00:02 The Judgment Day sequence was one of those ones

00:04 that we talked about before, where you just think, oh, man,

00:07 I really want to see that on screen, see it done right.

00:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:12 I've read the episode countless times,

00:22 trying to fathom how am I going to visually pull this off.

00:27 I don't think we've ever seen something like this on TV.

00:30 There's so much going on.

00:32 It's a crazy frenzy.

00:34 So I think this should be epic television.

00:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:40 We found him.

00:42 Panamax oil tanker.

00:44 Could be 1,000 people living on there.

00:48 For something as epic as The Judgment Day,

00:50 it began with months of prep.

00:53 And it started with the science.

00:55 Oggy is a genius, and I employ her to use those skills

00:59 in a very questionable way.

01:01 What do you think is more important to the human race,

01:04 a canal, or defeating an enemy coming to our world

01:06 to take it for themselves?

01:09 When we were trying to design the nanofiber cutter

01:13 in Oggy's lab, something I realized quite quickly

01:16 was that if I was really doing this experiment,

01:18 I would want to be observing the property of these fibers.

01:21 So you would probably want to avoid moving the fibers.

01:23 You would want to keep the fibers static

01:25 and move the block through the fibers.

01:28 Why isn't it working?

01:29 It is.

01:34 And if we believe that what the diamond cutter can do

01:37 is possible, then the outcome of Judgment Day is believable.

01:40 You wanted to work.

01:45 Of course I wanted to work.

01:47 Even though you don't know how many people we're going to kill,

01:49 what do you think is happening?

01:52 I think we're at war.

01:55 Everyone in the show is grappling all the time

01:58 with the question of, in a wartime situation,

02:01 how far will you go?

02:05 One of the corridor sequences where everything gets destroyed,

02:09 everyone just expects that you're just

02:10 going to all do it in post.

02:12 But I wanted to keep quite a bit of it in camera as well.

02:16 For us creating that, it's very important

02:19 to make it very organic.

02:20 So we want to pull off something which looks hyper real,

02:24 but to a point of realism that is really quite

02:27 interesting and propelling.

02:30 The other epic moment is the wreckage.

02:34 And Keith, head of construction, genius,

02:37 came up with using this idea of neoprene.

02:40 And that was rigged onto a very simple rig,

02:42 but whereby those strips could be pushed and pulled

02:46 and angled up or down.

02:48 And it made these strips look like they had been mangled.

02:50 What's important for me was to make sure

02:58 that we fed the appetite for spectacle and scale,

03:02 but with characters that we care about.

03:04 You're telling us to kill people we don't know for reasons

03:06 that we don't know.

03:07 And you're just like, yeah, cool.

03:11 You have to focus on character and relationships

03:13 where it can be brought down to the human.

03:16 When you're dealing with a drama that

03:18 affects all of humanity, things may not be as black and white.

03:23 So we really see Auggie just trying to grab onto life

03:28 as hard as possible.

03:31 It creates an interesting moral dynamic for the viewer,

03:34 but the most violent, horrific thing that we do

03:37 is done by ostensibly the good guys.

03:41 I mean, it's terrifying.

03:42 It's utterly terrifying.

03:45 And that's the feeling I wanted to create,

03:48 that you've been literally blindsided with this massacre.
