Digital Video - February 2009 - (Page 16) THEY LIKE TO ROCK THE PARTY QA & SHOOTING THE INNOVATIVE COMEDY SERIES FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS PROVES TO BE A CREATIVE JAM SESSION. Top: Troy Miller sets a shot on McKenzie, Clement and Kristen Schaal. Left: Patrick Stewart and Miller plan their coverage. I n 2007, the often-surreal HBO comedy series Flight of the Conchords became a breakout comedy hit for its starring musical duo, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. The two New Zealanders — trying to navigate life in New York City as they promote their fledgling rock band and deal with a lone, overzealous, fan — are sweetly naive, and often retreat into a creative fantasy realm when confronted by the realities of their Lower East Side existence, giving the show an unpredictable storytelling edge. For season two of the series, director of photography Patrick Stewart and executive producer-director-Steadicam operator Troy Miller moved up to HD, but the show’s signature style remains the same: raw, realistic visuals punctuated by stylish “music video” sequences that pay homage to classic references.
