TL;DR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Now streaming on Apple TV+, \u201cPalm Royale\u201d transports viewers to the opulent world of 1960s Palm Beach with visuals inspired by iconic photographer Slim Aarons.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Creator and showrunner Abe Sylvia aimed to subvert the escapist humor of the series, which stars Kristen Wiig, with a critical look at class structures and the pursuit of status.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cinematographer Todd McMullen aimed to capture as much of \u201cthe vibe and the tone\u201d of the series as possible in-camera.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Unable to secure anamorphic lenses, McMullen opted instead for Panaspeed spherical primes outfitted with an astigmatiser, which became central to setting the show’s lush visual style and vibrant pastel color palette.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Company 3 colorist Siggy Ferstl created custom LUTs for the series in collaboration with cinematographer David Lanzenberg, who also shot two of the 10 episodes.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
