Hard Work Montage: Difference between revisions

* ''[[CSI]]'' does this to show the characters doing the hard work of forensic investigation at the lab. In the episode "I Like to Watch", they do some [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Hodges looks forward to a certain test, as he thinks it will be good material for the documentary crew currently in the lab. Nick points out that the test takes six hours, to which Hodges remarks that "When they cut it together, it'll only take thirty seconds." It takes thirty seconds.

* The doctors on ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' do this to signify they're coming up with the right diagnosis after getting it wrong for forty minutes.

** ...For which Bruce Geller took some inspiration from the 1964 movie ''Topkapi''.

* The ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "Ariel" has one of these as the [[Five-Man Band|crew]] prepare for their heist for that episode.

** Which is especially notable, as it's probably the only example here where they really ''are'' doing all that hard work. Man, sometimes its got to ''suck'' to be the Build Team.

** It's just a high speed camera, playing at, a high speed. They've said on-screen several times that they ''could'' show all of the work, just like the other, less explosive experiments they do, but they would be boring.
