“The Handmaid’s Tale”

Nominated Episode: “Holly”

Format: Arri UHD, Prores 4.4.4
Camera: ARRI Alexa Mini
Lens: Canon K35

Zoë White, ACS: The Mini is great for its adaptability for varying physical applications, and its sensor captures the best latitude for the very particular color work we do on the show. The K35s have a beautiful dimensionality that translates to strong architectural wide shots and contoured portraits. The vintage softness, shallow depth, and glorious warm flares contribute to a romantic look that effectively juxtaposes with the brutal reality of the world of Gilead.

“The Handmaid’s Tale”

Nominated Episode: “The Word”

Format: Arri UHD, Prores 4.4.4 (same as season 1)
Camera: ARRI Alexa Mini
Lens: Canon K35

Colin Watkinson: We try for a painterly look on “Handmaid’s Tale,” the mixture of the Alexa capture on Canon K35’s with the LUT we created works well for us. Color reproduction is so important to us, the Alexa suits our style beautifully. The physical versatility of the Mini, having multiple types of builds to suit how we are shooting is the perfect camera for our show. The wide aperture of the Canons help us achieve the shallow focus that we use to express the introspective POV style of the show.
