I'm sure you guys have already discussed this, but I LOVE how this show is shot. The dutch angles on the masters, so cool. I love how John Adam's closeups are often shot with wides, adding to his frantic energy.

And they squeezed all of Versailles into frame by using a fisheye! So cool. Almost fell out of my chair when I saw that.

I'm pretty sure Tom Hooper and his team shot this on Master Primes. I know they did on The King's Speech, cuz they loved all the wides they could add to their set. I recognized the purple zeiss-ian flare in some shots in John Adams, so I'm going assume they did here too.

It's been a long time since something really hit me with it's cinematography, had to share!

(The only other thing recently is Moonrise Kingdom...but that deserves it's own entire thread!)
