“We do want the freedom to move scenes from episode to episode to episode.

“One thing that is very different technically is that you don't get a lot of coverage in television. Not like you do on a film.

That way, if I don't have time to do five set-ups, I can do four cameras in one set-up. It's a different kind of approach for that.
