Cinematographer Adam Bricker(realadambricker) sharing a #R3Dsnapshot for hacks.

“The final scene of the penultimate episode is a triumphant moment for Deborah Vance (realjeansmart), and we wanted to capture her in beautiful, warm sunlight. We shot portions of the concert sequence in New York and Los Angeles due to production logistics. VFX supervisor Martin Hall and his team stitched it all together.

Production designer Rob Tokarz (robtokarz) and I reviewed sun-tracking apps, and Rob oriented the stage design down to the degree so the setting sun would land perfectly in front of Deborah. Behind the stage, gaffer Daniel McNutt (danielmcnutt) and his crew rigged Nine-Light PARs, gelled to echo the color palette of the Madison Square Garden show Deborah never got to perform.

On the day, the wind really picked up. We’d planned to diffuse the sun for Deborah’s coverage, but key grip Randy Garcia (holdfastgripla) came over — it was just too windy to safely fly the frames. I remember Dan telling me not to worry — we didn’t need them. He was right. The natural sunlight played beautifully.

Director Lucia Aniello (luciaaniellosetfits) designed an elegant camera move, executed by Steadicam operator Joel Marsh (iamjoelmarsh). As Joel wrapped around Deborah to reveal Central Park, the sun landed exactly where we’d hoped, giving us this gorgeous flare. It was one of those moments where all the planning meets a little bit of luck, and nature gives you something better than you could have designed.”
