Dark Shadows (1966)

00x47 Stuart Goodman Interview

Cameraman Stuart Goodman talks about working with Lela Swift before Dark Shadows and being hired as one of the first three cameramen. How they began working with bulky black & white camera with turrets and zoom lenses and how they would often bang into the sets, actors, and even other cameras. As the show progressed and took on a horror theme they began to experiment with special camera effects normally only used in movies and taking an entire day on a movie production, whereas they were shooting in one day as if it were live, which it occasionally was. He also talks about the daily schedule with camera blocking, shot-cards for each scene and teleprompters. He also talks about lunch during the day and how when leaving the set with the actors he would often be mobbed by fans seeking autographs even though he was not a star.
