Was Friends Filmed In Front Of A Live Studio Audience. This implementation allowed the show to benefit from the strengths of both stage plays (live audience) and film (camera angle options, point of view, etc.). The only times the audience wasn't present were for cliffhangers and when rachel (jennifer aniston) is walking around the apartment supposedly naked although in pract.
This was made possible by the idea of desi arnaz to use multiple cameras. It was a long time ago, back before i became a big fan of the show, so i don't really remember everything, but i do remember we were filming until pretty late at night. Filming the episodes with a live audience was the creators way of seeing if the material worked and was funny.
