COW Articles: Cinematography Inside HBO’s The Wire
Inside HBO’s The Wire
Set in Baltimore, Maryland, The Wire will begin its fifth and final season in January 2008 on HBO. As different from standard TV as it gets, the show has received the highest levels of critical acclaim, being referred to by multiple reviewers as ”the best show on television.” In its last issue of 2006 Time Magazine ranked The Wire first on its list of ”10 Best TV Shows.” And ”Finally recognized as the best series on TV. Sorry, Tony (Soprano),” was Newsweek’s description. Creative COW’s Nick Griffin spent time on set earlier this year and interviewed one of the show’s Producers. Here’s his inside glimpse into The Wire and its production.

Thanks for writing this, Nick. This is awesome. Great insight to this great show.
I find it interesting that they choose to go 4:3 and create a ‘real life, real tv’ look, but yet they shoot on film. Hmm.
