station, on stage, used two to three days out of every eight. “Our grips came up with a good solution for the stage windows, using a light-blue grid cloth for the sky,” Galler informs. “It was supposed to be this burning Texas sky, but I wanted to hold some blue, so that came through just enough even though we were overexposing a bit at the very top of the camera’s dynamic range, so that little bit of blue didn’t feel like a translight or a backing. We used that in any scenes set up on a third or fourth floor, like her hotel room and the upper floors of the police station.” Galler’s work on the DI would extend to supervising color on five of his episodes, while Campbell reports spending three days with Fotokem’s senior colorist, Kostas Theodosiou. “I was just so jazzed with the results,” Campbell exclaims. “Sam called and told me, ‘This looks insane!’ So I told him that we should do something different like this on our next job together. “Back when I first read the script, the part with the zoo animals roaming the town and Rosario meeting a giraffe hooked me,” Campbell concludes. “It had that offbeat Fargo kind of vibe, surprising, like anything can happen, and no idea where it was going to go. I went into work the next morning and told Sam that the script was really good.’ And he just looked at me and said, ‘Dude, I don’t produce bad stuff.’ Man, he really doesn’t.”
