This American Life with Ira Glass: It's A Wrap Montage

[zenfrog1973]

anyone ever see the intro's for most of Monty Python's Flying Circus, in particular John Cleese saying "...And Now For Something Completely Different"? If not, have a look at it and tell me what you see.

0:06 to 0:13 = salt polygons. A form of "patterned ground."

Man I love it. How on earth would they mic that? Wireless lavs I guess?

[Octopusbeak]

I'm pretty sure the desk isn't actually in those places... You were probably kidding though so i'll just leave now...

[manonthedollar]

Actually I'm pretty those are shot on location. I'm a video guy, so I know it would be near impossible to match the lighting, reflections, etc, and blend him so perfectly on the budget they had.

I sure miss the desk in season two. It strongly contributed to the show's personality, and now it's missing.

[manonthedollar]

Actually I'm pretty SURE*. I'm not pretty.

[Octopusbeak]

I looked at it again, i think you're right, but at about :26, it really doesn't look right, and it would be really hard to get the desk there. I think some of them are and some of them aren't. I was thinking about :26 when i put up the last comment...

[TurtleVVisperer]

All of these shots were shot on location. In the actual TV show they show some outtakes on location.

In fact, the first "related video" to this one is one of them.

There is a mic on his desk

The show is on iTunes for pretty cheap, and Ira said Saturday night at a presentation in Houston that the DVD would be out in February.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....­.......

[rocketxsoul]

The show is pretty awesome. I'm pretty sure that desk is on location.

"And now for something completely different..."

[jwca]

I love that you don't even acknowledge the fact that you and the desk are in all kinds of funky places. It really works.
