich!

  • @ChipMatthews
    @ChipMatthews 4 роки тому +45

    The production design, art direction, and cinematography on this show are out of this world.

  • @nivarad
    @nivarad 4 роки тому +31

    There is an amazing transition in season 2 that had me flabbergasted. They are using the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State building symbolizing the movement between paris and nyc, in such a creative way that I’ve never seen before.

    • @CamJames
      @CamJames 4 роки тому +9

      that shot was unbelievable.

    As an aspiring cinematographer , I can't begin to explain to you how helpful these videos are to me and how I never would like this series to stop. I'd be great if we have more and more even longer and in depth videos.
    Your videos are so beautiful to look at, to the point and edited articulately, totally up to date. Thanks for making UA-cam the platform it deserves to be.
    more to see from you x

    I stumbled on Mrs. Maisel quite by accident, and the first thing that struck me was the cinematography. That drew me in, and then the amazing writing and performances kept me coming back. It's one of my favorites for sure.

  • @NIKONGUY1960
    @NIKONGUY1960 4 роки тому +23

    I fell in love with this show within five minutes. It is by far some of the best work out there. And to see the choreography of the cameras is most excellent.

    The Handmaids Tale is also a Classic in Art Direction and Cinematography ... In the last season ... The Use of RED and Camera placements were breath taking. Some of the Frames were ... like a contemporary painting. Absolutely stunning. Please break that down too.

  • @kissedbysun2517
    @kissedbysun2517 4 роки тому +4

    This is fascinating. I love the look and feel of the show, but had no knowledge or understanding of why and all the talent, thought, and effort that goes into it. They do such an amazing job that it's seamless, always adds and never detracts from the show.

    At first I just watched this show because my wife started watching it and then I kept noticing how elaborate the camera work is on this show and really started to enjoy every single episode more and more. Grade A creatives are obviously in control, I can't wait for more of this. Season 3 was incredible just the camera work alone should be award winning.

    This guy is a fucking genius. There's a scene in the new season, at a theatre, where the dancers are in like a doll's house. The camera pans from the seats, through a doll's house room and up the floors. It's absolutely mind blowing how they did that.
