#and now he does stuff like breaking bad and fargo. isn't that something

while I'm on the subject, I like this description of adam bernstein's directing style from an interview about the adventures of pete and pete

#I do like the way his work looks #like a Lot of alternative/indie '90s to turn of the millennium stuff went for the oblique kind of ''in your face'' cinematography #it could probably also be viewed as obnoxious in cases by some lmao I'm fully aware my fondness comes from nostalgia #lot of close-ups/wide-angles #hype williams was kind of the pioneer for the latter one in music videos #maybe because it's because that was a generally irreverent period and. I hate to use the word ''quirky'' lmao. surrealistic? #so directors were aiming for appropriate visuals #but adam bernstien's style is also very distinctive with it. #like you watch scenes from pete and pete and his videos of the time like tmbg's stuff. baby got back. and love shack #and you can See his trademarks #in fact I was so convinced that REM's ''stand'' was gonna be by him and it isn't. BUT #it Was by katherine dieckmann. who also worked on pete and pete! #I guess they shared similar tastes #and now he does stuff like breaking bad and fargo. isn't that something #I've yet to watch those series so I haven't seen if a lot of his trademarks still remain more subdued work haha
