Tina Andrews Interview

A nice interview with writer, producer Tina Andrews.  

She talks about The Brady Bunch around 21:37.

She mentions that she was over 18 and could get cast for looking younger than she was.  And, indeed, she is around 5 years older than Maureen McCormick.

Television Set Design Using Raised Platforms

Sets are often given raised platforms as seen below. Usually impractical and unrealistic, but it always adds a nice look and depth to the composition when photographing a set.

The oddest, raised room yet.  You could fall off the living room and hurt yourself.

The Brady Bunch certainly made use of platforms on their set. The foyer, and the raised level of their back wall, which held the staircase and Mike's office

The Brady Bunch Set

Looks like an unusually wide shot.  It's interesting to see the exposed top of a set piece and light. I imagine the light was filling in the space behind them and help remove shadows.
