What lenses and cameras captured the haunting and stunning world of HBO’s The Last of Us?
There is no denying the power behind the haunting visuals in The Last of Us. Based on the 2013 video game from Naughty Dog, game creator Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin crafted a post-apocalyptic world that is distant yet eerily too familiar for many viewers born before the 21st century.
The Last of Us is a world where time seemingly stops on September 26, 2003, also known as Outbreak Day. Those who managed to survive the violent and “infected” cordyceps now struggle to rebuild their lives from the ruins of civilization. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a grieving father who still carries the weight of his loss two decades later, and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a teenage girl who possesses immunity that could potentially cure the world, are among these survivors and have been unexpectedly thrust together. We follow their perilous journey from Boston’s quarantine zone to the untamed wilderness of the west, where they must confront rebels, raiders, and the infected.
