Every long oner has hidden cuts. These range from really simple, like something moving across the foreground to hide a wipe, to really difficult (expensive) like fully CG doubles to merge shots (probably too expensive for this TV show).
I would suspect that at least 80% of the time, when something (or more often someone) moves accross the whole frame in front of everything else, its obscuring a wipe to the next shot.
There is at least one (art house) thriller done in one cut, Victoria, rather impressive for a future length movies that includes several locations and driving in a car.
He could be lying, but the cinematographer for it says each episode was a single shot
I dont see why he’d say that if it wasnt as he’d look pretty stupid if some else came out and contradicted him.
Seems rather poetic then factual statement - what does " whether I wanted it to be or not." in this context even mean?
I think it’s refering to that they were only using a single camera and that the episodes were performed all the way though (up to 16 times per that article) on location without stopping. With those constraints there isnt really a way to make cuts.
