[00:00:00]The beginning sequence of this episode with the ambulance scene, the [clears throat] way that was shot was so cool. There was so much tension that was it like dropped us right in the middle. It felt like a drama right in the middle of the action. Everything was moving. To have that red herring where it was like, "Oh my god, is that Athena or is it not Athena? Oh my god, she's almost like wait, that's not Athena."

[00:00:20]But then to like plot twist and have Athena actually arrive right as they're bringing the patient into the emergency one room, I thought was excellent. That was so good with the pacing, the camera work, all of that like movement. Everything felt so tense and that kind of like set the tone for the rest of it.

[00:00:38]>> Another thing [clears throat] that worked well is that our guy Andrew Mitchell continues to be the goat when playing around with light and shadows bring a particular atmosphere in the scenes presented. So like for example, like shutting the hospital in darkness as Manny Ravi play hide and seek with Anatoly. So like I I when I first watched the episode, I actually missed the DP products even though in the back of my head I was like, "It's most likely Andrew Mitchell." But what really confirmed it was when you finally got to this kitchen scene with Anatoly and Detective Hooks.

[00:01:09]Because it was like the lighting felt very 817 Buck and Eddie kitchen fight.

[00:01:14]So that's when I was like, "Oh, yeah.

[00:01:15]This is Andrew Mitchell." Yeah. I kind of thought it from the first from the opening scene because of the like really shaky cam like in your face cuz that reminded me of the 817 kitchen fight.

[00:01:26]>> [laughter] [clears throat] >> Everything reminds us of the 817 If you're new here. If you're new here.

[00:01:32]Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. But yeah, that I love and that's like from day one I think cuz 801 was like our first Andrew Mitchell episode and from like the from the first scene we were like, "Ooh, the movement. It's so cool."

[00:01:45]>> Yeah.

[00:01:46]This is different.

[00:01:48]>> to me like his movement like great with the light and shadow, but like to me like the movement in his episodes are so distinct that I'm always like >> Yes. that's our guy. Yeah. You're all our guys, but you know what I mean. I really love that like we can kind of just look in an episode and not see the credits cuz sometimes when we're watching them the first time, I usually miss it, too, cuz I'm like zeroed in on on what's actually on scene, but like we can hazard a pretty good guess between them. It's like, "Oh, yeah, that's a PJ Ravest." "Oh, yeah, that's an Andrew Mitchell." Mhm. If Eddie looks extra beautiful and there are and there are like neon lights, that's Ravest dog. And then a PJ Ravest. Yeah, yeah. That's our Ravest dog special. It's PJ Ravest. If it's a lot of movement of the camera and really interesting like shadow work, especially in the interiors, Yeah.

[00:02:35]that's Andrew. Yeah.
