![screenshot from the quoted article: “On a traditional film set, the background would be the same, things would be the same [from scene to scene]. The wallpaper [would be the same],” Chen Tang, director of The Slug, said. “We were like ‘Let’s not do wallpaper.’ It would change a lot. So we were like, ‘How can we creatively kind of get around that, so we did a lot of close-up shots, a lot of back shots, you know tried to keep dialog to a minimum. It really adds to that sense of loneliness … so we were able to get around some of the current limitations, but it also helped us in ways I think we would have never thought of.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzikitvkwpqrzs22jio7xesj/bafkreig45o6cjyfytir5ozppjlmv35ihrcpouwkmsfwmeu3lirsr5zwznm)
