Special effects then take lLM's program,

goes through the stuff, and that's how it moves.

- Generates the motion for that.

- Yes.

- Correct. Yes.

- Oh.

That looks great.

Okay, so, aggressive bark at first.

Action.

Yeah. And, then, just looking at her.

That's terrific.

And, then, little head cock?

That's good. Okay, now,

let's regard her. Let's look at her.

So, pull the face back a bit,

and a little head cock.

Yes. Oh, you're breaking my heart.

Great. And cut it.

Beautiful. Very nice, guys. Good.

- Oh, I like that one.

- It's pretty good.

It's gonna be a fun week.

- He rolls with you guys.

- Oh, he rolls behind us.

Yeah, so they put it.

It's like a disguise.

So, he's got that thing on top of him

that's wobbling.

All right, let's get very close here, team.

Very close.

After VI, I has come out,

I'm realizing how much of the work,

in addition to the creative work,

is just the mind game of

keeping your head in the right spot,

regarding your relation

to this culturaljuggernaut.

And then, the action is, essentially

while she shoots the four other troops,

you're already starting to come at her with the mace.

With any creative decision you make

in this process,

you gotta shut out the doubts.

And having the actors have the room...

But also the pressures that

they need to do their best work.

And the best I can do is try and make

the whole thing as intimate as possible,

in terms of the process.

Traitor, coward, traitor, traitor, traitor.

All since... We've met you.

She's the traitor.

JOHN And Rian, not once did he show

any type of anger,

or not once was he rude

or let the pressure of all of this get to him.

And it's pressure. It's pressure.

- No!

- I love you! I love you!

Okay. It's okay.

Action!

Cut!

Thank you. Brilliant job.

I'm really excited.

I'm really, really excited.

I think it's gonna be great.

Well, you've seen it come together.

So, you've seen it put together.

I'm breathing a sigh of relief every

night, and I'm like, "Oh, that works."

It's been a pleasant...

It's been a nice process.

It's been good.

But, yeah, I'm ready to get

all this stuff together.

Cautiously optimistic.

All right, so let's everybody stand by.

Let's go, guys.

Anybody that does not need to be

in here, let's clear.

Okay, guys, stand by. Set.

- All right.

- Yep.

- Let's roll, please.

- We're rolling.

Everybody set!

And three, two, one... Fire!

All right, cut there.

Firemen in.

Everyone all right?

Everybody okay?

Everybody good? Please tell me.

All good?

- Shoot next time.

- Shoot next time.

My plan for the casino is...

I have to sit down with Steve later

and just mark on a map

where all our shots are.

But my hope is I can go there, there,

kind of, end the day, up the stairs,

so I can let 60% of them go, and...

This is like you said,

the most complicated sequence

in Star Wars history.

So, let's make sure we cover the hell out of it.

You just have to put it on when you work.

Just for takes, and then

we can take it off between.

- It just looks so good on you.

- It looks so good on you, yeah.

Dave, do you like this?

Not those ones, because on this one...

Okay. Do that.

No, the makeup is too white

and the eyes are too dark.

Back to Makeup if you've been told.

Back to Hair if you've been told.

From Steve and onwards.

I'll either do less lips or dark lips.

A little bit red. And red,

we're not really going near too much.

So it's all browns and stuff,

but I think if we did really dark lips,

but a lot less, so it's not quite so defined.

Looks great.

Back a little bit. Great.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

All right. So, guys.

Health and safety meeting.

Morning, everyone.

Lots of people on this set.

Lots of creature effects

and people with restricted vision.

So, again, let's just be courteous for them

when you see them moving around the set.

Cut it. Yeah.

Overall, in terms of the attitude of all the creatures,

with everybody across the board,

and as snooty as they can possibly make

each version of their character.

That's not a person.

We have hundreds of extras, dressed to the nines,

a ton of incredible creatures,

and they're all converging

in this huge, amazing set.

So, this is just like a multi-department extravaganza.

And we get to shoot it all today.

It's gonna be fun.

If I don't mess it up.

All right, here we go. Ready?

Keep the energy up, miming only, guys, and...

Background! Action!

This place is great!

It's great!

Come on.

I wish Rey could see this.

And cut there, guys.

All right. Straightaway.

Very, very nice.

Hand a little higher with the grab.

Really up here. Yeah.

Yeah. All right.

All right, here we go.

What's that?

Oh, no.

Don't be silly.

Oh, thank you.

I'm admiring you.

What are you talking about?

In fact, let me walk you back

to where you're supposed to go.

All right. U h...

Right, is anybody not ready?

It's an interesting thing, because, you know,

you have your own view

of how your character should be.

And how he should be utilized.

My character always represented hope and optimism.

And now, here I am, very pessimistic and disillusioned,

and, sort of, demoralized.

No matter how this comes out,

if I'm wonderful, it's because of him.

And if it's terrible, it's also his fault.

Cut it.

All right. Once on that.

Camera reloads.

- Hello!

- How are you, my friend?

Good to see you, man. How's it going?

- Welcome to Star Wars.

- Thank you very much.

- How's it going?

- Good. How's it going?

It's good.

I'm having the time of my life.

I can't wait to get into Snoke's stuff.

It's going to be fun.

I think we're gonna have a couple of really great scenes,

including a big, climactic throne room scene.

I don't want you to be blind-sided.

It climaxes with the spectacular death of Snoke.

Sorry! I'm sorry!

But it's glorious! I just wanted to...

No, no. Thank you!

So, it's like... Get to the page...

Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

Get into the zone, yeah?

Don't worry about anybody else.

Just yourself, yeah?

Batter them! Batter them!

Exciting.

You will give me Skywalker.

Then I will kill you.

And cut it.

Zoom!

Scream!

And cut.

Yeah. And even closer if you can.

Let's see that full speed.

See what that looks like.

Pay attention, guys.

With aggression, yeah.

And action.

Because Adam and Daisy are so dialed in with the training

that they've both been doing for this

over the past six months,

we've been able to just shoot it with them

in the style of, like, the fight scenes I grew up loving.

Like, Jackie Chan scenes, where you can

literally just put a wide-angle lens,

find a great angle on it and just follow the action.

It's actually them doing it.

I'm gonna push through into your fight.

That's how we're gonna shoot it.

So, you're gonna be going...

But do we do the first bit and then stop?

And then do the second bit, or do them both through?

No, it's all going to go on.
