Members allmc2008 Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 For a long time I have been hearing that the original DS was broadcast live. However, I just watched an interview with Laura Parker and she basically said that it was taped two weeks or so in advance. Which is true? was it Live or Taped?

Members Quent Posted May 19, 2012 Members Share Posted May 19, 2012 It was taped, but it might as well have been live, since re-shoots and second takes were extremely rare. Unless an actor dropped dead in the scene, that was what you saw on camera. I can't tell you how many times I saw overhead microphones clearly visible in the scenes, or crew members accidentally walking into camer view, or actors (mostly Jonathan Frid) forgetting their lines, straining to find a cue card.

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted May 19, 2012 Members Share Posted May 19, 2012 One of the few times they (mercifully) retaped a scene was when Joan Bennett's Liz referred to Collinwood as "Hollywood." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 19, 2012 Members Share Posted May 19, 2012 I read some recently that the actor who played Barnabas actually paid the show to edit out some serious mistake (or acting blunder) he made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
