00:00 ♪♪

00:03 Hello, darling.

00:04 Heard so much about you.

00:07 ♪♪

00:08 He's gonna be a totally unpredictable show.

00:11 I don't think any of us have ever done

00:13 anything like this before.

00:14 ♪♪

00:17 Not gonna lie, this was a pretty crazy shoot.

00:20 ♪♪

00:22 When the show starts, all sorts of strange things

00:24 have been happening.

00:25 Scientific experiments have been failing.

00:27 Scientists have been killing themselves.

00:30 And some superior power out there

00:32 designs this technology that's far beyond ours

00:35 and sends it to scientists around the world.

00:38 When you put on the helmet,

00:39 you enter this virtual environment.

00:40 ♪♪

00:44 The scene that I'm shooting today

00:46 is Jack Rooney's first experience of the game.

00:51 The VR headset is an experience

00:53 no one on Earth has ever had before.

00:55 You can feel it, you can smell it, you can touch it,

00:57 you can taste it.

00:58 All of it, though, has to feel real.

01:00 People get to do extraordinary stuff in this game.

01:02 It has that big scope of history

01:04 where literally anything can happen.

01:06 There's the Shen Dynasty.

01:07 Tudor England.

01:08 16th century Italy.

01:10 Kublai Khan's Mongol pleasure dome, Xanadu.

01:13 It's just great fun as an actor.

01:14 It's wonderful.

01:15 You don't know who the hell you're gonna meet

01:16 when you go in.

01:17 I am Sir Thomas...

01:19 [Gasps]

01:20 It felt brilliant to punch Thomas More in the face.

01:22 I should do more of it.

01:23 Gotta worry that I'm getting a bit of a taste for it.

01:26 Do you understand how far beyond

01:28 the current state of the art this is?

01:29 For me as a costume designer,

01:31 I wanted to say something about

01:32 the advanced level of technology.

01:34 One of the big challenges

01:36 was grounding all of the disparate visual strands

01:40 of the show.

01:41 I mean, there's a historical element to the show

01:44 and it needs to feel like you're watching history,

01:46 not like you're watching television.

01:48 So we went crazy with the fabrics.

01:50 We had things hand-woven.

01:52 We had embroideries hand-done.

01:55 Custom skins.

01:57 I like it.

01:58 The sun is a very important element in this game.

02:02 So we created this massive LED stage.

02:07 There is hundreds, if not maybe even close to a thousand,

02:10 screens that are creating this environment.

02:13 We have complete control over

02:15 how the sun rises and falls,

02:17 how the light interacts with the people that are in the game.

02:20 In episode three...

02:22 Can I say this?

02:23 Can I say it?

02:24 [laughs]

02:25 In episode three, we get to do an anti-gravity sequence.

02:29 Thirty million Mongol soldiers getting sucked up into the sky.

02:33 You've never seen that before.

02:34 That was our biggest wire sequence on the show.

02:37 Five actors flying.

02:38 [screams]

02:39 We spent like two days on wires flying around.

02:41 It's a creation of a virtual environment,

02:43 something that looks computer simulated,

02:46 but also very organic.

02:48 How do you technically translate that before VFX?

02:52 So we do a pre-vis.

02:53 Wow.

02:54 We look at the performance, look at the camera angle.

02:58 The actors can watch that

02:59 so they know what's going to be happening around them.

03:01 Some superior intelligence is creating something

03:04 that is beyond anything we've experienced before.

03:07 There's the mystery of what this game is actually doing.

03:10 Game or not game, this is what we don't know.

03:12 We don't have this technology.

03:14 Promise me you'll stop playing.

03:16 I think it's going to be visually a feast.

03:20 It's huge.

03:21 It's just literally huge in scope and scale.

03:24 Incredible visuals, incredible world building.

03:27 Feels like nothing else we've ever seen before.

03:30 [screeching]

03:33 [music]

03:36 [thud]

03:38 [music fades]

03:41 [no audio]

03:44 [no audio]
