 Where there problems filming with so many new girls?
No, all it meant was that every scene that we had with them all in we had to shoot it in 500 different directions. One of the problems of shooting a show like Buffy or Angel is that you’re limited for time, and it cuts down your choices – you can’t walk from this side of the room to that side of the room because it means that you have to cover the shot again from a different point of view. So it comes down to, “Where can I move without actually increasing the time that we have to have on camera?" It’s a little limiting, but ultimately, for the pay-off, which I thought was well worth it.
I asked Joss on the last week, “When did you come up with this twist?” and he said “Oh, about a year and a half ago!” He’s got an incredible brain, and everything had been working towards that for a year and a half. So the pay-off was worth any amount of extra coverage we had to shoot.
