    He could be lying, but the cinematographer for it says each episode was a single shot

    “There’s no stitching of takes together," cinematographer Matthew Lewis told Variety. “It was one entire shot, whether I wanted it to be or not.”

    I dont see why he’d say that if it wasnt as he’d look pretty stupid if some else came out and contradicted him.

      Seems rather poetic then factual statement - what does " whether I wanted it to be or not." in this context even mean?

        I think it’s refering to that they were only using a single camera and that the episodes were performed all the way though (up to 16 times per that article) on location without stopping. With those constraints there isnt really a way to make cuts.

          I read it up and every episode is indeed one take. Nice, I think there is basically only a few one take featured films.
