Hurried Humpday Triviola

Folks,

It's been a morning from hell here at the "day job" so sorry for the belated offering. And because my brain is already fried for the day I can only offer this blatent softball:

Both Norm and Roy do 1/2 hour shows. But there is a notable difference in how they tape their shows. What is it?

Does it have to do with the budget. I have not watched either show in years. I've heard the budget has something to do with Roy sometimes cutting himself and bleeding all over the project wood on the show.

Roy does his demonstration shows (not his visits to other craftsmen/artisans/artists) in one take start to finish. He also does them on a TV set where his space is extremely limited.

Norm's are carefully shot and re-shot as needed. He does them in a shop created specifically for the purpose of TV production.

I Forgot . . .

Roy sometimes bleeds; I've never seen Norm do that!

Why does the word embalmed suddenly pop into my mind?

The Answer

You guys got it. Roy shoots on the fly. Rarely does the camera ever stop...even during times of extreme hemmorrhaging. ;-)

Don't you all wish Norm would do an outtake show??
