Ep. #14: "Adolescence" with 1st AD Sarah Lucas & 3rd AD Ash Spall

This episode features two Assistant Directors who might as well be legends already: 1st AD Sarah Lucas and 3rd AD Ash Spall. Sarah and Ash will be telling us how the hell they pulled off Netflix’s latest hit miniseries, Adolescence.The show got so much love from within the industry because of its sheer technical ambition. The show uses these long, unbroken one-shots that only work when every single department is perfectly in sync – camera, lighting, sound and of course the ADs and the background action. It’s so rare to see our craft so clearly reflected on screen. And honestly? It’s a bit of a love letter to what we do. So we couldn't be happier to speak with Sarah and Ash today about how you plan a shoot when you can´t do it with a regular shooting schedule. So let´s dive and hear about their work which is nothing short of a masterclass in AD-ing. Enjoy!As always, if you have any thoughts, ideas or guest requests for the future, we are happy to hear from you.
