The ambitious season finale of NBCBlacklist was put together through the combined efforts of its producers and stars. TheBlacklist
to shut down production in the middle of episode 19, the NBC crime thriller was presented with a decision to make: end season 7 abruptly or step outside their comfort zone. Producers opted to go with the latter, creating an ambitious hybrid episode featuring live-action footage and graphic novel-style animation.
"We thought, maybe we can use some of those images from the comics that are the likenesses of the characters and cut to them while they're still talking. Eventually, that evolved into finding a company that could actually pull it off," Bokenkamp says, admitting the process has been a steep learning curve for the team. They hired Proof, an Atlanta- and London-based animation firm to take on the tall task."We've been finding it as we go. We've never done this before.
Klattenhoff and his co-stars were all sent microphones, where they recorded their lines wherever they were quarantining before sending it back to production for use in the episode. Klattenhoff, for instance, recorded all of his dialogue in a closet on his iPhone."I was lucky that the place we're staying has this great walk-in linen closet," he shares."I was hanging up towels everywhere and finding anything that absorbed the sound and then hooked up the mic.
Even so, producers hope they won't have to resort to another last-minute episode like this one when season 8 rolls around, whenever that ends up being. And the idea of working ininto a future storyline doesn't sound all that intriguing to Bokenkamp and Eisendrath.
