There was a follower of Islam; right next to the orthodox jew at the front of the line. "Mr. Rashid, a Moslem." I made sure we put them side by side.
The "fishy" song was composed by Christopher Franke specifically for that scene. I told him I wanted sort of a Narnish Gilbert and Sullivan, and that's what we got.
Re: the camera moves...I really have no idea what your friend is talking about. Virtually all of our sets are constructed for full 360 degree camera movement (and we do have a few cases of full 360 degree pans coming along). This is not, however, a "cutty" show...some shows, presuming that their audience has the attention span of your average gnat, lean toward fast-fast- fast- cutting and editing and swishing camera moves. We *hate* that. We're trying to set a mood, not turn the show into an MTV music video. (Miami Vice was a terrific example of this kind fo thing.)
