Directing style
Spaulding’s visual style relies on interior, night-driven environments to establish a tense, ominous, and mysterious atmosphere. He favors eye-level medium shots with a balanced mix of deep and shallow depth of field, rendering action and character blocking with clean, direct perspective. The lighting is heavily reliant on practical sources and headlights to pierce a predominantly cool, desaturated palette of dark grays, deep blues, and muted browns.
