What does the fungi apocalypse look like?
Editor’s Note: Some spoilers for The Last of Us to come…
The Last of Us hit HBO by storm. Adapted from the incredibly popular video game by Craig Mazin, who brought us the incredible Chernobyl series, it’s been a hit with critics and audiences alike. One of the many things to praise is the look of the show.
It feels like we’re really inside the end of the world. Cinematographer Eben Bolter shot episodes three, four, and five of the show, and that’s been where you know what really hits the fan. We have an explosion of zombies popping up from the ground and hordes of them running in the streets.
Bolter talked to Variety about how they kept the visuals consistent throughout.
“It’s hell — it’s like a hive opening up,” Bolter said. “We wanted it to feel like these are angry red ants that have been trapped on the ground, and they’re just desperate to break free.”
