‘I Love Lucy’…Warming Up The Audience

Here is a new shot of Desi doing the audience warm up for the show. Part of his routine was to tell the audience not to worry about having their view blocked by the cameras, because “they would never be in the way”. At that point, all three dollied in for a tight shot and no one could see Desi. This always got a laugh.  By the way, these Mitchell cameras are fitted with 1000 foot magazines which was good for about eleven minutes. Enjoy and share!
