Nicotero on the European aesthetics that infuse every frame of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
“There is something romantic about the European flair. We had alternating directors of photography: Tommaso Fiorilli was our first, and then Michel Amathieu in the second block. There was a lot of candlelight. There was a lot of soft focus. There was a lot of ethereal feeling with the way that things were shot with a lot of depth of field. The camera moves a lot. I don’t think they ever set up a dolly track once – it was always Steadicam. There is a fluidity and a graceful element to it that makes the show feel distinctly unlike something we’ve seen before.”
