Along the way she introduces groups of extras, particularly a tattooed-group.

			Reiner notes that the V-Club is particularly fun to shoot given that anything can (and does) happen in that world, and is absent of consequences that would transpire in the real world.

A series of video blogs pertaining to ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' were produced during production of both the [[Pilot (Caprica)|pilot film]] and the series itself. They were formerly available online during the time of the series' airing, but are available on the home video releases.

A majority of these are offered in low-resolution, so the video content will show that.

[[File:Video Blog - The Director's Process - Cross and Malcomson.png|thumb|A scene between [[Roger R. Cross]] and [[Paula Malcomson]] filmed with multiple cameras, outputted into video feeds in the Director's Village as overseen by director [[Jeffrey Reiner]].]]

Director [[Jeffrey Reiner]] discusses the look of the show, and how the filming method shows a world that has a strong foundation that will, in time, erode into anarchy. Therefore, the cinema verite approach was not used in shooting of the pilot.

[[Remi Aubuchon]] notes that Reiner shot the [[Pilot (Caprica)|Pilot]] with three to four cameras, shooting both sides of a scene. He also notes that Reiner's approach to directing actors is minimalist, allowing for "unorthodox" performances and style. Reiner elucidates on this, believing that it allows for capturing richer performances by reducing the number of times one side is shot, then resetting everything up again and shooting the other side of a discussion. This allows the actors to always "be on" in portraying their characters, as they don't know what camera angle will end up being captured in the final edit.

This method also results in the doubling of footage, as Aubichon notes that he watches 6 hours of dailies per day versus the typical 2 to 3 on television shows that he's worked on.

This featurette shows [[Roger R. Cross]] in the role of [[Tomas Vergis]], filming scenes with [[Paula Malcomson]] ([[Amanda Graystone]]) in her office at the hospital. Cross' scenes were excised in the final cut from the pilot, and the role was recast with [[John Pyper-Ferguson]].

Additionally, [[Paula Malcomson]] is seen interacting with Reiner and his assistant, getting a performer (playing the doctor, nicknamed "Doctor Phillips") a line so he can get a credit with the acting union.
