00:00My first reaction when I saw the set was, oh, holy shit.
00:04It's so beautiful. It should be a real restaurant.
00:10Welcome to Pallet. Do you have a reservation with us tonight?
00:12We had to create our own enormous set.
00:15Sort of thematically embraced the concept of the movie that Violet is trapped.
00:21Someone keeps sending me these drops.
00:22What do you think it is?
00:23If you look around, you'll notice there are a lot of gold bars
00:26to sort of create this idea of a gilded cage.
00:29It's in my notes that you had called and observed this table specifically.
00:33It's funny I don't remember doing that.
00:34The attention to detail is insane.
00:36All of these things on the ceiling are held by individual little clips
00:40and there's hundreds of them.
00:42The script was really suspenseful.
00:44You just had to create a world that could sustain this story
00:47and sustain the suspense.
00:49It's about claustrophobia and entrapment.
00:52The actors really felt like they were in a restaurant.
00:54Every detail is beautiful and the lighting is really cool
00:58because it's lit in the way that we shoot.
01:00It's all in practical lighting.
01:01You just really feel like you're in it.
01:02Are we ready to order?
01:04Yeah, I think so.
01:05In many ways, they were operating a restaurant.
01:08Everything had to happen at a very specific time
01:10in a very specific way.
01:12So table four was on appetizers.
01:14Table ten was on mains.
01:16That was always happening in the background
01:19and I was so impressed every day
01:20with how smooth all that stuff went.
01:25It's just a date.
01:26No!
01:27No!
01:28No!
01:28No!
