If the characters of Eric and Tami don't get resurrected for a fourth season, Chandler says adjusting to life without FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS will not be easy. There's a freeness to the way the series is shot, one that star Kyle Chandler tells the Los Angeles Times is drastically different from any other project he's worked on.If the series looks just a bit too clean to be a documentary, the inspiration is there. Cameras never really stop moving, following the characters as if everything is shot with handhelds. Often, cameras are looking in at the action through a window, letting the viewer feel as if he or she is floating through the town.
"Going from this style of work to another style is like going from theater to feature," Chandler says. "When I’ve gone from this onto a set where something is very stylized, where the camera angles have to be perfect and the lighting has to be perfect and the actors have to be on their marks, it’s painstaking. This is a velvet revolution we have going on down here. There’s just an intense amount of freedom and an intense amount of responsibility. The parameters aren’t there, so you have to keep yourself in check."
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS uses a similar production model as GUIDING LIGHT.
