Don’t ever tell me that Donna wasn’t an amazing character because she pretty much ended a filibuster while a bunch of Ivy League graduates were scratching there heads wondering what to do.

#*flings confetti* #LET’S TALK ABOUT DONNA MOSS #Donna Moss who’s smart and observant and is quietly filing away everything you say about senate rules for future reference #Donna Moss who is compassionate enough to remember the personal over the political #and consider that there’s a reason besides obstinacy for someone to make noise about something #if you don’t love her I do not fucking trust you

One Second of Every Episode of the West Wing

Whenever I think of any of the iconic moments from The West Wing, it’s always tangibly connected to Thomas Del Ruth’s gorgeous, shadowy cinematography. As with any compilation I’ve made, it started with befuddlement from a YouTube search that ‘One Second from Every Episode of the West Wing’ didn’t yield results. During the making of this video, it became clear why: 155 episodes of a single television series is A LOT of content to trawl!

I opted to take a different tack than most ‘One Second of Every of BLANK show’ videos, which is dictated by out of context noises and dialogue, instead choosing to go in the direction of Andy Kelly’s Twin Peaks montage from 2018 where he set scenes from the series to an atmospheric Angelo Badalamenti score. Simple yet elegant. And perfectly appropriate for this beautiful show, too.

If you don’t see your favorite shot in there, please know I made every effort to include all the iconic dramatic and comedic scenes. When I assembled this video, it originated with a shot list with four or five alternates from any given episode. There were some painful cuts to reach the final shot compilation that I made. A big thank you is due for the women who run ‘thefinestmuffinsandbagels’ Tumblr site, whose page I constantly used as a reference throughout this project.

Your site was invaluable in sourcing which clip belonged to which episode and provided inspiration when I was stumped otherwise. Without you, I would have been a lonely, stir crazy man scouring my Complete Series Box Set looking for clips. Thank to Hrishi Hirway for keeping the spirit of the West Wing alive!
