I don't know why I did this.
And usually I don't leave a day feeling that way.
It's usually somewhere closer to the middle.
But that day I left and I was just like, oh, that is that.
That was that.
I hope Mad Men goes forever because this door has been closed.
So it was such a relief.
No one felt like that.
I mean, the ways we are similar is a very short list.
The Mad Men set, the filming style was entirely different.
First off, for the first...
three, maybe four seasons of Mad Men, we were still shooting on film.
So at this time, when I was doing The Office, we were definitely shooting on film.
And that, you know, for anyone who's been on a set where they're filming, with film, it's a whole other process.
adds a remarkable amount of time.
When you're even just changing a film mag, the cartridge of film, it has to be sort of taken to a dark place and dealt with so that it can be sent off for processing.
And the turnarounds on scenes, moving the camera around takes
I don't know, not twice as long, but a lot longer.
So the fact that on The Office they would hit roll and almost never stop until they were out of tape, as I recall.
