talk with ComicBook.comWe asked Ji and Williams what their favorite thing to do is peace maker For both, Egley and J in particular were talking about how to make the scene with Egley riding a Peacemaker car so realistic.

“For me, it’s definitely eagle. That’s where I’ve been spending most of my time, in eagle. From day one developing how to do that, let’s really do it and go,” Wow, said J. “And the response we get from James and then the general public at the end. So there were a lot of those little pockets of Eagle shots in there that I really liked. Shooting the dog out the window was one of my favorite things. And I know how much effort everyone put into that shot, Even from searching Google Maps to find where it was filmed on the street until we could exactly match the street lamps.To matching that lighting in Egley, only it was smooth in that car.That was sure enough, even down to the thug walk we got On her, the character that we built in Egley, that was what I loved the most about this show.”

In the photos above, you can see the progress of the work the moment the dogs walked out the window for Eagly, including some great work on feathers, but it wasn’t the only favorite among those who worked on the series. Williams shared that, the scene was at the piano bench, in part because of how it presented the character’s personality.

“My favorite shot was Vigilante sitting on the piano seat at HQ and he’s like, ‘Which one is eagle? “He’s deceiving himself,” said Williams. “And we were supposed to put Egli in the next shot, but the animators came up with this thing where Egli didn’t look so vigilant. He looked away and started to move to the edge, as if he didn’t want to be a part of that conversation. And that, of course, was the joke we had to tell in this shot.”
