The Importance of Directorial Collaboration

The episode highlights the collaborative nature of filmmaking, particularly how directors like Ben Stiller and Aoife McCardle work together to create a cohesive visual style for the show. Stiller expresses admiration for McCardle's unique visual approach, which he discovered through her previous work, including music videos and an independent film. They shared references and ideas throughout the shooting process to ensure continuity, even as they had to switch directors during the filming of Season 1. This teamwork allowed them to maintain a unified aesthetic while adapting to the tight shooting schedule.
