My favorite part of THE BEAR is the filmmaking. I can't say that about too many scripted series where the writing and performances tend to take center stage. This show always feels like a cinematic experience.
Are you watching the BEAR? Are there any other TV shows that feel like a cinematic experie...

That is fun! Miniature work is so amazing. I met the people who used to do that show Ice Truckers and they told me the did all this kind of work for that show. Looks so real.
Incredible, Mark Deuce! I'm sure using miniatures saves filmmakers and companies a lot of money.
Wow Xochi Blymyer I did not know that Ice truckers used the mini´s!
I totally agree Maurice Vaughan and with the technology today, IT LOOKS SOOOO REAL.
Happy about the timing of this July journey Stage32 put together because I am in development of a book adaptation script. Can't think of a more effective motivation than to know that you've got hundreds of fellow filmmakers 'working alongside you' the entire month!

Jason Mirch I was thinking the same thing, but I don't think they are allowed to make money off it, which might be the crux here.
OOhhhh!, ...I'll hold my tongue/comments for now! This is one to have "very careful" input, "if any"!!
A very great point Jason Mirch
Even in the documentary space they would need permission unless the images were transformative enough to become new works of art.
In scripted shows, everything does go through legal to get approval to use photos and such. If they didn't get any agreement and just assumed, I would think it's his right to sue or get compensation and/or tell them to take it out of the show.
Few more spots left :) In this exclusive Stage 32 virtual class, Sean is going to walk you through, step by step, everything you need to consider legally for your feature film. He'll start by making sure that you understand that your film's corporation is set up correctly, which is the framework for...
