The directors of Cinematography of Moana 2 talk through the lighting design and the camera language used across three of the songs, “Who We’re Meant To Be”, “Get Lost” and “Cheehoo” and how it supports the progression of Moana’s physical and emotional journey, touching on themes of “Heightened Reality”, “Chaotic Theatrics” and “Playful abstraction”.
