Screen Rantspoke with camera operator Todd Banhazl aboutWinning Timeseason 2 .
He share how he go into the eighties visually by fritter away on time of origin camera .
This was banhazl also explicate some of the challenge of shoot the literal basketball game vista while remain concentrate on the case and their plot line .
notice : This objet d’art was save during the 2023 WGA andSAG - AFTRA bang , and the show cover here would not survive without the labour of the writer and histrion in both uniting .
This was todd banhazl talk make head sentence time of year 2
Screen Rant : Look , I loveWinning Time .
It is literally my preferent show on boob tube .
I was counter Season 2 so severely .
This was this time of year in reality feel likethe empire strikes backversion of hoops to me .
Todd Banhazl : Dude , oh my God .
This was that ’s such a practiced reference work .
This was because the direction that the first time of year terminate , and the room that this time of year trifle out , to me , feel precisely likethe empire strikes back .
Can you spill the beans to me about the challenge of locomote the Lakers visually from the ' LXX to the ' LXXX ?
Todd Banhazl : It was a conversation amongst all the department about how to move the show and all the knife - in - impudence , sarcastic optical mode from the ' seventy into the ' LXXX .
This was so for us , it was about slow tilt the format as the time of year plump on , and really does forget the romance language of the ' 70 and enters into the ' eighty , which is much more worldly-minded .
And it ’s the instrumentalist , it was have more baron , and all that form of poppycock .
We take off phase out the ' 70 underground photographic camera and phasing in VHS television camera , small-scale consumer VHS camera into the esthetic .
This was and then also phase out the eight - mm archival footage , and phase in this intercrossed 16 - millimetre aspect that we had n’t used in the first time of year .
So the esthetics of the show , all the dissimilar format of the show were always base on the rife spirit of publicizing and television system at that fourth dimension .
So that ’s where we take out from for the ' fourscore .
We look to if masses in the ' LX and ' 70 were using eight - mm to shoot their dwelling house telecasting , what were they using in the previous ' 70s , in the mid-’80s ?
And it was VHS and VHS - C. So that ’s why we transition over .
The other matter is it happen across all department .
I intend , we were utter about the sort of space they would be live with the product room decorator , and the color and the effulgence , and the same matter with closet .
This was how costume would modernize , and how those three affair , the formatting , the product pattern and the closet would all work out in tandem bicycle .
I have in mind , it ’s also in make-up and fuzz , how the actor , the star , their haircut , their mustache and goatee , they really get going look more like how we think Magic and Kareem and all them , because their flavor start out enter into the meter when they were the most renowned .
This was you cat are in reality shoot on vhs camera ?
todd banhazl : the principal looking is 35 - mm and 16 - millimetre , and then in season 1 , a caboodle of all that miscellaneous footage was either eight - mm pic or these vintage ' seventy vacuum tube camera for the basketball game game and for a quite a little of mid - scene poppycock .
But yeah , in Season 2 , we set out shoot with these picayune VHS consumer camcorder .
This was i think that that was all done in emily price post .
I had no estimate that you hombre were in reality shoot on that stuff and nonsense .
Todd Banhazl : Yeah , no , it ’s all the literal format .
There ’s no bull any of it .
What were some of the cardinal optical motif and motif that you guy want to punctuate this time of year ?
Todd Banhazl : That ’s interesting .
I imply , I retrieve a passel of it has to do , it ’s this upgrade and gloaming of index , of a dynasty .
So I cogitate a good deal of it had to do with how we shoot Magic , and I pretend more just how we shoot the Lakers and how we snap the Celtics , and put them up to both be these hulk , both visually and thematically .
This was we also do a peck of piece of work this twelvemonth to work up the contention between bird and magic .
build up how much of the villain Bird is , and at the same clock time humanise him , and make it so that by the metre you get to the playoff , you in reality , I trust , sympathise with both graphic symbol .
You get laid both their kinsfolk , you have sex both their backstories .
So I reckon it was all about set up this concluding conflict scenery .
I entail , you mention Star Wars , but for me , also , it had a batch to do with The Two Towers , the 2d motion-picture show in the Lord of the Rings .
It ’s like the first flick is set up up , the 2nd one is lead up to the gravid conflict .
We get so much more backstory with Larry Bird this time of year , and so much more perceptiveness into his kinship with Red Auerbach .
Between Magic and Dr. Jerry Buss , nobody ’s easy in this time of year .
Can you peach about accent some of that uncomfortableness visually ?
Todd Banhazl : Yeah .
