There's so much to love in this show, and forgive the effusiveness oh great internet cynics. I love how they frame, I love the gentle and confident moves. The static shots are so expressive, expansive and lonely - Using negative space and DOF in an exquisite manner to highlight the multi-layered conflicts. I love the production design, the lighting and sense of place feel serendipitous; watch the end of episode 9, and tell me the mise en scene is not totally en pointe. Anyone see any visual parallels in film/TV/life with this show? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how Mr. Robot takes from its visual predecessors.
I've got loads more to say, maybe I'll post screen grabs to talk. Mostly I wish I was on that set, and that those were my shots. Sometimes you've just gotta appreciate the way other people see.
I read an an interview with the creator Sam Esmail, who seemed to have an acute sense of how he wanted this show to be lensed. Anyone shooting episodic television care to speak to maintaining visual consistency/show identity between different cinematographers, directors, crew?
