Winning Time is a win for filmmakers everywhere.
We’re fortunate enough to have the two cinematographers (Todd Banhazl and Mihai Malaimare Jr.) who shot Adam McKay’s Winning Time on the podcast, and learning from them is as much fun as watching the show.
Telling “period” stories is an obstacle for all filmmakers. But there is a hack.
I always knew it would work.
When I was just out of college I had this vision that even on the cheap I could tell a story that took audiences through different times and periods, despite having no budget at all.
How?
With the right cameras. And the best part?
They wouldn’t even need to be the latest and greatest. In fact… they could be the oldest and worst. That would work even better.
You see, I wanted to tell a story that moved through time and era, and while I knew stuff like costumes and hair would be huge, I also knew that I could get wigs, and go second-hand store shopping.
