‘Saturday Night Live’…2009 Time Lapse Video

This is the first SNL time lapse clip and was done in NBC’s Studio 8H five years ago, but the crane crew is still the same. On the boom arm is Louis Delli Paoli and Robert Mancari (cap), and Phil Pernice is driving. John Pinto is “in the bucket” on Camera 1, the Chapman Electra crane.

As Phil Pernice tells us, this was a Saturday rehearsal and the second part is dress rehearsal. The Thursday rehearsals are a lot slower as that’s the first time the cast and crew come together for camera blocking. By Friday afternoon, most of the scenery is on hand and things go a bit quicker, but there are still a lot of starts and stops. By late Saturday afternoon, things move along almost at the show pace. I’ll post the newer version next, so stay tuned! Enjoy and share!
