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.
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.
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?
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.
Larry & Jim McConkey are insane. They use their skills and sheer physical power to make scenes like this possible. It may look relatively simple on-screen, but it isn't at all. Kudos to the them and the actors for pulling this off!
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.
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
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.
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."
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.
"But ONE thing you may not pay attention to...is cinematography." Me: "Actually, that's the first thing I thought about when I saw this scene" *shrug emoji*
Speaking of one shots. The movie Victoria a German indie film is entirely ONE SHOT. No cuts no editing nothing... just 2hrs in Berlin and 2 takes, the second one became the movie
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

This season was so good!
Underrated show, its so good
I wouldn't say it's underrated xd
It won multiple awards. Very good show. Critics know about it.

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

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.
We need to talk about the choreography of this scene too. This was a brilliant dance! So good!

I'm so glad you old New Yorkers are there to call bullshit on the internet. Bravo.👏
Yep.
Thank you!!!! When he said “fictitious” a piece of my soul died LOL
MAKE MORE OF THESE ITS SO INTERESTING
LOUD NOISES
B. Altman is not fictitious: it’s just not around anymore
And the City University of New York Graduate Center is currently occupying most of the building
Hahaha, so much for “great journalism”
@@michelleeebeans you should be more respectful
The boom operator and the camera crew deserve a hefty round of applause
This show deserves all the praise! It’s THAT good!
The man doing steady cam is doing a wonderful job.👌🏼👌🏼 good job man. Film is all a team effort!
Yes, we should know his name!
THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD
It just works
ALREADY!!
I see you everywhere
Justin you are fk everywhere
Early this time beich
SWISS001
I watched the entire 2nd season in one day, kinda kicking myself in the ass for it now. It was so good we couldn't stoppp
Rachel falls off the chair at the first take... I think she said that at Jimmy Kimmel !!
They showed the clip of it...yikes!
Marvelous Mrs Maisel team: It's hard to shoot a long shot in a cramped room
Someone: Let's put another person in there to document the whole process
I was Awestruck when I initially viewed this scene! Thanks for providing the mechanics of how it was performed.

Was this Larry or Jim on Steadicam?
@@jlmurrel I believe it was Larry on this, but I think Jim is the A Camera operator on the show in general.
@@RonDylewski -Thanks, Ron!
@@RonDylewski - thanks! I was surprised to learn from David Mullen that this was not shot with the Steadicam, but rather with the gimbal-based Movi.
@@jlmurrel Well, the vest is a Steadicam for sure...
Movies are so weird when you really think about it.
Lidocaine Rain how so?
Yes although this a tv show
@@fuzzytheduck how they are filmed
@@lasfloresdicen didn't know
@Ramiro Garcia cool 😄
They’ve always done amazing long shots.. its so impressive

Robert Quinn if there wasn’t anything wrong with it I don’t know why you’re worried about it
Hannah Joseph Exactly what I was thinking
@@aileean19- the one joke bit from Seinfeld I liked, and it's still working. Why did you both feel the need to reply?
If you don't love men in any romantic way you're not gay. Beyond that, really any interest is fair game.
The Empire-to-Eiffel transition is called "editing".
I absolutely love this show and I can’t wait for season 3!
This whole series is just magic.
Mr Robot's recent season had an episode with very long takes too. Really impressive stuff
What a masterpiece cinematography.
I didn't pay much attention to the complexity of the shot when I saw it. but it's a pretty incredible feat.
0:14 Cable Girls 😂😍
Thanks for that one! Really wanted to see this scene’s bts! 😍😍😍👏👏👏 Amazing!!!
*_I actually noticed this opening shot while watching season 2 and I thought it was amazing_*

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

The cinematography in this show was just so marvelous.... get it.... marvelous?
I’ll show myself out

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.
I can confirm. I worked two episodes. Amy likes to do one master with camera moving.
Who was the Steadicam operator???
*That’s how Hollywood works*
"But ONE thing you may not pay attention to...is cinematography."
Me: "Actually, that's the first thing I thought about when I saw this scene" *shrug emoji*
If you don’t recognize the art direction and cinematography of this show, are you actually watching it?
Very cool. Well done show on many levels.
Amy Sherman Palladino is genious!! There, I said it
She was a choreographer for years. The show certainly shows that.
She has a natural talent for blocking a scene.
Speaking of one shots. The movie Victoria a German indie film is entirely ONE SHOT. No cuts no editing nothing... just 2hrs in Berlin and 2 takes, the second one became the movie
So great!!
Spectacular series 9.5/10
there was just enough room for the cast member and the camera crew still they've made a behind the scene video also haha
this show is pure art
Marvelous. Just Marvelous!
Hey Modern Family, they have Steadycams now. Watch and learn !!
(Great job guys)
This show is SO GOOD
Dang it. Almost beat Justin Y.
SpyC lol
they need to make more of these videos
this is amazing!!
Amazing
Brilliant!
Brilliant show!!!
I love that show!
For the greatest one-take of all time, watch the movie Russian Ark. Entire movie one take with 2,000 actors.
Amazing !
It’s just soooo Marvelous
This serie its AMAZING. I love it!
Does anyone know what the clip at 5:56 is from?
Michelle Mah it’s from the show when midge and her dad fly to Paris 😊
Freefly gimbal for the win!
awesome!!
My girlfriend spent $500 to buy 50s aesthetic clothes and accessories
*SHE IS HOOKED*
They are pretty cute though
This is a super cute comment, I hope the two of you are happy ✨
B. Altman's WAS NOT a fictitious department store!!!!!
I know. I was there.
“Just leave everything to me” 🤷🏿♀️
Good lord, B. Altman's is NOT a "ficticious" department store. Can we get someone older than 12 to watch these shows?
B. Altman is not a fictional department store.
Name of the background song please?
imagine how hard it must be to hold those heavy cameras while staying still.
Yes, it's a chore. Imagine how much harder it was when a fully loaded Panaflex Gold or Platinum film camera weighed around 40 pounds!
B. Altman is not fictitious, it's out of business, but it was real.
So cool
Great scene for sure but the first episode of season 2 fell flat with me. Too unbelievable. However ep2 onward they got it back! Awesome show

I want to watch this show, but I don't have Netflix 😩
It’s not on Netflix. It’s on amazon prime
Was this a sarcastic comment?
I wish this was on Netflix, instead I have to make a free trial every time they release a new season.
@@hi-nw7qy just get prime then. They have really cool shows.
@@James.Stark.Ben.Edition
Nah, I get Netflix for free. Only reason I have it.
bravo!
Like a choreography.

Best.
I thought that this was filmed on different takes boy was I ever wrong

Wow
absolute madlad
You forgot Russian Ark
The way they showed how the scene from Just Kidding was shot - is more exciting. And this one is boring to watch
So... Justin y happened in the comments
you are incorrect birdman was not all one shot, go and do some research
Be gentle. Not everyone knows this stuff, ya know. :)
B. Altmans was not fictitious. It was very real.
LoLe
Love the concept of this video but poorly executed.
Ninetheent
season 2 sucks
*Amazing*
