Interesting interview with Peter Deming.
The below portion answered one of my questions about script deviation:
”He’s very specific about what shots he wants and what shots he thinks he needs, and whether we need to cover something or not,” said Deming. “He’s very much in control of that process and sometimes we say, well we could get this piece of coverage or that, and a majority of the time he’s pretty decided he doesn’t need it. He also sticks very close to the script. I know that he and Mark [Frost] invested a lot of time in writing this and that it was very much a fine polish, which is very rare these days.”
Very interesting article about the process of working with Lynch. Lynch collaborates with Frost on the script, carefully selects everything in the sets, directs the lighting for effect and mood, rehearses the actors, plans the post processing of visual effects, and adds sound. This truly is his vision. So all the clues we see along the way, and the symbolism of the entire experience is planned and executed specifically to tell the story that Lynch & Frost wrote. I can see why it would take a while for this process to become a finished work.
Interesting interview with Peter Deming.
Thanks for the link!
Another piece of evidence that strongly suggests that Lynch films are - in large part - "paintings that move."

Yep. I think that he and Kubrick share the painterly composition, aesthetic and attention to detail (Barry Lyndon!). Kubrick, to me, is a little more symmetrical with how he composes scenes, shots and camera movement (if that makes sense). It might be the difference between photographer and painter.
The Deming interview is also more evidence that continuity errors are unlikely unless intentionally done so/left in (would they be errors then? ?).
It's interesting to know how polished and precise this was in light of a lot of the older interviews I've been watching, or interviews about older films. I was surprised by how open he has been about letting the story take shape as they filmed versus the precision he seems to have executed Season 3 with. But if you spend four years writing the story, that makes sense too. I'd still be curious to know if they had any "happy accidents" during this season.
I think that it's likely there were some "happy accidents," but not likely as many as in the past. I've been anxious to read the original script since the finale. Hopefully it becomes available eventually.
Another informative interview this time with producer Sabrina Sutherland:

Spoiler: the sweeping scene was a "happy accident." ? She also said that "the Return" qualifier was added by Showtime in order to differentiate season 3 from seasons 1 & 2.

I was thinking of Kubrick the whole time I was reading that interview! =:-O
As you suggest, I think there is something to the difference between photographer and painter - Kubrick and Lynch. Photographers capture a moment, painters create one.
While I agree with you on the composition and aesthetic similarities between Kubrick and Lynch, Kubrick stands head and shoulders above anyone else when it comes to attention to detail.
I'll bet if you look up meticulous in the dictionary you would see this:

Aye, I was thinking of Kubrick as well. Agree with the definition of meticulous and that's why I dropped Barry Lyndon!
And great point re: capture vs create.
I really hope that Deming receives an award for cinematography next year (if for nothing other than part 8, Kool - and he should be accompanied by many other award recipients in various categories from season 3, IMO).

Thanks for posting ☺
Kyle MchLachlan said in an interview that the flapping of his arms during the sex scene with Naomi Watts was one of those happy accidents. It wasn't planned, but just happened with the...bouncing and apparently Lynch thought it was hilarious and wanted to keep it in.
The real-life owner of the Palmer house playing Alice Tremond might've been a happy accident as well; at least how she describes being propositioned by Lynch (or he could've conjured the idea in between visits).
"2014 and early 2015. When they initially came here on New Year’s Day in 2015, they took a walk through the house. With those discussions then, we really had no idea what was going on. It was the second visit, which was a few months later, when I was standing in the kitchen and David walked up to me and said, Have you ever acted? I said no. Are you an actress at all, ma’am? I said not at all. Would you like to do a small part in the show? I said absolutely, that would be amazing. It’s really strange because when he did ask me, I told my husband when the crew left, and he said, Boy, that’s the only time I’ve seen you quiet! Because it really was quite the shock. Right away from that point, David said, I would just need you to be natural and act naturally. He put me at ease and made me feel like it would be a really great experience, and it was."

Aw, Mary Reber seems like such a nice person!
