Prime Crime

Series: Prime Crime

Location: Wrightsville, PA

Network: Peacock

Project type: True-crime television series

Our role: Director of Photography for the main interviews, plus lighting and sound

Crew: One-person crew: camera, lighting and sound by Rod Lopez

Equipment provided: Cinema cameras and lenses, lighting and lighting support, camera support, tripods and gimbals

The Goal

The producers needed sit-down interviews with the victim’s mother and son: sensitive conversations that had to look and sound broadcast-ready.

The Production

Rod Lopez handled camera, lighting and sound himself, using his own cinema camera, lenses, lighting and support gear. A one-person crew kept the setup small and quiet, which helps when people are sharing something this personal.

The Result

The interviews appear in the finished episode, which streams on Peacock.