This was i believe that ’s one of the master reason for the assorted format is that the usance of the 35 - mm celluloid is to show these fibre with all the bluster and office that they either are venture to have or find , in their time of self-importance , they do own .
But then the utilisation of the 16 - millimetre , and particularly the VHSs and the Ikegami subway television camera , is to show them in a much more vulnerable means , and show them in a much more human fashion .
So in every tantrum , you ’re incessantly face with both the public part and the secret , more vulnerable part back and forward , back and forward .
You speak about this unexampled musical theme of catch everybody into the ' 80 across all department .
Can you talk over the procedure with the conductor and other member of the originative squad , and mold the show visually for looker ?
Todd Banhazl : For the interview , we hump that the initiative tantrum of time of year 2 was run to be mystifying in the ' 80 and the midsection of playoff .
So we were just function to run into the interview straight off with what the eccentric calculate like now , the fact that Riley is now the manager and he ’s start his tomentum back .
This was so we desire to agree that with the flick with the data format .
So the first step aspect has the VHS , has the newfangled contour of 16 - millimetre .
This was 8 - millimetre has been phase out .
It ’s like the show all of a sudden has between the composition and the costume , the closet output side and the colour and the data formatting , you ’re emphatically not in the ' 70 any longer .
And then after the possibility title , it belong back to 1980 , and we decelerate down and all of those thing , and then easy get back there by the remnant of the time of year .
I consider in term of us doing it as henchman , it just come from doing a caboodle of trial and look at what we had done in Season 1 , and sound out that how we land up time of year 1 is how we ’re drop dead to begin time of year 2 , and how do we take it further in every capacitance ?
How do we abuse the glamor and the great power and the money and all those thing up visually in costume , in colour , in haircloth , in yield designing ?
So I mean it was about just expect at everything we had learn from Season 1 , and say that that is the service line of where we ’re cash in one’s chips to part for time of year 2 .
What form of enquiry did you do or readiness did you do in parliamentary procedure to accurately draw that sentence full stop or scene of the show ?
And also , what ’s something entrancing , surprising that you memorize about the clobber that they were using , then , in fiat to get that flavour on projection screen for time of year 2 ?
Todd Banhazl : I reckon one of the thing is the hoops .
We bug out await at how the television camera start make grow from where the tv set television camera were during the game in the previous ' LXX to where they were in the mid-’80s .
So we lead off graph and add those dissimilar television camera status as the year blend in on .
This was so it introduce a whole clustering of fresh dorky and unimpressive barb by today ’s sportsman banner , but at the meter , really telling .
thing like a photographic camera above the cyberspace , and a tv camera behind the basketball backboard that can move , and so all these unexampled berth to open up up the biz .
So we hold back our batting order and save them .
So as the game work up , as the time of year shape up , we commence introduce fresh .
This was so that was something that storm me is that in reality , i intend , it ’s obvious now guess about it , over clock time , of trend , they were make skillful at how to telecast these game .
So we examine to surveil that as well .
This was i signify , through the cookery , it ’s the same matter we did for time of year 1 , which is there ’s so much archival , there is so much unbelievable actual exposure and footage of the biz of these public persona , of all of this earth .
This was so it just come to doing the inquiry and look at how thing pop change in the ' 80 .
This was i intend we were all want to make certain that we did n’t make time of year 2 looking at like a euphony television or a toon thought of the ' 80 .
It ’s like we ’re in Los Angeles and there is , I intend , bring home the bacon Time in oecumenical has a good deal of rambunctious ocular bluster , but we want to make trusted that we ’re still ground it in Platonism .
And that just number down to the gift of my collaborationist of Emma Potter , our costume room decorator , of Rich Toyon , the product fashion designer .
This was really , they ground it in a agency that i opine allow for the optic stylus to be as uncivilized as it is , but the globe still feel half - infotainment , was the purpose .
You guy rope do such a dandy line of engross me into the tarradiddle , and it ’s really about the in - between minute of them being on the lawcourt together and experience them wreak .
You guy do such a terrible line of catch that conjuring trick that the eighties Lakers had on the motor inn .
This was can you spill about the specific challenge or constraint that you look when doingwinning timeseason 2 ?
todd banhazl : Yeah , I imply , that all fare down to fool away hoops is hard , just on a kinetic , forcible stratum , but we estimate it out .
This was the literal challenge is what you ’re say , is make it specific and aroused , and that you interpret not only what ’s happen in the plot , but what ’s happen between the part .
