David Mullen, ASC is joined by interviewer Patrick Cady, ASC to discuss his work on Season 5 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - the acclaimed period comedy-drama series that follows a young mother's pursuit of her dreams of becoming a stand-up comic in 1950s and '60s New York City. In the fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Miriam "Midge" Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) inches ever-closer toward realizing her ambitions in the world of stand-up in the early '60s, while multiple time-jumps into the '70s and '80s explore other characters later in their lives. Mullen shot five of the season's nine episodes, including its premiere, "Go Forward," and its finale, "Four Minutes." Mullen shares how helped create the show's distinct, contemporary take on Technicolor and '50s aesthetics; how he introduced subtle filtration and lens changes to differentiate between narrative time jumps; how he desaturated the image without compromising the look of skin tones; how he and the crew orchestrated and lit some complex one-shot scenes; and his insights on filming night-street "wet downs" and their resulting effect on contrast.
