i did the saucy Hawke so i wanted to do a saucy Anders also....I snagged THIS pose right here because Legs and Boots...act 3 Hawke and Anders look like hell but they also look amazing about it.
I don't think we've talked about this shot enough! From seeing Stede's fancy clothes (including those bows on his shoes) to the leathers and absolute casual demeanor of Izzy, to Officer Hornberry's shocked face, and of course Fang just being his amazing self.
This episode goes full Spaghetti Western with every shot of Izzy, it has him front and center in a trio and zooms in from afar to emphasize him, bad guy western music included.
The shot shows how Stede has the power in this scene. This is his first fuckery before he even knew what one is. And it works, he gets the upper hand on Izzy and co., and further fuels Ed's curiosity of him.
The emphasis of the classic western black vs. white clothing showing good vs. bad. And while we see Izzy get the upper hand, this first shot shows how Stede will ultimately win the fight/moment.
Pictures from Rhys Darby in New Bank, NJ, 6/30/22. Did my best to get pictures despite Rhys constantly buzzing around the stage like a glorious silly bumblebee!! 🐝 Set 1 of 3.
