House is often filmed using the "walk and talk" filming technique, popularized on television by series such as St. Elsewhere, ER, Sports Night, and The West Wing. The technique involves the use of tracking shots, showing two or more characters walking between locations while talking. Executive producer Katie Jacobs said that house m.d frequently uses the technique because "when you put a scene on the move, it's a… way of creating an urgency and an intensity". She noted the significance of "the fact that Hugh Laurie spans 6'2" and is taller than everybody else because it certainly makes those walk-and-talks pop". Nancy Franklin of The New Yorker described the show's "cool, 'Fantastic Voyage'–like special effects of patients' innards. I'll bet you didn't know that when your kidneys shut down they sound like bubble wrap popping." "Cameras and special effects travel not only down the throat" of one patient, another critic observed, "but up her nose and inside her brain and leg". Instead of relying primarily on computer-generated imagery, the interior body shots tend to involve miniature effects and motion control photography. Many of the house sets are dressed with a variety of unscripted props that allow Laurie to physically improvise, revealing aspects of his character and the story. ----------------- ZumbaZumba DVDZumba Fitness DVDHouse MD DVD 1-6Scrubs DVD 1-9Criminal Minds DVD 1-524 Hours DVD 1-8Sons of Anarchy DVD 1-2
