That Was Us
This week on That Was Us, we’re beyond excited to welcome cinematographer Yasu Tanida, the visionary behind the distinctive look of This Is Us. Yasu takes us behind the camera to reveal how he helped create the show's signature visual language, from its soft and nostalgic aesthetic to the intimate handheld style that made viewers feel like they were living alongside the Pearson family. In this episode, Yasu chats about: * How he developed the iconic visual style of This Is Us and why the show was designed to feel like a memory * The handheld camerawork and lens choices that helped create intimacy with the Pearson family * Working to “detune” lenses and create the soft, dreamy glow seen throughout the series * The role color palette, framing, and composition play in creating the show's nostalgic tone * Why the camera often sits outside rooms, quietly observing the characters * Collaborating with the lighting team to create beautiful images * The technical considerations of lighting different skin tones * His philosophy that actors and story always come first * Creating efficient lighting setups that allow scenes to flow naturally * Spending time in the editing room with Dan Fogelman to learn the visual “language” of the show and refine his storytelling instincts * How he pushed the signature This Is Us look even further on Paradise and other projects And a friendly reminder, you can catch new episodes of That Was Us every Monday, a day early, exclusively on Hulu.

Joining the series at just eight years old and wrapping at fourteen, Faithe reflects on what it was like to spend her childhood on one of television’s most beloved family dramas, and how the cast became a second family along the way. In this episode, Faithe chats about: • Booking This Is Us as her very first TV pilot audition and the unforgettable callback process • Growing up alongside Eris Baker and Lyric Ross and how their on-screen sibling bond became a real-life friendship • What it was like working with Sterling K. Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson as her TV parents for six seasons • Annie Pearson’s evolution from the quiet observer of the family to one of the show's most emotionally insightful characters • The memorable scene with Ron Cephas Jones and why it helped her see Annie in a new way • Learning the craft of acting as she got older and discovering a genuine passion for performance • The emotional party popper scene and the lesson Sterling taught her afterward • Expanding her career beyond This Is Us with projects like Shazam! and Watchmen • Making the long commute from San Diego to Los Angeles • Attending the SAG Awards as a kid and navigating growing up in the spotlight • Sterling’s efforts to make sure Annie remained part of the show’s final chapter and why Annie’s appearance on the train meant so much • Starting college, turning eighteen, and finding balance between school, adulthood, and her acting career And a friendly reminder, you can catch new episodes of That Was Us every Monday, a day early, exclusively on Hulu.
