@Taverens_Pull he is credited on IMDB as a vampire, so it might have been very brief or very background (or both) maybe he was at the gym at the end 😂
@@anodosarcade7355 Just focus on Seth in this scene. He appears to be interacting with someone off camera, and looks to mouth something just after Willow says "What are you doing, Buffy?". Or, the actor who plays Xander might be whispering something to him, and he's reacting to that. Either way, I don't think Seth knew he was in the shot.
He's just acting like he's checking out the cheerleaders, winking at them in a flirty manier, smiling in awe, etc... it's just sitcom acting. @@terrycullen3302
I just love Aly...always have...her line "What are you doing, Buffy?" is so simple, yet she makes it so sweet. Been watching her on "Dancing with the Stars" recently....she's still so exuberant and cute...at 49! Sheesh, time flies...
I always like watching early Buffy episodes because they were shot at my high school, Torrance High. It's so weird seeing all these places that I walked through in real life multiple times, on the screen. Beverly Hills 90210 too.
The real problem is that the show was not protected for this aspect ratio, which was retroactively applied to the HD cut. There are a lot of problems like this in the HD remaster.
I've heard there were a lot of problems like that. Actors looking like garbage because they were only there to deliver lines offscreen, removing the filters so vampires are suddenly standing in the middle of the sun, CGI missing on the sides for the same reason.
In a climactic scene between Buffy and Willow, the side shows some cars driving by them, completely ignoring the crazy magic that Willow is supposedly channeling
The Seinfeld HD remaster had the same problems. It was shot only considering 4:3 framing, so there's quite a bit of stuff that wasn't intended to be seen.
Jeez, I've watched this show so many times, and just notice this, and came here wondering if anyone else did. Apparently death is pretty normal around there, smh
Yeah. All shows from pre widescreen days should be kept as 4:3. In the case of Star Trek, they didn't have a choice. They only built some of the sets or added effects to fit within 4:3. If they did release it in Widescreen, we'd see more than Seth goofing off. We'd see puppeteers, Phasers suddenly stopping and the warehouse they built their desert planet in.
@@112428 I know but it was minor enough that the execs could justify releasing it this way. For Start Trek its a non starter. Its every scene in every episode. We're not talking about the boom operator peeking into shot in the location. We're talking about the location not being there. I'm glad Star Trek were forced into releasing the episodes in the Original Aspect Ratio but there really was no other option.
They filmed season 4 on in widescreen, it's mostly fine. Literally a few scenes out of thousands shot being off is worth it for what you get. There is a new HD of buffy out there that is much better than the older one. Season one I completely agree, it should have been remastered in 4:3. It's way too zoomed in. Season 2 and 3 though, I'm fine with it in widescreen. It's too zoomed in, but not nearly as bad as season 1. And again, I think it's worth the trade off for HD.
lol yeah loved him as Joker, hopefully ME4 has some decent references to ME1-3 and the rest of the team recorded some lines or something. would be awesome to see.
@@ejmcguinness6875 The currently released HD versions of Buffy are a disgrace to the show, its actors and creators, television as a whole, and to all of humanity. There are not fully words yet invented to describe how appalling awful it is, how lazy the effort was, how many corners were cut, and how disastrous the release was. To find something nice to say about it is a rarity indeed.
thats why i said "never thought i would say this",, and added LMAO in the end? it was still fun to see Seth's funny face which we would otherwise not see @@brassmule
He doesn't mouth anything. He just looks amused by the cheerleaders in what appears to be a more ironic than sexual kind of way. This doesn't look like a case of not realizing he was in the shot 'cause if that were true he either wouldn't be sitting there at all or he wouldn't be doing anything. Seth's been acting since he was a little kid. I doubt he would do anything distracting or mentally check out while his castmates/friends are trying to work right next to him.
@TheHumanPurpleTape My point is that he's still in character. My additional point is that he's literally right next his fellow actors who he absolutely knows they're rolling on. No way he's going to be goofing off or doing anything distracting right next to actors & crew who are working to get a shot, much less one of them being the series lead who came up with him as a child actor. Even if he has zero reason to believe he's in the shot, with that kind of proximity to actors who are doing a scene, he'd either just sit still and quiet, or do what he's doing here and hold the space, giving subtle background actor style reactions. Or he'd be excused to step away 'til he's needed. Not saying there's never goofing around on set, especially among actors, but when you're literally just off camera while a scene is being shot with dialogue... like everyone on set wants to go home on time, dude.
He was a series regular for most of season 3 and part of season 4 until "Wild at Heart" (where soon afterwards he was replaced by James Masters (Spike) and took his spot in the opening credits). He started off as a recurring character for season 2 ("Inca Mummy Girl", "Halloween" episode, "What's My Line, Pts. 1-2" (where he dyed his hair black for the "Can't Hardly Wait" film), "Surprise"/"Innocence", "Phases" (which mainly focused on him), "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered" (Valentine's Day episode), "Becoming, Pts. 1-2" etc...)
He was a regular for all of season 3 and he's an endearing character with a heart of gold who helped Buffy, Willow and Xander save the world a number of times, especially in the final battle at the end of season 3 where he leads a group of students who attack the giant snake. He would have done anything to keep Willow safe. And in the prom episode, when Willow and Xander are panicking, he keeps his cool and show unshakable faith in Buffy and her abilities, to Willow who said "Maybe we should dance before we get besieged, bedeviled, or beheaded or something. You're not even a little nervous?", he replies "It's not gonna happen. You think Buffy is going to let us down"? This character is endearing and you can't help but like him. Buffy HD really can't do anything right. Fuck that shit.
"Seth Green never accounted for Buffy HD." - I was like huh? Your video title is confusing. I thought Oz is ignoring Buffy somehow and not that the director didn't account for him being in the frame.
@@davidjames579 he's making faces and smiling but in the shots where he's in the center of the screen, he doesn't have a smile on his face and he's sitting still
It doesn't really make sense in the context of the scene, though. Because he goes from listening to Willow, and being present in the conversation, to having some lighthearted interaction with someone off screen. His energy is completely different depending on the shot.
@@terrycullen3302 That is just the on site crew not accounting for continuity, he was in the camera shot still and was in character. I had to watch this like 4 times to see what he did wrong and it is literally nothing, this upload is a waste of time
The big problem is with idiots who think HD equals widescreen. It's the same group of idiots that made us put up with pan & scan in the days of the CRT TVs.
OK, I see the problems with the HD versions- often scenes are way too bright, but in other ways these remasters are really good- much better than the murky DVD boxsets I spent a fortune on back then.
in the original version, the ratio is 4:3 so you wouldn't see him in a lot of these shots. They managed to restore some parts that would have been cut off, but since he's aware he's "not in the shot" he's making faces. In many of the other scenes in the HD version they also have clear shots of camera and crew and a guy holding a boom mic on a sound stage during an action scene. Overall a pretty terrible remaster.
. His character is reacting to the lame cheerleader display. Seth Green is a seasoned professional. He wouldn't be pulling faces while his colleagues are acting.
The framing issues at least aren’t their fault. The show was shot in and never intended to be viewed in anything other than a 4:3 aspect ratio. The real problem in this specific case is people who don’t understand letter/pillarboxing.
C'mon, guys. He's winking at and throwing suggestive faces at the girls cheerleading... Acting his part. I don't see this as "outside" of the scene. It's part OF the scene. Not sure why everybody is losing their minds over this as, "off script". It isn't.
