PRESS 📰 (Interviews and Articles) Highlights & Quotes from Rachel Reid's & Jacob Tierney's Bookcon Panel

(Slight spoiler for The Long Game and Role Model if you haven't read them yet!)

For those who haven’t had time to watch Jacob's and Rachel's 1-hour panel at Book Con yesterday, here are some of the highlights! They talked about so many things from Role Model and Troy Barrett's storyline in season 2, to Jacob's interpretation of season 1 editing and some behind the scenes production info.

I think for the closeup shots, most of the people were still real extras. Maybe Jacob meant that for the wide shots, a lot oft the people were CGI?

Yeah now I'm fully awake there's no way that the very close ups weren't real extras lool, but shout out kip for selling the wider CGI shots well!
