Go behind the look and visual strategy of Netflix’s ‘Physical: Asia’ with DP Jae-Young Park 박재영 촬영감독 of Bravo Pictures. Park breaks down how the new season achieved its look by leaning into a more cinematic language, delivering dramatic close-ups and integrating the RED V-RAPTOR into a multi-camera broadcast system.
