| Richard
Stringer has a documentary background and much
experience in drama production. This makes his
talents ideal for the Docudrama format. Two crime
series which feature actuality filming of police
and forensic personnel combined with narrated dramatic
recreations have won Richard Stringer many awards
with very unique stylistic visual treatments. “Exhibit
A” utilized the portability of Mini DV camcorders
at a time when the first models came on the market. “72
Hours” uses Panasonic 720p HD cameras with
film lenses creating shallow depth of field and
unique perspectives.
These are some Richaqrd Stringer’s Docudrama
