Everyone talks about how great the writing and humor of MITM is, but the fantastic comedy aspect is not the only thing that stands out in uniqueness, I think the entire series was filmed in a unique way.
One of the only comedies today to be shot on film instead of video (which usually is only done on hour-long dramas,) and its single-camera cinematography really got our attention to follow the characters. Also the lighting and composition of the shots really brought the realism to the show, which makes the show even funnier because it is like you are watching real-life, and not just any other sitcom (sad to admit, but even my favorite new show, The War at Home, looks so much like a studio set, and not a real house)
The creator, writers, directors, are all geniuses for creating the masterpiece of a series we call Malcolm in the Middle. If I ever make my own film or tv show, I got to have some of that brilliant crew on my project.
and for those who seen Little Miss Sunshine movie, did you notice any similarities to Malcolm in the Middle other then the obvious Bryan Cranston in both?
Well, both had the same Director of Photography, Tim Suhrstedt.
Did you notice that both homes had almost the same kind of lighting and atmosphere to them? I did.
Looks like Art School training is paying off for me ;D I initially noticed this similarity without even finding out who the Director of Photography of either were.
