Miguel Sapochnik

I think

Miguel Sapochnik said that as well.

You need to stay focused on the characters and what internal conflicts they're going through within that battle.

Because if you just did a whole sequence of battle, battle, battle, and action, like you would wear your audience out after a while.

But the prep was because of the training that we did.

And I remember Miguel and people talking about how meticulous you've got to be in your prep.

yeah to meet schedules but

also but also it's um it's down to those years of doing all those shorts because i did i did four in two years um and and it was just a case of and also other stuff that i did and i first they did them and i and i you're doing lots of commercials yeah yeah yeah

It just really helped.

I decided on this one, and it's because I just remember

what Miguel once said to us when they were shooting the horses scene.

He said, you've got to be able to break everything down, and if you've done your prep properly, and you break it into little pieces, and your prep's done properly, when you get to the edit, it should all back up and make sense.

And she got so many really talented people involved as well.

I mean, you know, she got Miguel Sapochnik of, again, Game of Thrones fame to come and shoot the first episode for us, you know, because apparently, again, he was a big fan of the book, right? So, you know.

And

that must, yeah, I guess it was such a hit that a lot of the people who were then getting involved in the project have probably read it.