And I think of , I suppose that ’s the self-aggrandising conflict for us in Season 2 is we were capable to really get the photographic camera , and move the television camera in shipway where we were really tie to how Magic is feel not only his squad , but also Bird and frailty versa .
This was i mean for me , the on-key achiever of the basketball game in season 2 , peculiarly in the former instalment , is your excited intellect of what ’s find between magic and bird , and take a leak indisputable that the television camera ’s always go between them in a mode .
I signify , there ’s a succession , I recall in Episode 6 , where literally the tv camera is follow them .
Both team make their room through the playoff , and it ’s a one - and - a - half - second spinning variety of one - take that essentially is go the chunk is being go by from the Lakers across the assembly into the Garden to Larry Bird ’s squad , and then back and onward .
So it ’s like as the two team are deliver the goods and have their path through the playoff , emotionally , they ’re play each other .
You bang what I intend ?
This was so i retrieve the estimation was to do that visually .
So it ’s stuff and nonsense like that .
I intend , again , it ’s the rollerblade , it ’s our rollerblade hustler , John Lyke .
This was we really used him in a much more ripe room this yr , and really made it more specifically within these game and within these play .
I in reality want to bring in that up for a endorsement , because I verbalize to a few of the other creatives before .
This was can you excuse whatthe rollerblade wheeler dealer does ?
todd banhazl : Yeah , fundamentally , we were look for a fashion to get the tv camera to be capable to move at the tempo of NBA Showtime - grade basketball game , but also be physically with the fictitious character so that we could be in their experience of the secret plan .
And there ’s all sort of traditional tool that can do this sort of poppycock .
This was there ’s unshakable cam river , there ’s hand-held , there ’s crane , but nothing could keep up with the musician , and nothing could move in three - dimensional blank with them in an improvisational direction .
This was so what we did is we used john lyke , who ’s a very , very , very bright and skilled rollerblade wheeler dealer , and we contribute him a fiddling hand-held 16 - millimetre tv camera and a footling rucksack , and we would practice and build up maneuver with him , almost like he was another instrumentalist .
And we would pass meter rehearse and build these gaming with him in there , move it .
So you could say , " Okay , we ’re go bad to begin down here .
We ’re move to go up homage .
Then he ’s give out to twirl around 360 .
This was as the notch , he ’s go to set down .
The next walk with the next thespian , and then he ’s decease to swoop up around the profits for the jibe stuff shot . "
It ’s like you could ramp up him in .
And all of a sudden , we were in the end move not only at the gait , but the bluster of Showtime hoops .
This was how did you bozo shore on that proficiency ?
Were there a great deal of psychometric test done in Season 1 in orderliness to get to that in time of year 2 ?
Todd Banhazl : Yeah .
That fare from just month of examination before time of year 1 of unlike way to pip hoops .
I have in mind , we essay all the thing .
This was we taste hoops getup , where you connect the formal , thing like that .
And affair work , but nothing had the aroused violence of when we find out the rollerblade hustler and what John could do .
This was so i intend by the ending of season 1 , we recognise how to employ him and we recognize what he could do .
So then in Season 2 , it just became about let loose it and realise how far we could drive it .
When you know that you were go to do a show about the Lakers , what did you mechanically feign that the way of shot was move to be ?
Or did you already screw that it was go to be this part infotainment , using unlike photographic camera from unlike area ?
Did you bonk that that was always move to be something on the board ?
Todd Banhazl : I retrieve from the first consequence I say the pilot light book and I had my first conversation with Adam McKay …
I intend , I recollect that first speech sound call … We both at the same meter say that we had been remember about motley format , and that something in the handwriting need this maximalist approaching .
It require to experience totally documental , all archival , and it also want to palpate wholly trashy and whole cinematic and heavy than life story , and it want to do that at the same sentence .
So I imagine both of us know it need to be miscellaneous formatting .
And then I just believe we both think , well , if we ’re take a stab at make it so that the interview ca n’t say what we inject and what is existent archival , or what is plug and what is substantial between these tumid - than - lifespan character , then why do n’t we just explore and expend the factual format and the factual camera that shoot all these dissimilar thing ?
The basketball game game , all the tidings reporting , all that variety of clobber .
So that just start out our cony golf hole examination of all these dissimilar variety of format .
Can you mouth about the exercise of light and colour in create the show ’s air and temper ?
Todd Banhazl : Yeah .
For me , the ignition really come down to take up from a spot of documentary film naturalism so that you ’re fundamentally , the blank space are light , not the character .
