Digital Video magazine — November 2012<\/em>
‘The Mindy Project:’ Making A Modern-Day Rom-Com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mindy Project<\/em>, a biting single-camera comedy from writer\/producer Mindy Kaling (The Office<\/em>), follows Dr. Mindy Lahiri, a woman who manages a successful career as an OB\/GYN while she undermines her personal life with romantic comedy-fueled unrealistic expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scrappy new series, which stars Kaling alongside cast members Chris Messina, Ed Weeks, Anna Camp, Zoe Jarman, Amanda Setton, Stephen Tobolowsky and Ike Barinholtz, premiered on FOX in September. Created, written and executive produced by Kaling, the show is produced by 3 Arts Entertainment and Universal Television, and executive produced by Howard Klein (The Office, Parks and Recreation<\/em>), Matt Warburton (The Simpsons<\/em>) and series director Michael Spiller (Modern Family, Scrub<\/em>s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of photography Marco Fargnoli (Childrens Hospital, NTSF:SD:SUV<\/em>) arrived at The Mindy Project <\/em>following the completion of the series pilot, which was shot by cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond. \u201cIt was incredible thrill to come into something he had started,\u201d Fargnoli says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot with Arri Alexa digital cameras employing a combination of Panavision\u2019s new lightweight 19:90 and 7:200 zoom lenses with an older Panavision 11:1 lens for close-ups, The Mindy Project<\/em> has the heightened look of classic romantic comedy grounded by the day-lit scenes inside the clinic where Mindy works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Alexa is the strongest choice out there. It was the first camera for me that delivered on the promise of what a digital camera could be, and it\u2019s just the best all-around choice for the type of show that we\u2019re doing. Under the constraints of shooting a TV show these days, there\u2019s no other digital format that really touches it,\u201d Fargnoli comments, citing the camera\u2019s dynamic range and color reproduction. (Read full story…<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
