Just take a moment and study the photo below from Television City&#8230;that&#8217;s tight in every way. The floor camera is shooting the actor on top (Edmond O&#8217;Brien), the crane is shooting the other, the boom is there for sound and there&#8217;s even a hand held face light.<\/p>\n<p>This takes choreography&#8230;a well laid plan and skilled crew. John Frankenheimer was one of the best ever live directors and did many of these shows. If you never have, take a look at &#8220;The Comedian&#8221; at the link below. Frankenheimer directed this &#8220;Playhouse 90&#8221; presentation that takes places behind the scenes at Television City&#8230;TK11s are everywhere.
