I can honestly say that I've never noticed those boom mikes or that stagehand. Some people may ask, "Are you BLIND?!"
But I don't really pay attention to the periphery of the scenes because my attention is always squarely on the characters. (Though there's also the fact that today's TVs/monitors show more of the frames than we ever used to see on cathode ray tube TVs/monitors. So maybe if I rewatched the eps, I
would notice.
)
But getting back on topic - sort of:
I did notice a potential conflict. Eva Green is shooting Arbitrage in the U.S. in mid April according to myentertainmentworld website.
According to the following article, Green has dropped out of
Arbitrage because of her commitment to the Depp/DS film:
Brit Marling Joins "Arbitrage," "Breaking""Marling will likely takeover the role of an art dealer and mistress to the magnate which was vacated by actress Eva Green due to her "Dark Shadows" commitments."
