I recently discovered Winning Time on HBO and I consider it one of the best shows of the last 20 years. It ends prematurely (and weirdly!) after 2 seasons, but it’s still fantastic. And by the way, it’s about Basketball. I have zero interest in Basketball. Zero. And I loved it.
This is John Lyke, who has a very cool niche.
He went to film school and was a pro rollerblader & snowboarder.
This venn diagram of skills makes him an expert “blade camera operator”, a job that involves filming with a $100k camera while on roller blades.
You may have caught his footage in HBO’s fictional re-telling of the 1980s LA Lakers (“Winning Time”).
The basketball scenes are lightly co-ordinated and — to keep the action as real as possible — the players just go hard for 10-15 plays in a row and they take the best footage to edit.
End result is 💯.
