Today, I’m talking with cinematographer Adam McDaid, and production designer Joshua Petersen. Together these two helped create the world of the new Freeform 1/2 hour comedy, EVERYTHING’S TRASH created by Phoebe Robinson.
Most people don’t realize, these artists are the right and left hand of a director or a showrunner. While creators imagine a world in their head, a production designer builds it, and the cinematographer films it.
They make art exist in the most concrete way.
At its best, the cinematographer & production designer are working in total harmony to develop a color palette, textures, lighting, and all of the details that make something that is inherently artificial, totally real.
This is a great talk about filmmaking and process, and how every artist has a different way into their art.
