| Must See: How Showtime’s ‘Kidding’ Pulled Off Incredible One-Shot Scene (Video) |
|
When it comes to one-shot takes on television, it’s hard to top that famous scene from HBO’s True Detective. But the new Showtime series Kidding, which was just given a season two, delivered an impressive one recently that really has to be seen if you haven’t already. The scene shows a woman (played by Riki Lindhome) transforming her life over an extended period of time after being inspired by the show within Kidding, “Mr. Pickles’ Puppet Time,” which is hosted by star Jim Carrey. The shot, which runs a little under two minutes, all takes place in a small apartment with the camera panning around as we see her life changing. It’s awesome to see on its own, but becomes truly incredible when you see how they pulled it off. As the camera pans the room the crew quickly moves in behind it to change the set, while actors move in and out including Lindhome, who also has multiple wardrobe changes to pull off while making her way to each next shot she’s in. You can see how it went in the video below, which shows the scene next to the cast and crew pulling it off.

We just have to wait until next year instead of getting it sometime this year as originally planned. To help fans pass the time, the official cast has been revealed. That might not sound like something that would pass any time, but you’ve not yet seen the list. It clocks in at over 200 names, many of which are familiar—some returning stars reprising their roles, which are marked with an asterisk; others just familiar names from different places such as actors like Amanda Seyfried, Tim Roth, Monica Bellucci, and Michael Cera, musicians Trent Reznor and Eddie Vedder, and even MMA star Michael Bisping, just to give you a small sampling.
