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.
