 Thomas Schlamme also favored the technique in "Sports Night" when working with Aaron Sorkin.Schlamme adapted it from the typical wide-angle shot of that time to a closer tight-angle shot, usually encompassing only the subjects' upper torsos.Subsequently, Schlamme used this technique heavily in Sorkin's NBC show "The West Wing", and it remains a favorite of Sorkin, who continued its use in his show, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip".
