AMC Interviews Episode #2 Director Michelle MacLaren
AMC has been super awesome when it comes to giving us Walking Dead fans a behind the scenes look at what’s going on with the people behind the series. Giving us interviews with Frank Darabont, Robert Kirkman, and Greg Nicotero; “Dispatches From The Set” is a film and TV buffs dream come true. Today AMC released another one of their interview, this time they interviewed Michelle MacLaren who directed the second episode of the series. MacLaren is pretty familiar with AMC, seeing how she directed 4 episodes of the award winning Breaking Bad for the network, it was kind of no surprise to see her back in the directors seat for The Walking Dead. In the interview she talks about being in love with the graphic novel and what it was like bringing it to life.
Q: Your episode has a lot of elements that are not in The Walking Dead comics. Was it strange to tread new ground?
A: We always had the comic in mind. I love to shoot wide, graphic shots, so we had many moments in shooting this episode where we’d make choices because it was like a graphic novel, or it reminded us of the comic. Even though we got some in, I would have liked to have had time to shoot more long lens shots — I know Frank really likes that look — but it does take longer when you’re in certain situations, and this episode really required a lot of action. So things were a little bit more frenetic and fast-paced. [Laughs] I’m laughing because I’m thinking about some of our days, and I’m thinking, “God, that’s an understatement!”.
