In the midst of the world shutting down and people being forced to isolate during the Covid-19 pandemic, The White Lotus emerged, serving as an escapist travelogue and a sardonic glimpse into the lives of the very wealthy. Now in its third season, the anthology series continues with yet another set of characters and stories, a whole new backdrop, and a scale that far surpasses the pandemic restrictions set upon the first season. Even so, some restrictions have morphed into traditions as the cast and crew still live and work in the hotels where they’re shooting for the duration of production.
Camera Operator had a chance to sit down with A camera operator Frank Larson, SOC; B camera and Steadicam operator Armando Avallone, SOC; and series creator Mike White to talk about what made Season 3 of The White Lotus different from what has come before and which aspects of the production felt like coming home.
Season 3 of The White Lotus moves to the jungles of Thailand where we meet up with a whole new cast of characters having their own crises amidst the decadent luxury of the White Lotus resort. The White Lotus is created by Mike White and stars Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Scott Glenn, Walton Goggins, Jon Gries, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Sam Rockwell, Natasha Rothwell, Patrick Swarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, and Aimee Lou Wood.
