If you haven’t seen Netflix’s drama series Adolescence, it is certainly worth watching.

Sometimes ideas can get in the way of the story, but in this case, the way it was done enhances it and adds a sense of realism.
Director of Photography Matthew Lewis chose to use a Cooke SP3 32mm alongside the DJI Ronin 4D camera, creating the desired aesthetic he was after while keeping a lightweight rig that was essential for this project.
