T here’s been chatter recently that we’re exiting the era of prestige TV. But while the heyday might be over, the streamers have certainly been serving up some bingeable, big-budget, star-packed shows lately that demand our sofa time. Let’s start with Ripley – hands down one of the best-looking shows I’ve ever watched and our cover star this issue. Ravishingly beautiful in every frame, the cinematography has become a water-cooler topic in its own right. So, who better to sit down with this month than the man responsible for it, legendary DOP Robert Elswit? Read his insights into the show’s artful aesthetic on page 10. Another big hitter, 3 Body Problem , comes from Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss. Reportedly costing $20 million an episode to make, this sprawling sci-fi series sees ‘The Davids’ and Alexander Woo serve up a visual extravaganza bolstered by some serious VFX gunpowder. The show’s crack team of DOPs take us behind the scenes on page 16. We also throw it back to one of 2023’s biggest TV events, The Last of Us , hearing how pandemic restrictions necessitated new ways of working – with impressive results – on page 50. Elsewhere in the issue, we explore the latest in lighting technology, pick the brains (and kitbags) of four top gaffers, get the lowdown on Cine Gear LA Expo, report on our favourite finds from NAB Show and discover how #GALSNGEAR has been driving change in the industry. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
