| Yes, this is the first time I've seen a production filmed as such, "separately but sharing the same virtually rendered set." To me, it was obvious they weren't in the same room and I was conscious of the actors reactions to each other which was such a distraction to me. It was odd, kind of reminded of the Nina Hagen videos from the '80's where she'd play several characters within the one video. I was so drawn into the story but I couldn't get past the visuals. That being said, all the best of luck to the Irish Rep and all theater companies amidst this unprecedented chapter of our history. | |

| I really liked The Weir, but the way it was shot made me feel like I was watching a film, not theater. There were closeups of people's hands, for example. Nothing wrong with being a film, and as I said, I enjoyed it, but for me personally, the forcing by the director of a specific point of view by shot choice made me feel like it was not really a substitute for live theater for me. | |

| I watched sf ballet prog 3 last night. Two were taped previous performances and one was new production. The music and costumes were good, but the filming was lots of closeups from chest up when the women were on pointe. Really badly filmed for dance and I couldn’t enjoy it. | |

| Yes, I feel when you "film theater" then it's the cameraman's responsibility to try to recreate the theatrical experience as best as possible. When you make a "movie", then it's purely the director's vision. Being a former dancer I share your frustration when viewing as such when camera angles/edited ruin the experience. | |
