Clive Owen on The Knick Finale, Cocaine, and the Plan for Season 2
…we shot the thing in 73 days. It was like the length of a really big movie. Apart from the amount we were getting through each day, which was an awful lot. We moved so quickly. I think our record was 13 pages of dialogue in one day.
A record of thirteen pages in a day is amazing in its own right, but a marathon of 73 days resulting in ~600 minutes of screen time is bonkers. To put it in perspective, the extended edition of the lord of the rings is about 650 minutes.
The feet are where you’re judged
Being able to do the feet extremely well with all the nuances and shifts – that separates the boys from the men. There are foley artists who’ve been doing this for 15-20 years who still can’t do it. It’s not something you can learn. It’s just a feel thing. The feet are where you’re judged as a Foley artist.

So much talent in here.
