I'm sure someone must have brought this up at some point over the years, but tonight while watching the episode about Opie's report card on MeTV ("Opie's Ill-Gotten Gain"), I could really see the effect of Andy's preference for the "one-camera" technique that TAGS used.
During the famous and funny scene where Andy is "helping" Barney recite the Preamble to the Constitution, the close-ups of Barney after about a minute show his hair a total mess while he is trying to remember the words. But in the distant shot showing both Andy & Barney, Barney's hair looks neat and combed. This happens about 3 or 4 times, as the scenes go from distant shot to close-up, and back again. Just thought it was worth mentioning. Here's a link to the clip - a classic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHS7vGeDHaY Joe Suszczynski Grand Island, NY _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
