@tvaziri@mastodon.social on the official podcast with Ben stiller and Adam Scott, after a S2 episode where the camera started on the Severed floor, then descended down a cable run down to the testing floor and popped up at a new set of consoles, Ben said something like “we filmed that practically”. And what he meant was that they used some kind probe or periscope lens to film going through a cable run. 1/2

But of course, that shot was stitched together digitally with the starting and ending shots, because he didn’t mean that they actually built a 2-story set and maneuvered a camera between them in a continuous shot. But, after the episode aired people were all over the internet talking about how that shot was a “continuous, practical shot with no CGI”, even though that’s not even close to what Ben Stiller has said 2/2
