"So, what does it take to get a 22-minute episode of 'The Real World' air-ready?
As much patience as manpower, says Murray.
For one thing, before a single cast member sets foot in the house, 'The Real World' staff gives the home a makeover, transforming it into both a deluxe domicile and a full-blown production house that enables the crew to obtain broadcast-quality sound and video virtually anywhere on-site. Previous seasons of 'The Real World' have been set in London, New York, Boston, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami.
The crew shoots whenever the cast is awake, usually about 18 hours per day. And since they can't be everywhere at once, they make decisions about which cast member to follow. During shooting, the tapes are initially processed on-location, sent to California, where they're handed over to production staffers who time-code the tapes and look for compelling shots and story angles. The story department then takes the material and wades through it, figuring out what goes into each 22-minute episode to tell a complete story."
Donna Freydkin. 'Reality bites in MTV's Real World,' CNN.com (July 6, 1999).
"Don't get me wrong. I don't like renting, and the other intangibles like good schools and a safe, stable neighborhood make me glad I'm a homeowner. But the question of "how much home do you need" still needs to be answered. Certainly the mortgage company would be happy to lend me funds for a much more expensive domicile. And the monthly commitment that goes with it could put a kink in my current financial plans. Yet I think some people are tempted to buy more home than they "need" because they are fooled (little "f") into thinking it's a great investment."
