And as in House of the Dragon, plotlines built around which characters will ultimately be anointed leader and/or savior also anchor fellow Emmy contenders The Last of Us…

During production, Swarm costume designer Dominique Dawson thought about how society so often ignores Black women and makes them feel unseen, and so she strived “to showcase a wide range of different Black female identities” in designing the looks for this Prime Video show. She notes that the three nominations for Swarm this year are all for Black women: Dawson, writer Janine Nabers and star Dominique Fishback. She breaks down the grand finale look for pop star Ni’Jah (played by Nirine S. Brown), the subject of a violent fixation on the part of Dre (Fishback).…

Seasoned cinematographer Dean Cundey turns his lens to a galaxy far, far away for Disney+’s The Mandalorian, for which he shot three of the most recent season’s episodes. Cundey, whose résumé includes Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and Halloween, chose this shot to highlight the ways in which various departments work together to create an illusion and a feeling of adventure. “It was so much a team effort,” he says, noting that “what was photographed was a very small portion of the stone wall that was expanded by the brilliant visual effects people into a very threatening cliff on a mountain.” The actual set, made to look onscreen to be thousands of feet in the air, was “ironically, a pretty safe environment: a backlot with a carved foam/plastic wall,…
