Darkness returns to Hawkins just in time for spring break, igniting fresh terror, disturbing memories - and an ominous new threat.

It wasn't just Sadie that brought this scene to life. She did an incredible job, but so did the set designers, the VFX artists, the make up artists, the writers, the director, the stunt double, and the woman who picked the song. So many people worked on this and they all deserve recognition. Just give them all the awards!!

[@madi7260]

[@jonathanguito1168]

Usually that's not exactly how that works as far as the Emmys go. They'll submit for "best writing," "best directing," "best drama series," etc, and as far as I know, they submit specific episodes to represent what the team feels is their best work. IMO they'll submit "Dear Billy" as that representation for as many categories as they can.

For those who don't know for something as big as this, Visual effects takes hundreds of people to do. Take avengers endgame for example, it took 1000 people just for visual effects out of the 15000 people that were employed.

It was Sadie’s look of terror and desperation throughout this whole sequence that sold the realism and it’s your job as a full team to help her convey it by giving her all you can to work with and helping your team execute your vision instead of just dumping the actor on a bluescreen and telling your CG artists to just make shit happen.

[@sitcomperson5739]

From what BTS I've seen I noticed that none of the stunts are done by the actors themselves. No falls, no dragging, no getting thrown, they are used in only those shots where facial expressions are necessary. Millie falling on the rinko mania floor, Saddie getting dragged and she slipping, Natalia getting thrown to the wall, all the scene are done by stunt doubles.And I respect ST for doing that, we focus more on the end product than the actor's struggle to get through that scene. As its a sci-fi series, not an action series.

At the end of the day, the Party are young people who aren't professional stuntpersons. They have done some minor stunt stuff involving wire work (one scene involving Millie being flipped over and over resulted in her having to do answer the porcelain telephone once it was done), but why risk hurting them?

There is a reason why movies like "Aliens" from 1986 still looks so much better than movies produced today with purely only cgi special effects. NO cgi can trick the human eye to believe IT'S real mass and gravity. Because no CGI knows the real world.

[@AntonWongVideo]

WOW! at 1:06, you can see that only Sadie and the 2 foreground pillars are practical elements they used in the shot; everything else was rotoscoped out for the wide shot to show the expansiveness of the upside down. I'm assuming the stuff in the far background are just 3D models. Though, it's possible they could've used a roto'd clean plate of the Mind Lair set and comp that far in the back so lack of parallax won't be a big issue. and of course, color it and add fog + debris layers to cover it up. It helps that it was lit well I can't wait for more breakdowns from Vol 2!!!
