Specifically, that incredible dolly zoom where a broken Joe MacMillan stands at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The reason I ask is the background with the bridge looks too perfect, but on the other hand, they had definitely done at least one live action scene around that spot in a previous episode, which suggests some degree of location shooting in SF.



Best Answer

It's certainly possible that the final shot was green screen or a composite but the run-up is a moving shot showing him walking towards the bridge.

The evidence suggests to me that this was, in fact, shot on location even if the final shot was, indeed, a composite.
