Really love the constant motion in that "dollhouse" sequence. It's a shame that it was never used as I think it really works. The original opening is also really great and really grabs your attention.
It seems that any time I see something that was changed because of input from a network or studio, that it's very rare that it improves and the original take is almost always a lot better.
Gosh I would have loved to see this show develop. It was just pure fun. And I love the "dollhouse" opener! Interesting to see how many characters were recast. (I'd say for the better, but that's unfair since we saw the final cast in six episodes and these actors in just a few minutes.)
Wow, thanks Tim and Barry Woodward for posting those clips. The Dollhouse sequence and original opening was 100 time clearer and much more likable. It really introduced the people in a way you actually cared about and were interested in. Frankly, even knowing what the show was about the intro that was used was confusing for me. I'm sad. I wish we could honestly drop all the dang studios out of the creative process.
I said this over on FB, but it's almost glaring how flat and staged the original versions seem compared to the reshoots, which at the very least actually seem to have a sense of the physical space being full and real, which in turn has an effect upon the people in the room.
ETA that the originals seem kind of tossed off, like it was "get this shot and let's go home". The reshoots look like someone actually sat down and thought about things for awhile first.
Watching those just makes me realize how much I want "The Inside" on (official) DVD/Blu-Ray. The look of it is so dark and unique (which is what was missing in the original version) and it would be so awesome properly authored.
Does anyone know who directed the original pilot? (There were three pilots shot for The Inside, and here I believe we see clips from the second two. So by 'original' I actually mean the second of three.)

Those were 10x better than what originally aired (even without Nathan)
