We shot the first seven seasons of
“Desperate Housewives” on film
but this year I decided to take the
show HD, with Alexa. After a lot
of testing, we ended up using the
same lenses and same Schneider
Black Frost & True-Pol filters that
gave us our look on film. The only
issue we had was IR pollution when
shooting outdoors on Wisteria Lane.
Schneider came through for us with
some of the first sets of their great new
Platinum IRNDs,
IR NDs,and

Lowell Peterson ASC received an Emmy
nomination for the series “Six Feet
Under”, and three ASC nominations for
his other television work. He is currently
shooting the eighth and final season of
“Desperate Housewives”.
