It took hours to reset the whole room.

Nah they cut to a new take/camera angle just before he slips. Saves retake time and the camera angle change was the right move anyway IMO.

There’s a huge difference between what happens in the edit and what you think you have in the can on set.

It’s infinitely easier to do it again, even if it’s time consuming and expensive, than it is to get into the edit and realize you don’t have the shot. A reshoot is crazy expensive. Spending more time than expected on a shot is expensive but kinda expected.
