Why The Handmaid’s Tale Looks like a Painting | Cinematography Breakdown

[@dashwoodfox]

I did a lot of gripping on season 2 of Handmaid's Tale and it was a great experience. One of my favourite shows I've worked on because of the extensive lighting.

[@indymogul]

Any cool stories on set that you can share??

[@JohnnyNiteTrain]

That scene inDC, where they pull out and the angel wings from the statue “fit” her. Genius

[@SonerBaysal]

The Handmaid's Tale scenes hooked me right away. I liked the look of it . Also it is really noticeable that they thought a lot about some of the scenes. It is pleasing to watch those scenes. It is a nice show which is pleasing eyes and makes the audience think. I like the dose of the drama on it and those face shots are sick! Man i like that show...

You guys make some of the best resources for new and old filmmakers to learn from! Thank you again for these amazing videos!

[@cinnamon9390]

It's such an underrated channel / series

[@JohnnyNiteTrain]

I concur!!! New subscriber

I remember a few rigging days on season 2 on this show. rigging skypanels over every window. And i remember Colin and the Gaffer would come in once in a while and test various punchy tungsten sources through windows. Neat episode!

LITERALLY MY VISUAL REFERENCE FOR ALMOST EVERY FILM I MAKE.

[@jona.vagabond]

Crazy value in these videos. Thank you Ted and others working on it!

[@indymogul]

Glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Love this. Being a big fan of The Handmaid's Tale and a film maker this was especially interesting and inspiring. Experiment, baby, experiment.

[@kylelowe]

Great convo! I would have loved to hear more about his collaboration with Reed. She's an excellent cinematographer in her own right and Colin's collaboration with her and the other directors would have been super insightful.

[@indymogul]

Colin said that it was very a pleasant collaboration with Reed since she knows exactly what she wants in color and shot selection, given her mastery of cinematography as well!

[@CineStructure]

So incredibly informative and interesting! This show is one of our favorites in terms of its overall production design and cinematography. It was a real treat to hear more about it from Colin Watkinson himself!

[@DiganntSurti]

Mr. Ted you are doing an amazing job. Even in lockdown period we are gaining so much of knowledge from these videos. After watching this, I got an urge to watch his 2006 film, 'The Fall'.

[@dariusryankadem]

Fantastic mate! Thank you for sharing Ted, you have such legendary guests!

[@sachureedas]

You guys are honestly the best. Thank you for creating these videos.

[@JC-pg3cy]

Awesome video ! Very interesting. Its clearly evident they took impeccable care with the video design and cinematrography

[@NIKONGUY1960]

When you don’t notice the lighting is when they’ve done their job well. This was very motivating.

[@FunkyDude0707]

I was fan of Ted even when he was AputureTED 😊😊

[@JohnathandosSantos]

Ted seems like a cool guy!

[@JimRobinson-colors]

Always wondered why when the characters went to Toronto, that the look didn't reflect that change - Canada being the more normal and escape route for the characters, why not grade it to be more normal looking? And then the viewer would then feel it, as they cut from Canada back to the hell that was before. Same with the flashbacks - before all this happened.

[@colinwatkinson2584]

Such a great question. So much deliberating about this. When Fred and Serena go to Toronto on a diplomatic trip, we decided, because the story being told in those scenes was from Serena's perspective, that we stay with the Gilead grade and composition style. Serena didn't drop her guard and we wanted to express that. The next time Serena was back in Toronto was episode 5 season 3, when she meets Luke with the baby and dresses in Canadian clothes, thus dropping her guard. This time I felt it was right to go to the 'real' world grade (okay almost) with handheld photography.. Also, maybe you feel the grades between the real world and Gilead are not far apart enough ever, also another discussion.

[@d3a1990]

This is fascinating.