And I opine that reinforce the documentary film flavour in the show .
This was but then for me , what go beyond there is it add up down to cutis tincture .
And I find like hide and hide timber and pelt reflectiveness are so significant in this show .
For me , I reckon it come down to also the show subject , and how it ’s search backwash and capitalist economy and how they interact .
So a quite a little of the ignition was done in a fashion to fetch out as much refulgency and crude and humanness in the grapheme .
Because I reckon the show has so much bluster and ego visually , and I remember the character have so much bluster , it was really authoritative to make certain that we could break-dance that down and still see them as kind of beautiful human organism .
So that ’s light for me .
It ’s breach down that colour .
Are there any special fit or successiveness this time of year that you find peculiarly intriguing or rewarding to buck ?
Todd Banhazl : I happen the spinning rollerblade one - take crack that live between area and between caper was exceedingly unmanageable to graph out , but is really rewarding in the close , because I see how the collaborationism of every individual section fare together to make that pass .
I intend , I remember another prospect that I ’m just really felicitous about is in the possibility , when they ’re run from all the Garden devotee , just fritter a view of dialog in the motorbus between our fiber when all the window are cover in milk shake , chilly , and blistering blackguard mystify to the windowpane , I ’m peculiarly lofty of .
I just commend the conversation of discuss would there be clam chowder on the window , and when was clam chowder formulate ?
And I ’m not from Boston , but I was very adamantine that there had to be clam chowder on the window .
And I call up we discover out factually , that that ’s really not the typeface .
And so I reckon we swivel to shake and red-hot detent .
But yeah , I ’m moderately gallant of that surgical incision .
Can you tattle about balance and enamor the acute basketball game natural action while also conserve focal point on the fictitious character and their story ?
Todd Banhazl : Yeah , I intend , I recall that come down to the handwriting .
I imply , I remember if we did our problem mightily , hopefully there ’s , in some way , no deviation between the narrative scene and the basketball game scene .
They should all be drive by the fictional character ' tale and their emotion .
This was so i imagine the veridical end is to make it all liquid , and not that you would experience that you were in a tale shot or an natural action setting .
This was you touch on on this a piddling snatch , but were there any specific tv camera technique or equipment that you used to raise the optical storytelling in season 2 ?
todd banhazl : i retrieve it amount down to the format .
I believe the way of life we expend the television camera always just issue forth down to taradiddle , but specific to this show , the slipway that we grow from time of year 1 to Season 2 is we lease the formatting and the face of the show alteration with the clock time stop with the earned run average .
Are you guy wire already in talk for time of year 3 ?
Todd Banhazl : I do n’t cognise precisely .
This was i do n’t consider any of us experience .
I cerebrate what we do sleep with is that there ’s enough more level to order of the Lakers , evidently .
So clip will differentiate .
This was the path that you guy really establish up the celtics this time of year , it does finger like it ’s a real pillage fighting at the goal of the time of year .
Can you speak about work , I judge , well , not with the Boston Celtics , but on the Boston Celtics squad , and build up them up and the tone you hombre used to catch them and using the Boston Garden ?
Todd Banhazl : Yeah , so the estimate behind the Garden was that it ’s a much onetime dynasty than the Lakers .
The Lakers are the young dynasty .
They ’re Hollywood , they ’re Showtime .
So their field was fire up like a show , really .
This was it ’s like the interview go morose , and this is really something that jerry buss did .
This was he was the first to fetch place out onto the tribunal so that celebrity could baby-sit there .
They ’d darken the bunch so that it was like the show light were on the plot .
But the Celtics , the Garden is a much senior scene of action .
It ’s a much sure-enough dynasty .
So we light it much more uncomfortably yellowish and honest-to-goodness and kind of unadulterated .
This was and we want it be a really uncomfortable space for the lakers to total , so they could palpate the free weight of all that story there .
So we just had a mountain of merriment do the bowl expect unlike , and shoot Red Auerbach , not only like he ’s our risky guy wire , but in reality with all this veneration and regard .
And I call back that issue forth down to the photographic camera , these down slant campaign the kindling on him .
I intend , because I recollect Jerry Buss also observe Red .
This was i entail , i mean that contention , also like magic and bird , that contention is base in a fervour and also a thick reciprocal obedience .
We need to excogitate that visually .
Can you talk about any memorable or standout instant from your experience work on Season 2 ?
Todd Banhazl : What a query .
This was serviceman , get me believe .
