BELOW THE LINE PODCAST

S24 - Ep 5 - Bosch: Legacy

Listen Later

Running a tight, emotionally grounded procedural is no small feat — especially when you're steering a beloved franchise into new territory.

On this week’s Below the Line, Skid sits down with Director Patrick Cady, 1st Assistant Director/Producer Trey Batchelor, Cinematographer Jason Andrew, and Gaffer Derrick Kolus to go behind the scenes of Bosch: Legacy, the three-season Amazon series that extended the universe of Michael Connelly’s iconic detective — and pushed the crew into new creative and logistical territory.

We cover:

  • How Bosch: Legacy balanced a fresh tone with the DNA of the original series
  • The shift to a 5-act structure, network oversight, and more “advertiser-friendly” creative mandates
  • How tight prep schedules, minimal standing sets, and constant location moves shaped every department’s workflow
  • Jason’s transition from Key Grip to Cinematographer, and how his background informed his pacing and shot planning
  • The challenges of lighting on the move — and how Derrick’s rigging strategy kept the crew ahead of schedule
  • Trey’s insight into cast performances, unexpected rewrites, and what it really means to “make the day”
  • Keeping continuity between DPs and episodes while balancing stylistic differences
  • The collaborative bond this crew built across 10+ years and two Bosch series

    • Along the way, they reflect on the show’s emotional arc, where it fits within the Bosch universe, and how Bosch: Legacy became a proving ground for tight collaboration, creative flexibility, and below-the-line excellence.
