In an interview with The Hollywood reporter, SeparationEmmy-nominated editors explain how they helped characters from the Apple TV + drama transition between their “innie” and “outtie” persona.
In “Severance”, Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a layoff procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their “innie” and “outie” working lives. personal. This daring experiment of “work-life balance” is called into question when Mark finds himself at the center of an unfolding mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work … and of himself.
Carolyn Giardina for The Hollywood Reporter:
“At the beginning of the series there is a lot more separation between the transitions from the innie world to the outtie world, so that the viewer can orient themselves with this transition,” explains editor Geoffrey Richman, who has been nominated twice for the episodes. ” In Perpetuity, “he shared with editor Erica Freed Marker and” The We We Are “. At the start of the season, “We spend a lot of time focusing on all the mechanics of [the innie] go to the elevator, what happens in the elevator, the change that happens, follow the outtie home and see what a different world is like, focusing on the separation between innie and outtie. As we went further and further in the episodes, we began to play more with the fusion of these two together. “
Adding that “the cast was really great”, [Marker] notes that the actors, working with director Ben Stiller, varied their interpretations over several takes. “The hard part was, in which direction do we want to take this? And to what extent do we want to calibrate it towards real evil, and how far do we want to back out? ”
MacDailyNews takes: Severance is Apple TV +’s truly outstanding fourth or fifth TV series (depending on how you feel The morning show, which we include in our list). Not bad for a streaming service that has yet to turn three years old.
(Great: Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, For All Mankind, Trying, Severance. Honorable mentions with tons of promises: Foundation, Invasion, Schmigadoon !, The coast of mosquitoes.)
