Louis CK's Horace & Pete Camera Work

I feel like Opie doesn't talk enough about it... He should point out the tension we the viewers feel in the back of our minds knowing that if one person messes up during these 20 minute single shot scenes that they'd have to start the whole thing over!

Actually it's even worse listening to Louis talk about it. He went on Marc Maron again the other week to talk about nothing else. He almost cried several times talking about what the characters were going through

"It's still real to me, dammit!"

Opie thinks Fellini is a brand of pasta sauce.
Although he fashions himself a cinematographer, he's ignorant to current technology and doesn't understand how flawlessly things can be edited to appear as if a scene was shot in one take with no stops and no edits of the footage in post.

IKR? Fellini is clearly a noodle, and not a brand of sauce.

Fellini is the chorus-section between altos and sopranos.

NO, YOUR MOM IS.

Louis was talking about Philippe Petit, the guy who tightrope walked between the two towers and not Fellini. I guess everyone just misheard that.

Is it like when Howard bothers every actor about memorizing lines? Been hearing Howard do that crap for 30 years. Waiting for someone to call him an idiot and say the easiest part is remembering the lines. Hard part is figuring out the best way to deliver the lines. I'd understand if Howard was talking about a play in which you got to remember an hour or two if lines. But Howard has his mind blown that someone can memorize lines for a scene in a movie or tv show that lasts at most 5 minutes.

I know right, when I was sixteen I remembered every piece of dialogue for every character in The Importance of Being Earnest because I was playing one character (Jack). It was not hard, but yes, playing the character was the hard part. Memorising the words of a faggot made me feel immoral, but it wasn't difficult.

That's my favorite of the Ernest movies.

Jerry Seinfeld pretty much did this.
