On Aug. 3, Prime Video and Variety collaborated to host Master Crafts at Nya Studios East, an event featuring the Emmy-nominated artisans behind Prime Video’s shows.
Moderated by Variety’s senior artisans editor Jazz Tangcay, the five panels included “Music to Our Ears,” with music supervisors, sound editors and mixers; “World Building” with cinematographers, production designers and a VFX supervisor; “Looking the Part,” with costume designers and makeup artists; “Names and Faces” with casting directors; and “The Final Cut” with producers.
The creatives behind critically acclaimed shows such as “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Daisy Jones and the Six,” “Jury Duty,” “Swarm,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” “Judy Blume Forever,” and “Dead Ringers” participated in the event. Speaking on a wide range of topics, the panelists drew back the curtain on some of this year’s most popular shows and explained how they brought them to life on screen.
