and then Des Whelan, our camera operator
and I would go over at the end of the day
:56:07
and with a little video camera,
shoot what they had rehearsed
:56:12
and get some sense of which shots
we would need when we actually filmed.
:56:17
We were restricted - that shot, for instance,
:56:19
we were restricted how often
we could look out over the ocean
:56:23
because this was shot on a sound stage.
:56:26
And each time we added an element -
in this case the ocean -
:56:31
it cost x amount of dollars
:56:33
because it's a blue screen shot
that then needed to be combed together
:56:38
with computer generated ocean
and set extensions.
:56:42
So we shot as much as we could
into the practical set,
:56:45
the kitchen was practical,
the kitchen table was practical,
:56:50
that arched ramp, obviously, was practical,
:56:52
and the first swimming pool you see was practical.
:56:56
So in staging this we tried to stay on the set
as much as possible.

Cook selling the idea that The Hood
has incredible power over him.
:57:35
What's The Hood doing there? Another great add -
"put me down, this outfit is couture!"
:57:44
Now here's a sequence
that took some serious work.
:57:48
There's a combination of
slow-motion photography,
