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. |

This method also appears often on House, and has been lampshaded on at least two occasions, one in which Wilson points out they ended up back where they started, and another where House explains to a camera crew filming his team trying to diagnose the patient of the week that their walking around creates the illusion of the plot moving forward. | |

Grey's Anatomy featured the same lampshading as The West Wing, with the protagonists ushering Alex the long way around to avoid meeting the girl he's crushing on, ending up with Meredith wondering: "Where was I going?" Might also be subtle foreshadowing because Meredith is at risk of developing Alzheimer's syndrome. | |

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. | |

Happens in an episode of Seinfeld, when George is walking and talking with Wilhelm, his boss at Yankee Stadium. Wilhelm is in the middle of giving George an important assignment when he abruptly steps aside into the restroom. George politely waits outside for him, only to eventually realize that Wilhelm just kept on talking while using the restroom. George spends the rest of the episode trying to figure out what his assignment is. | |

Spoofed in A Touch of Cloth III where a sequence of walking-and-talking is constantly lampshaded by the characters as only being to make this fairly boring Exposition scene look more exciting and they aren't actually going anywhere. Also, as they walk through the police station, it actually loops. In a later scene, posters on the walls even display images fitting what they're talking about as they go past them. | |

Used a few times in Final Fantasy VI when the heroes are shown walking from one place to another as part of a cutscene rather than under player control. Locke and Edgar tell Terra about La Résistance while on chocoboback, and several characters have brief conversations with each other while getting into position for the battle at Narshe. | |

30 Rock has also done the walk-and-talk-that-ends-up-back-where-they-started gag. May or may not have been a Take That! to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 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. |

Game of Thrones. Lampshaded by Olenna Tyrell: "If I have to take one more leisurely stroll through these gardens, I'll fling myself from the cliffs."

Doctor Who: In "Spearhead from Space", a strike at the BBC led to locations and film cameras replacing the smaller studio sets with less mobile (at the time) video cameras, resulting in quite a number of Walk and Talk shots that were otherwise unusual for this era. "Rose": The Doctor and Rose have a long exposition-filled walk from Rose's apartment building to near where he parked the TARDIS. |

Parodied in Family Guy, when the Griffins watch Aaron Sorkin's new show, The Kitchen, where the characters walk in their kitchen and have a fast-paced dialogue about buying milk. Also parodied on the DVD version of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story with a cutaway showing Chris guest-starring on The West Wing, with him doing this with the show's stars. Afterward, the scene then zooms out to reveal that Chris is inside a mouse maze, and he then finds the cheese. |

An unconvincing version in the film adaptation of A Sound of Thunder, thanks to the view suddenly switching to the actors walking against a dramatic CGI background of the future city once they've finished talking, with the actors walking at a completely different speed now they don't have to worry about running over the camera crew. | |

In Revenge of the Sith when Anakin is complaining to Obi-Wan about not being promoted to Jedi Master. Interestingly enough, referenced and parodied in Auralnauts abridged take on Episode 3. |

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. |
