[QUOTE="Garry, post: 126840, member: 250"] D.F: BRADFORD MAY JOINED AS DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ONE YEAR, GIVING THE SHOW A VERY CINEMATIC LOOK. THE LOOK IS VERY POPULAR WITH THE DALLAS FANS TODAY. DID YOU LIKE IT? DP: I did. I did like it. However, that was the only year he was on the show. I liked it because of the difference and the richness that it gave. But I think Lenny Katzman was probably right on insisting that we go back to the standard, wide shot, medium and close up, because what you wanted to see were those characters. You didn't want to see a director's idea of them. You wanted to see J.R talk, Sue Ellen talk, Pamela talk. You wanted to see them. And it was an entirely different show. Brad could have done wonderfully on Knots Landing for example. Because there, you had a lot of freedom to pretty well do anything you wanted. You had different looks there and different styles and that was all acceptable within the context of the show. Dallas was, face it; it was a cartoon.
