Isn’t it weird and disconcerting having cameras pointed at you all the time? That’s always in the back of my mind whenever I’m watching Survivor, especially since we occasionally get behind the scenes shots from the show where you can actually see a cameraman. Well, as part of the beloved reality show’s Emmy campaign, longtime cinematographer Scott Duncan and legend of the game Aubry Bracco decided to tackle my biggest question head on.
The two recently sat for an interview with Gold Derby to promote the show since it was nominated for Outstanding Reality Competition Program thanks in part to its recent landmark Survivor 50 season. During the chat, Aubry admitted that for the first couple of days, you really feel the cameras as a contestant. You look for them and notice them everywhere, but as time goes on, they fade into the background “like that Homer Simpson meme.”
