Amazon Prime Master Crafts Recap: Artisans Draw Back the Curtain
Variety: 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.

This is a fantastic panel and a great idea that can give non-entertainment folks a glimpse into how much work it takes to create just one episode. The music section was especially interesting. It’s surprising that a show as big as“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” doesn’t have a composer but still has a lot of original pieces. What I love is how they tied in a specific song (Till There Was You) throughout not just episodes, but seasons, as an important marker of the relationship but also as an easter egg for lovers of the show.
The last paragraph, where Bernstein speaks about how they filmed the documentary before book banning was as big of an issue, really stuck out to me. We create art constantly, but especially in film it can take a long time to get to the audience, which can create a worry that it will no longer be relevant. But Bernstein’s statement shows that our art can continue to impact the audience throughout time, just in different ways than expected.
