Quote - Is that one scene with fancy camera placement, or two scenes pasted together post? 

In moviemaking that is called "setting the wall wild". The wall is so wild that can be moved around to let the camera crew shoot people moving from one room to the other. There is a great example of that in "Requiem for a dream."

Yes, Doc is a man of details, this scene is another great example of his abilities.
