Recently I had the opportunity to visit one of my friend and camera operator at Warner Brothers Studios on The Big Bang Theory set in LA.
It was a great privilege touring the set meeting production staff. Cinematographer Steven Silver, ASC brings the show to life with his color pallet and choice in lighting configuration.
Big Bang uses three Panavision F55 cameras and shoots entire scenes at one time. This allows them to avoid for the most part taking an establishment shot followed by take 2,3,4... for coverage. They won an Emmy for their camera work seen below. This multi-camera technique is similar to filming a wedding ceremony.
At Center Motion we use 3 cameras for weddings. Similar to Big Bang Theory we take (a) establishing shots, and (b) coverage such as over the shoulder at the same time. This is great since couples never respond well if asked to do take 2 of the ceremony...
