Yahoo UK

00:00 You had a baby in every scene and at different stages as well.

00:03 So I wondered, how did you find both of you working around that,

00:07 having a child in almost every scene and working with that?

00:11 It was beautiful.

00:12 - Yeah, it was. - Tricky?

00:13 Yeah, it was tricky.

00:15 I mean, they brought a lot.

00:16 And, you know, and also I think there's an atmosphere.

00:20 The positives is that you bring a baby on, everyone goes quiet

00:23 and there's this sort of sense, there's a purpose to everything.

00:28 And, you know, everybody knows what they're doing,

00:30 like, you know, sound to camera, everybody's there with the baby.

00:34 And then the baby does exactly what it wants.

00:37 And that can be amazing.

00:39 And also it can be really, really annoying as well.

00:41 You have to learn to surrender to it.

00:44 You know, like you really do have to learn to to to go with it,

00:49 especially when you're shooting on film and you're like,

00:51 the film is so valuable that you're like, OK, the baby's supposed to be laughing,

00:55 but now he's screaming.

00:56 Let's just, like, just go with it.

01:00 There were some takes when the baby's crying and you guys are responding

01:03 that I would have loved to use.

01:04 It just didn't make sense in the story.

01:06 But like there's something that's so organic that came out of it

01:09 and involved improvisation as a because of the baby.

01:12 That's so beautiful and alive.

01:13 We use some of it, obviously.

01:15 You can sort of feel it in the film, I think.

01:17 And I think that's what we're trying to do.
