The photo of the burnt paper shows the printing as being a perfect overlay while the paper its suposed to be on is crumpled up

When the security guard is talking to the teacher in the classroom you can see a microphone at the top of the door. doh.gif

Does anyone have a picture of this? I'd like to see it because I watched this episode today and didn't see a thing!

It drops into frame for a few seconds and then moves up out of shot again.

Must be heavy such a boom mic. It happens a lot in a lot of shows/movies. But of course you need to pay attention to it. biggrin.gif

I guess it's a fine line between getting the mic as close to the actors as possible but staying out of shot.

In that same scene when Fraily enters the classroom he says to Mac it's almost midnight. Than when Mac and Fraily walks out of the classroom, Tony comes running with Blake after him. Tony warns them that something is about to happen on the construction site. When Mac and Tony are going to recover the burnt piece of paper, Mac gets stuck in the wooden board and Tony uses his wallet to lure Skip out. Tony says he lost his wallets with Skip replying: 3:00 o' clock at night?

Before Mac and Tony left it was almost midnight and when they arrive at the construction it's three o' clock in the morning? Must be heavy traffic at night or Mac took the scenic route. Also when they arrive back in the school, the clock cleary shows it's like 3:55 a.m. I can understand it was a 45 minute or so drive but that doesn't explain that there's an almost three hour gap between midnight when they first left for the construction site and the arrival, three hours later?

Also when Mac crawls underneath the rubble to get Milani's father, you can see his bare back, like his shirt crawled up underneath his jacket and when they both come out, Mac's shirt is tucked in nicely in his jeans.

Sometimes in those movies and TV series its hard to think those exact times when they writing screenpalys. They kind of easily just jump from time to time. They maybe splitted that six hours from 12:00 in midnight and when getting burned paper durin 3:00 and then the last hour developing the film before going to back to consruction site after 7:00.

It doesn't explain the big time gap. Almost midnight first and than suddenly three hours later they're on the construction site. What have they done for three hours? They come back around four so it was just an hour drive out and back and then they had to develop the piece of paper again using the dark room. Which leads back to indeed maybe an hour or so. Unless developing the paper is something different or takes longer than photos.

It probably just didn't fit in the timeframe because they needed the idea of Mac and Tony spending all night in school.

Just came to wonder, why doesn't the piece of simply paper burn up and pulverizes to ashes? It just burned but stayed pretty much intact to get it reconstructed. Bad paper, bad flame, what?
