I don’t know when it started but there is a new type of show that I call “cringe TV.” The first example of this kind of shows that I remember was the British version of “The Office”. Something that is painful to watch and yet very engaging and funny. The American version of “The Office” stars Steve Carrel of “Daily Show” fame, in the role of the inept Michael Scott. The show became an immediate success with multiple seasons now being already released on DVD. The crew of “2nd Unit” had the fortune and privilege to be on the set of the show for one day to conduct an interview with Randal Eyenhorn, the cinematographer/director/camera operator of the show. Randal sheds a lot of light, figuratively and literally, about the techniques used in the show. Click on the video below for part 1 of this great interview.
