A Subsidiary of which is to see people finish talking. Nor- mally in film, you see the back of the other person's head start to move as they begin to react before they speak. So you have two choices: cut around to the other person and get rid of the movement on the outgoing side or to pre-lap that part and come in and then cut to the on-camera performance later. Because Matt likes to see them finish talking, it star ted almost out of the desperation of, 'Wait a second, what if I just put a split screen in there and keep the guy's head steady?' It doesn't always work perfectly, but sometimes it's invisible and it's easy to line up." POST: What show is more challenging to work on? NELSON: "They both have their own in- dividual challenges, but I think in many ways I find Mad Men more challenging. Because of its nature it feels more fragile. There is less, generally speaking, of an intense situation. The rhythms are more fragile. We go back through the shows trying to find the perfect rhythm that works… a little bit slower, a lit- tle bit faster, but not too fast. It's not as easy to find as in other shows. Plus you are trying to present it in a rather elegant, not too cutty kind of format, yet you are pretty much saddled with all the kinds of problems you would encounter in any other show. So it provides different kinds of challenges." POST: What is your biggest challenge on Lost? NELSON: "The show is so varied. With Mad Men you have the same people in simi- lar kinds of character dynamics in mostly the same locations. But with Lost, because of the flashbacks, some of the episodes are like doing a one-off TV movie or feature. They are unlike anything that's gone before. You have car chases, fist fights, mythical stuff, smoke monsters. From episode to episode you can see all these other kinds of things, which keeps it interesting. "The challenges are that there is often something new. I'll give you an example: I have been doing this a long time and I star ted on the show in the third season. My first show had 15 pages written in Korean. There are argu- ments and they overlap each other. I think it's pretty bold of the show that they are willing to take these characters and let them talk in whatever their native language is and subtitle them. It actually seems to enhance the shows rather than being a detriment." www.postmagazine.com January 2009 • Post 13 Lost is edited is to enhance mystery and not to give away any answers, says Nelson.
