Directing style
Rich Moore’s visual style relies on expansive, deep-focus wide and establishing shots to construct busy, chaotic environments, frequently captured from a neutral eye-level perspective with occasional high-angle overlooks. His worlds are defined by a highly saturated, technicolor palette rich in vibrant pinks, oranges, purples, and cyans, split evenly between interior and exterior settings across day and night. The lighting design leans heavily on artificial, modern sources like neon, fluorescent tubes, and emissive screen glows, which contrast against natural sunlight to heighten the tense, frenetic energy of his scenes.
