Manu Delpech Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Super special show. Shot on the Alexa 65 with DNA lenses, looks great. There are segments made to look like film with a different ratio. Watching it on broadcast with the compression, I think those sections are film but I won't commit to it. They're made to look like super 16 (you even have hair in the gate, and it's not a fixed pattern) but somehow it seems maybe too sharp to be 16mm? So I guess those sections are a great DI trick.

Gregg MacPherson Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 IMdb tech specs says some of it is shot on S16. I haven't seen this show yet. Must do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, that changed. I can't find any info from Kodak about it which is surprising because the show is very popular and there are some extensive film (supposedly) segments in several episodes.

Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted August 1, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted August 1, 2019 Yea for sure everything in that trailer was Alexa 65, it has such a beautiful large imager look. Where the trailer was beautifully cut and cinematography was gorgeous, the story doesn't look that interesting. Seems like a generic high school anti-drug show to me. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu Delpech Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 It's actually a very special show. Confirmation by Kodak liking a tweet referring to Euphoria that they indeed shot the segments I mentioned on film ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael LaVoie Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 "Anti-drug" shows tend to be either cautionary tales of self destruction like Requiem for a Dream which visually beat you over the head with a hammer in their presentation of the horror of addiction. Or a ridiculous satire like Rules of Attraction that becomes an exercise in patience as you laugh uncomfortably waiting for every character to fail. Euphoria has a distinct approach to it's characters, themes, giving them lengthy cold opens of backstory for context. Even if the episode isn't really about them. Though the central character Rue narrates it, her neutral, nonjudgemental tone is neither for or against the characters behavior. As a viewer, you can easily empathize with the lot of them because the look of the show is intoxicating and draws you in to their world completely. So for that reason, I think it's worth a mention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu Delpech Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) S2 premiere just began and they completely switched to film ! AND they managed to convince Kodak to produce Ektachrome stock for the show. Just gorgeous. Such a step up visually.

Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted January 13, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted January 13, 2022 Season 2 - Marcel Rév and the Director confirms shooting on Ektachrome 35mm, they wanted it to look like '5am, way past the point when everyone should have gone home" hahaha I will definitely watch this series as I recently subscribed to HBO Max for 4,50 euros a month offer from Spanish HBO Max. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted January 17, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) watching season 1 as we speak.....I thin its a superb series.....gutsy.....great performances....highly recommended. To me its got the darkness and deviance of 'Eyes Wide Shut' by Kubrick.....I have not read or seen any reviews of it as we speak I wonder if anyone feels the same??

Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted February 21, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) And it’s just getting better and better……exquisite use of film stock…..latest episode season 2 episode 7 uses both Ektchrome and definitely the sublime 500T for sure…..and what a piece of directing and acting I am being blown away by this series…..you have to be a parent of teenager + and be 40+ to really really understand and get all this at a higher level…that’s my feelings……Im sure they referenced Felix the 13 year old boy that appeared on The Face magazine back in the day for the character of the kid drug dealer “Ashtray” played by Javon Walton Edited February 21, 2022 by Stephen Perera 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
