For Zack Snyder, it came as a relief.
Stuart and Sylvia do such a beautiful job, Zack gushes.
That might seem unusual, but Deborah tells us, Some of the series was made during the pandemic.
We recorded in 23 locations around the globe, Deborah explains.
It allowed us to have a bigger talent pool, she smiles.
We like working with our people, Deborah explains.
And it let us get cameos because people werent working [during the pandemic].
Den of Geek: This is such a unique project.
What was the origin ofTwilight of the Gods?
And I said, Yeah, Ive always been fascinated by Norse mythology.
They were the ones who said, Yeah, we want to see that!
So it was this really organic way that it worked out.
And that was years ago.
I think Rahul [Kohli] said that he recorded his role four years ago.
Deborah Snyder:Yup!
Because you do that first, right?
We also had them record into little cameras for the animators, which was really helpful.
Its very different from what we expect from adult animation.
ZS:Yeah, we looked at a lot of styles.
We really went for developing the style over and over.
There must be 50at leastfull character designs finished completely head to toe.
There are even some 3D versions; we tried everything.
I guess my thing was that I just really wanted it to be stylized.
Were just trying to do a cool, artistic style of our own.
And were not chasinganime, were not chasing somePixarthing, were not.
And all the backgrounds are gorgeously painted.
It looks mythological; it feels like a folk tale.
DS:That was the whole idea!
DS:And I do think that whole mythic folk quality lends itself to the 2D approach.
Did it also give you more freedom?
Thank god for TV-MA.
I like TV-MA; its a crazy rating.
We have one episode further down with a dragon where theres a big epic dragon fight.
Theyre traveling and picking up their team.
ZS:I honestly dont know why!
Its a real problem.
I cant wait to do a movie where I dont get the gang together.
Speaking of epic quests, its been quite a journey for you two to get here.
How does it feel to now be sitting down and watching the finished episodes?
DS:I couldnt believe it was actually happening.
So when we finally did the final mix I was like, Really, its over?
So this part is fun because you almost forget you get to show it to an audience.
ZS:Thats so true.
Its funny to think about it like, Oh yeah, this is going to get released!
DS:Its not just for me?!?
So how does it feel now that people are watching it after all these years?
ZS:Im excited for people to see it.
I cant wait for them to see it.
Im just really impressed by SylviaSigrid is just amazing as a character.
Shes unbelievably stubborn but loving.
DS:Everyone took it seriously; it didnt matter that it was animation.
And they got it!
ZS:Honestly, Hans and his guys have done such a good job.
I cant wait forTwilight of the Godsat the Hollywood Bowl.
All eight episodes of Twilight of the Gods hit Netflix on Sept. 19.
