In Jeff Nichols’s latest film “Mud,†Matthew McConaughey plays the title character as a man who is always on the move. The character is discovered hiding out on an island in the Mississippi River by two Arkansas boys (Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland). To capture a constantly moving character, Mr. Nichols and his crew used a Steadicam camera to create sense of fluidity. In this video, Mr. Nichols narrates a scene where the boys bring food to Mud on the island. He discusses his camera choices and how they supplement his narrative.