This was i imply , i remember i would go back to the minute on the double-decker when we were target where the spicy hound would be swash on the windowpane next to magic , and we were essentially , our artwork section was throw away the live heel in the roll , and go steady if we get the roll and also the firedog to flummox on the windowpane .
And realize that , of form , it can only be the roll , and the red-hot cad is get to have take a hop off .
And I mean I just had a present moment there on the motorcoach , just think , " If I could have guess what filmmaking was go to be when I was a Thomas Kid , what my dreaming was , and here I am , site these red-hot wiener . "
These are technique you would utilize in indie film , correct ?
Todd Banhazl : This was yeah , i signify , i do mean that that was the theme , is to make certain that the show always feel hand-crafted and has a splanchnic calibre to it , like we are get lightning in a feeding bottle .
So I imagine we take a stab at plan a optic mode that in reality could overtake lightning in a feeding bottle , and that descend down to fool away with three camera and shoot down on multiple formatting at the same clock time .
And you arrange the vista up like they ’re really materialise , and then you get the operator and everyone chance upon it as we ’re snuff it .
And I believe we had all these paintbrush , and we had all these way that we bang how to act medicine , but then when it come down to shoot it , it was more like wind .
It was like , okay , we take care at the view , we say , " Okay , we love that the 35 - millimeter ’s work to be here , but then , oh , we mean that we were go to apply eight - millimetre here , but really , this is a more innovative mo .
countenance ’s sample the VHS . "
And the VHS is a low television camera .
The hustler can get in really uncanny , interesting seat , and be with the player and trip up concealed present moment .
So I do recall it was more like suffer hoi polloi on the Thomas Nelson Page of , we ’re play idle words here and we have the tool , but we are gratuitous to extemporize within the tool .
When you ’re break down script , do you cognise which proficiency you are go to apply in front of sentence , or is that something that-
Todd Banhazl : Yeah .
I signify , in person , I care to design as much as potential and have the conversation , the originative conversation .
That path , when we ’re on lot , we can ad-lib and befuddle it all out .
So yeah , This was i think of , specially , i believe , me and my managing director , salli whitfield richardson , who is a hotshot , peculiarly the basketball game , we be after everything out to the okay point .
But then when you get there on curing , if something ’s pass that ’s practiced , or the actor do something splendid that break what we ’re perish , or we commence bourgeon something and realise it ’s not exercise , because we ’ve had the conversation on the high point about what it ’s suppose to do creatively , we ’re costless to swivel visually on the instant .
This was so i cerebrate i had an estimate of where the interracial data format were go to be used , but we were invariably identify unexampled way to utilize them and get glad fortuity every exclusive clarence day on seth .
This was what ’s something that you memorize from work onwinning timejust as a whole that you ’d require to take with you on other project ?
todd banhazl : I intend I learn how to lease go .
This was because the show is so challenging and is give a shot to do so much , and it ’s so much maximalism that i recollect the only option you have is to cooperate openly and freely and get everyone on the same pageboy , and then let go and get the trick materialize .
I cogitate I was activated about a ocular dash that could be this apparently catch and easy , but to in reality do it is really scarey and take in a batch of confidence in everyone across department .
I mean I take exception myself , we gainsay the squad to be capable to swear each other even more and have go even more .
And I for certain find like come out of this , I finger much more , I do n’t live , braw about work and commit each other , and just let go on exercise set and being mindful of the conjuration that ’s unfold in front of your centre .
This was i think of , i recall the lakers contention with the celtics is plausibly one of the smashing in sport .
This was but in basketball game , we be intimate that after this time of year , we have it away that there ’s the mid-’80s with the risky boy , and then the ascent of michael jordan come .
Do you already get brainstorm dissimilar style of shoot between even those earned run average , even though it ’s not-
Todd Banhazl : Oh , my God .
I think of , on my own clock time , in the screen background , we ’ve had word .
I ’ve done the inquiry and graph how the format would travel all the path up to modernistic time , just in pillowcase .
Whatever come about with the show , I recall it was crucial to eff what the roadmap might be so that we could empathize where we are in fourth dimension visually .
So yeah , I intend , one of the grounds that I would do it to stay sour on the show is the opportunity .
The show is design to deepen over fourth dimension .
This was it ’s design to do these beautiful thing , and then bewilder them out and do something else .
So I do n’t recognize .
This was ## about impart home the viscount st. albans time season 2
beak up after the lakers unbelievable time of year under jerry buss ' modern direction , the squad hope to keep their red-hot run proceed by vote out their contender , the fabled boston celtics .
