How Did Adam Rifkin Made 'Look' TV Series?

I was never a big fan of reality, documentries, and any material that tried to show me real things on my screen. I love the stuff that looks too good for any reality. Not fake, not ice-cream shots, but still - crafted.

I never saw the Adam Rifkin's movie Look, that was kind of successful when it was released in 2007. But now the same Rifkin brings the same Look - to the TV screen. A TV series that's based on material taken from security cameras. Edited, of course, I thought, but could it be all original content and still be legal to air? Or did they use actors that played what they saw on the cameras?

I got pretty curios about this Look the TV series, and then I found this great clip that explained me some things about the making of of Look.



So is it real or not? And what will be the hook? I mean, Rifkin talked about lines of plot that are splitted into pieces during the season, but isn't it what any TV series do anyway?
