cool neat fact about true detective s1 (if you didn't already know!) is that all of the 1995 sequences were filmed on physical film and weren't filmed in popular/contemporary digital format. the 2002 era onward was all filmed digitally, so you may have noticed a subtle shift in the atmospheric quality of the cinematography. genius choices. peak cinema. and every time I rewatch the 1995 sequences I can't believe how gorgeous they are, how the film adds this silent layer of ambiance. you can sense it in a strange way that adds to the viewing experience. good shit!
edit as of may 2024: I had to come back on here and do some minor course correction, because back in the distant epoch of 2014 there was some popular misinformation going around online (between here and reddit, I believe) at the time about the era-specific filming nuances and my grizzled memory did not understand the full scope of the actual filming technique. APPARENTLY, the entire season was indeed shot on 35mm film on a vintage camera (adam arkapaw you will always be famous), but they specifically changed the lenses used on the camera to depict subtle differences in the picture and cinematic experience between 1995/2002 and then later in 2012. the more you fucking know
