As a DP I’ve enjoyed every single one of these productions. I hear film makers complain about these all the time. And hey, I enjoy shooting a feature film or pilot as much as anyone else! But this is just a different story-telling format, and one with a large, active fanbase. Episodic TV is a different format from feature films, which are different from shorts. And these are different yet again. But in the end – we’re in the business of telling stories. To date, I’ve shot 11 of these, each ranging from 80 to 120 pages, at a pace of 9 to 19 pages per day, with 12 pages/day being the average pace.
