So we really shot it in a way that was like we were eavesdropping on Pam and one of the things I love about the shot is that when Jim walks in, Pam’s back is to us. We shot it with one camera only, and the camera was hidden far away from where Pam was standing, talking on the phone with her mother. To me, it helped sell the idea that the documentary crew was just there to capture something as opposed to the scenes they staged for the benefit of the camera.
And in in particular, there were times when one actor would block the other, you wouldn’t have a good view or as much of a view if you had asked the actors to hit specific marks. Part of the style of the show was that it wasn’t important that actors hit precise marks. And of course, this:ĮW.com talked to episode director Ken Kwapis about filming these watershed scenes for Jim & Pam. This Second Season finale, written by Steve Carell himself, gave us so many great things: Dinkin’ Flicka, Scrantonicity, Afghanistinanis, “I hate so much about the things you chose to be”, Michael having 2 Queens on Casino Night. Hey Office Flans! If you can believe it, today is the the 10th anniversary of the airing of Casino Night.
