Amazon's original The Expanse has some crazy cinematography, and joining us to day is the show's very own DP Phil: 15: 00 This is one of the best behind the scenes I've. seen? I'm in props & theatre lighting and when I saw the Joker spinner/bounce rig, it reminded me of a horizontal rig I made to suspend a mannequin so it could spin around a TV running the latest Sega game. The mannequin was on a curtain traveler with a counterweight so it could track in/out towards the TV separately from the rotation. You know, 8 hours work for the 1. 75 second shot right b4 they say: SEGA!

The in-camera work on this show is amazing. And while the CGI is great, they do forget the JMS golden rule of space camerawork: Dont move the camera! You don't have a good frame of reference in space, so when the camera moves you just make everything in the scene look like it's moving -- including moons!

Every time I get to see a peak behind the curtain of this show, whether it's the prop department, the writing, the costume department, and now the cinematography, I'm blown away by the attention to detail and how deeply thought out everything is. Amazing show. Thanks for this!

It is amazing how many things they actually have to take care of on something one would think of as 'simple'. I always like to watch behind-the-scenes or making-of after watching a movie/show. It will give you a whole new level of appreciation.

The sad part is he probably will never watch the show. The Expanse has that effect on people where they see it and think it looks awesome, but because it doesn't have name recognition they'll just forget about it and not watch it.

Great content, really informative and so cool. But. Who the hell did the subtitles?
Series Station? Thomas James?
Anna whatshername something novel Ovid?
PLEASE try to get just the basics right.

Who else is here bc they are teaching themselves filmmaking & planning to put the knowledge into action?
There's a real duality to the internet: cat videos vs. resources to learn literal rocket science.

Seriously, amazing content you're doing guys. I'm a young filmmaker and I really appreciate how you manage to contact people working in big projects and tell us how they achieve their goals. Thanks.

The set design an cinematography are so resourceful in this show that the mostly mediocre acting and writing work when it couldn't/shouldn't in any other show with lesser art direction.
reply

hey. Love all the cinematography episodes. But could you do more with editing & Sound and such? It's just as important and learning more about it improves all our films.
reply

I watched it for its special effects, I think its one of the best in the industry. Better than that garbage Discovery and Picard, what a crock of SHIT that was.
reply

The problem with the expanse is, because its realism is so good, its already hard for me to watch other space series without getting disappointed.
reply

You are never allowed to end this show. This information is so inspiring and constantly reaffirms my decision in pursuing a career in the film industry.

How come anytime I see interviews with cinematographers, SFX artists, and the like, they seem to be using a webcam with like 480p resolution.
reply

As much as I love this show, I feel like season 4's theme was Hey everyone! We're on Amazon now! We can drop as many F-bombs as we want now!
reply

The attention to detail to make this all believable is incredible. I can't wait for the next season. Or the next book for that matter.
reply

One of my fav sci-fi shows. I hope the new season comes out soon after that whole Netflix cancelling it and amazon picking it up again.
reply

Great Episode!
It's not the type of series that I like to watch, but the job and thinking that they have behind it's amazing!

reply

I love The Expanse, it's one of the shows that's so good, it almost seems too good to be true: ) Thanks for doing this episode!
reply

That was no kidney stone; that's the proto molecule. Hope he is feeling better. This was a great episode.
