How 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Filmed This Long Scene In One Shot | Movies Insider

[@becauseingridsaidso]

their efforts did not go unnoticed. this show is absolutely fascinating to watch. they do some beautiful long shots and editing cuts, the costumes, the sets, the dialogue. my brain explodes w every episode.

[@iamscythed]

This season was so good!

[@blinkdoge]

Underrated show, its so good

[@stanisawszataniak2553]

I wouldn't say it's underrated xd

[@morgainenyc]

It won multiple awards. Very good show. Critics know about it.

[@baoyumak4343]

I wouldn’t say it’s underrated. It swept the Emmys and a Golden Globes two years in a row and has been advertised like mad. Now something like _Who is America?_ May be underrated.

[@Laceykat66]

Very well rated show, just wish they did not go a year between seasons.

[@cwg73160]

Please tell us HOW it’s underrated... It won multiple Golden Globes including Best TV series - Musical or Comedy, two Critics’ Choice Television Award including Best Comedy Series, a Peabody Award, multiple Primetime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Comedy Series, multiple Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Is it really underrated or is that just the cool thing to say?

[@KushagraaDubeyy]

The show is so so great that even as a filmmaker I almost never consciously was aware of how great individual elements like cinematography is.

B. Altman and Company Was A Real Department Store in New York City at 34th Street and 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The Firm was in business from 1865 to 1989. There was Nothing Fictional About It. The Depiction Of The Store is Very Accurate. It looked and functioned just like that in 1967, the first time my Great Grandmother, Grandmother, and Mother forced us ( myself and siblings) to go shopping all day in Manhattan.

[@constancemiller3753]

Was this Larry or Jim on Steadicam?

[@robertquinn8210]

A word I did not hear was choreography. This season was so beautifully choreographed throughout. That Empire to Eiffel shot was kaleidoscopic choreography. But, GDit, I don't want people to think I'm gay for being so awestruck. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[@gabzpot]

Sebastian Schipper's movie Victoria is a perfect example of a real one shot without cut scene. The whole movie is one shot. Better than the "one shot" in Birdman.

[@somewherelongago]

Well, technically both Birdman and that car scene from Children of Men contains several cuts. They filmed it on multiple cameras and utilized heavy VFX work to make it appears as one shot. Birdman, in particular, used several whip pan to hide its editing, the opening scene from La La Land did the same thing too, but to a somewhat less subtle extent

[@jlmurrel]

This is absolutely true. Rarely is it every just one 'single' shot.

[@ryotaochi7903]

Amazing camera work. Camera person must’ve danced around actresses while holding camera. I wonder how many takes it required to get one shot successfully.

[@ednatrumbull]

I can confirm. I worked two episodes. Amy likes to do one master with camera moving.

I would love to hear the conversation on the lighting in that switchboard room. "We want the lighting to really pop. But the camera moves so much, there's nowhere to hide the lights." "Let's just put bright light bulbs on the switchboards to light their faces." "But how will we conceal the lights? I don't think post can do it." "Just leave them in." "And have the viewer think that switchboard operators constantly had bare light bulbs in their line of sight while they worked?" "They won't think about it."

[@ElmerCat]

The switchboards look pretty, but they are horribly inaccurate in many ways. First of all, they're toll switchboards which were used by long-distance operators at the phone company. PBX switchboards such as at a department store looked quite different. Most obviously, PBX switchboards had rotary dials instead of the key-pulse sets on these toll switchboards. Also, a PBX would not have Calculographs - the clock-like devices with two large levers - which were used by toll operators to calculate the charges for long distance calls. While, the pattern of lights on the switchboards is completely unrealistic, most egregious of all are large, bare light bulbs. No switchboard would ever have such lighting because it would blind the operator to the real signal lamps they needed to see! Yes I know, they did it as a way of lighting the actresses faces, but to anyone who's ever operated a real switchboard it looks ridiculous. Also ridiculous is the idea of needing 12 operators. A store such as B. Altman probably had only two or three operators; maybe just one. Back in the day, real PBX operators knew everybody in the building and could multitask many calls at the same time. It's really a lost art!

[@RaymondHng]

Up until the mid '80s, the administrative office at the Ferry Building in San Francisco had a cordboard. One console was enough to handle the call volume. There was only one operator and a rotary dial. The cordboard was connected to several banks of step-by-step Strowger switches in the telephone room.

[@DannoFZ1]

If you want to talk long, continuous shots, you would be remiss not to mention 1992's The Player who's opening shot clocking in at 7 minutes, 47 seconds without an edit.

[@AleTello]

Iñárritu, you see that funky little tilde? Spanish speakers cheat because it tells them which syllable is stressed when pronouncing the word. i -ÑÁ-rri-tu not i-ña-RRI-tu. Try it.

[@RaymondHng]

In Spanish, the default stress is on the penultimate (next-to-last) syllable on words that end in a vowel, ⟨n⟩ or ⟨s⟩ and on the final syllable when the word ends in any consonant other than ⟨n⟩ or ⟨s⟩. Words that do not follow the default stress have an acute accent over the stressed vowel. The tilde has nothing to do with stress. _n_ and _ñ_ are two distinctly separate letters and are pronounced differently.
