Walk and Talk	comment	Having the characters walk from one end to the other of a large, contiguous set while talking to each other, while a SteadiCam operator walks backwards in front of them, allowing for a continuous, moving, Medium Two-Shot. Creators use this technique to make an exposition-laden scene more energetic or convey how busy the characters are. Can take a lot of takes to get right, but can give us some impressive examples of The Oner. However, characters never seem to watch where they're going. This shooting technique was popularized by Aaron Sorkin, who used it first on Sports Night and developed the technique further on The West Wing. Works deliberately evoking Sorkin's style will tend to have the characters using Mamet Speak as they go. It's also common in computer-animated works, where it appears to serve as a 3-D alternative to the Wraparound Background. Also known as a pedeconference (by analogy to teleconference), especially on Television Without Pity. May overlap with En Route Sum-Up. Not to be confused with Camera Chase, when a single person walks toward a retreating camera while narrating.

Walk and Talk / int_4e45b093	comment	The Big Bang Theory does this in spirit if not a continuous take. Typical sitcoms will have an outside hallway to the characters apartment or just a porch to someones house. The show puts Leonard and Sheldon as neighbors across the hall from Penny, also in the stairwell set on the fourth floor of a building that doesn't have a working elevator. Thus, to give room for conversation, it shows them walking the stairway, each floor except the lobby just marginally redressed from the main set.

That particular example was in "Jack the Editor". Liz and Pete take four consecutive left turns in the performance area, realize it, say they were following each other, then part ways, with Pete saying "Good walk and talk." They parodied it once, too. Openly parodied when Aaron Sorkin appeared as himself, advising Liz as she faced redundancy. The scene included an overt jab at Studio 60.

Walk and Talk / int_ff9ab17f	comment	From Star Trek: The Next Generation onward, a good third of any given episode is dedicated to exposition, which is commonly done while walking down seemingly endless corridors on whatever Ship/Station/Planet the story is set on. The original show didn't have it as much, but it was certainly present. What they did have, though (including the later series), was the "stand and talk" variation where the characters would board a turbolift that would conveniently take exactly as long to reach its destination as it took for the conversation to end. In certain episodes of the original series, it's laughable how long the turbolift can take to get from the bridge to a deck that is only 3-4 stories down in the ship. In early designs of the Enterprise-D, they were going to have a transporter room right off the bridge, but Roddenberry wanted the characters to have conversations en route to the transporter, so this was dropped.
