“Suddenly, I realized how tough trying to structure a story like this is. It was a lot of work. The one big advantage that we had was that we had eight scripts written before we started shooting, or even started casting. We had a really good opportunity to look at it and figure out where we were going to go and how to do it. Once we got a cast, which I love, then we started doing some revisions to make sure that they fit into it.” TryingLooksStoriesBigsOpportunityWrittenFiguresFitToughAdvantageStructureScriptsCastsEightI RealizedShootingCastingRevisionGood Opportunity Author:Remi Aubuchon
“What we were trying very hard to do, just in the way we shot it, was to make it feel as if we're in that environment ourselves, just so we can get a grasp on what it is. A lot of our influence was about getting stuck on a level on any of those video games, where you find yourself caught and you can't get out, and it's maddening. We talked a lot about that.” IfsWayFeelsTryingHardGamesLevelsEnvironmentInfluenceShotsCaughtStuckVideoFinding Yourself Author:Remi Aubuchon
“What we're really trying to tell, even though it's very much a genre show, is a very human story. Even in this heightened situation, it still comes down to people being people, and dealing with people as people. It really is about the seven people in that town.” PeopleTryingHumansStillsStoriesShowsSituationTownsSevenGenreDealing With People Author:Remi Aubuchon
“I think that was in the discussions when NBC finally bought it and was trying to figure out how to distinguish it as an event. I'll be honest, we did shoot it with the idea of it being an on-going series, but because I am insane when I get to the end of a season and they give you a big, giant cliff-hanger with no answers, I insisted that we provide all the answers to the questions that we set up, at the beginning.” ThinkingGivingTryingIdeasEndsBigsAnswersHonestEventsFiguresSeasonsSeriesInsaneBeing HonestDiscussionGiantsCliffsNbcHangers Author:Remi Aubuchon
“When you're working on a television show with actors, what you hope you're doing is playing jazz with them all the time. You see what they're giving you, so you try to write back to that, and then they play with that, and you get a sense of what is going on. That's just a natural way in which TV series usually work.” WayGivingWritingTryingPlayShowsActorsNaturalTelevisionTvsJazzSeriesTelevision ShowsTv SeriesPlaying Jazz Author:Remi Aubuchon
“I ended up working on "Chicago Hope" and other things, but always with the idea that, eventually, I would want to take what I'd learned in character drama and try to apply that to the genre that I love, which is science fiction and "The Twilight Zone" type mysteries.” WantTryingIdeasCharacterFictionMysteryTypeDramaScience FictionGenreZoneChicagoTwilightTwilight Zone Author:Remi Aubuchon
