This was something even veteran actors who had worked with him multiple times couldn't achieve on every take.
It was all thanks to Melody Monroe's hard work. She must have dedicated a great deal of effort to the role of Solara to understand the character so profoundly.
"Javian, while Solara is doing all this, you need to be dazed and helpless the entire time. Only when Solara goes to pull the White Banner should you show a hint of emotion. But that emotion must be one of resolve. You believe in your sister; you'll support whatever she does unconditionally. So, when you see your sister struggling to pull down the White Banner, that's when you step forward and help her pull it down." Director Walsh's notes for Jenson Yates were quite detailed.
This wasn't simple physical acting; it all had to be conveyed through emotion, placing exceptionally high demands on the actors.
"Ready. Action!"
