[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 152079, member: 27"] Bravery, hell! Like I said, it was my introduction to the ample charms of Ingo Rademacher. But yes, it was quite...dire. I'd pin it on that, mostly. We were raised on the soap production process where there is a three-sided set with excessive lighting and scenes filmed by three or four cameras simultaneously...very little exterior work, but attempts at creating "the outside" in studio. But most of all, we're spoiled by having soap actors look impeccable, with nary a hair out of place and always dressed to the nines. British soaps have people look too 'real' and the sets are not lavishly detailed (unless the plot calls for it). I've heard people claim they didn't like the realism because they want the soaps to be visual fantasy as much as anything else. [I]Guiding Light[/I] attempted that style of production in its final years and the fans whined and complained for years before the show ended up cancelled. [/QUOTE]
