The BBC's 'The Office' dvd's include behind the scenes features that might reveal some of the technical sides of the production. I know that on one of the disks there is a long scene going throught the editing of the program whilst the head editor is been tied up at the back of the studio- makes funny viewing.

Matthew --

Hmmm, that's not on either of the Series One discs I watched (which go back to the video rental store in mere minutes). Series Two comes out later this month -- with a supossed combo pack of Series One and Two as well, which I'll probably buy... Maybe it'll be on there (I assume the Series Two disc is already available in the UK?)

yep- series 2 is out in the uk too.. Got both for christmas. There is part in the outtakes or video diary that shows camera set up for a second or two.

Any of you in the area are invited to a special, free screening of the subject of this thread, The Office.

Two episodes will be shown *free of charge* Tuesday, April 20, at the Steney-Stovall Theatre, across from the Varsity on Milledge. A catered reception starts at 7:00 pm and the screening starts at 7:30 pm.

I think the Series 2 DVD should be out the same day, so I'll be hitting the video store right after the screening...

Firstly thanks rob for the redirection.

Secondly: The effect of the office post post (lol) is to damn good to just leave it here. I mean the motion is fantastic it moves like film, the color is obvsiouly less but you cant really add rez.

I am determined to find out what the exact process is, i feel it is such a valuable tool i should know atleast how it is done.
