Members John Posted August 8, 2020 Members Share Posted August 8, 2020 Thought I heard GH is taping with actors 6-8 ft apart but using editing to make them look closer in air shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted August 10, 2020 Members Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Perhaps some editing is going on but there's no mistaking that the actors are near each other in these scenes. Hell, Maurice Bernard just touched Lindsay Hartley as they were standing face to face, as did Becky Herbst. And they need to keep Lindsay. She's brought energy to the show that was really lacking.

Members John Posted August 10, 2020 Members Share Posted August 10, 2020 know the british soaps are using camera and editing to make actors look closer than they are. Plus I believe GH does daily testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 I believe the daily testing over GH having movie level CGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 I've edited, and not those kind of tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 Agreed about the spacing. I also agree GH should keep Lindsay Hartley as Sam. I like Kelly Monaco, but Lindsay has put life into Sam, and has outshined Monaco by miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 There are clear examples of forced perspective editing going on in some scenes. And then there are also clear examples of people right next each other, facing each other, etc not distanced at all, that were not filmed before. CD’s longer hair, LH as Sam as examples. I wish someone would just say what they are doing, because it’s clearly less distances than the other shows (although I haven’t seen anyone in bed with a Real Doll yet).

Members Vizion Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 I mean today we saw Michael hug Diane, Carly hug Michael, Valentin repeatedly putting his hands around Lucy's waist, Sam and Jason holding hands, Sam kissing Jason on his forehead, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) I know. I'm very confused. Are they all quarantining? Like ... that's not editing lol I too heard some was filmed before but that kinda can't be with Chad's ugly new hair color and style and Lindsay being there. I know I could search on my own but where do I recognize tempBrook Lynn from? And what a shame Amanda Setton wasn't able to film these scenes of Ned finding out she sold her shares. Should have been a really good scene but it all fell so flat. Not blaming the new actress, the writing and direction on this show just SUCK. Soaps just lack energy. All of them are lethargic. And I'm pretty sure I said it for months if not over a year that Sasha or Willow needed to be Lucy's daughter. I've been preaching they needed to use Lucy more ... imagine Willow being Chrissy and Harmony being Julie Devlin? It would have given Lucy and Kevin instant story. Wouldn't want that ... Nelle being Nina's daughter is one of the worst kept secrets and I don't even feel like using a spoiler tag for it. It's blatantly obvious. Supposedly Willow and Nelle are twins. LMAO. I can't with this show. I'm so tired of forcing connections and "Nina's legacy". I love you Watros but Nina is useless, still.

Members Vee Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) There is no way "editing" can explain a lot of the closeness on GH. I've edited and I promise you, we don't do that. Nor is ABC rolling out money to allow GH to CGI people, lol. They would never give that money to these shows now. These people are in the same close space and IMO it is not safe. Yes, the show looks less embarrassing than B&B. But I think they're taking way too many risks and it's going to go bad. And for what - a rushed return for a show that needs a huge creative reset.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 They have to be doing constant testing. That's the only way that people could be so close together. If you know for a fact that all the people around you tested negative, why stay far apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't trust constant testing in this environment and with things in this city (LA) being as they are. There's too many variables. And given the allegations re: why Monaco is out (allegedly, not being willing to properly follow safety protocols on or off-show) I wouldn't be near her either.

Members BoldRestless Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 Lucy mentioned something about raising money for the Nurse's Ball the other day. Surely they're not going to try a big ensemble episode? Googling around I found these protocols: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6941686-HOO-Appendix-J-Reopening-Protocol-for-Music.html There's a lot of weasel words in here. Any contact closer than six feet must be "as brief as possible." Scenes with direct prolonged physical contact (love scenes) are "discouraged." Crowd scenes "should" be avoided. There's lots of leeway there and apparently GH/ABC are taking more risks than CBS on things that aren't outright banned. Melissa Claire Egan said in this interview that they actually have a 6 foot long rope that they have to hold to make sure they're far enough apart: https://www.soapsindepth.com/posts/the-young-the-restless/melissa-claire-egan-returning-to-work-whats-next-for-chelsea-adam I don't like GH taking those risks but I also don't think soaps can really be filmed the way Y&R and B&B are doing it, nor do I expect primetime shows to come back with zero physical contact between the actors. My vote is for safety and not filming at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
