The sixth episode's director and production designer discuss transforming a Canadian town into an Americana haven and its shocking effect on Joel and Ellie.
“I’m just looking for my brother.”
“After the complete collapse of civilization, and all the horror of quarantine zones and destroyed major cities, for Joel and Ellie to see a functioning society is very shocking for them,” says director Jasmila Žbanić, who, as a survivor of the Bosnian war, wanted to get this episode’s emotional tone just right. “They’re confronted with things that Ellie has never experienced, and everything is a miracle for her.
A close look at these scenes unveils strategic set dressings. “The barbecue place where Joel and Ellie have their first meal, it’s decorated with banners that might have been made by the children of the community,” says Paino. “And things that are repaired around town, they’re not just put together like in the QZ but they’re built to last, because the people there aren’t cannibalizing each other and actually look out for each other.
“We’re playing a bit into the mythos of Americans pulling themselves up by the bootstraps,” says “The Last of Us” production designer John Paino.
