After relocating to Los Angeles, Messerschmidt served as agaffer on TV series such asBones,Everybody Hates Chris, andMad Men. He also gained experience as a director of photography during this time, shooting commercials, short films, and documentaries. Messerschmidt had a working relationship with cinematographerJeff Cronenweth, who recommended him to directorDavid Fincher. Fincher hired Messerschmidt as a gaffer onGone Girl and, later, as director of photography for most episodes ofMindhunter andMank.[4][5][6] WithMindhunter, Messerschmidt explained that the color palette, "has a desaturated green-yellow look... [it] helps give the show its period feel". He stated the effect is achieved through production design, costumes and filming locations—not necessarily through lighting used on set.[7][8] In 2024, he shot an advertisement for the virtual reality gameBatman: Arkham Shadow.[9] He is set to serve as the cinematographer ofThe Batman: Part II (2027) for directorMatt Reeves.[10]
