[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted this upthread but I think it got lost in discussion of the hearing. Since we're back on the topic of the birth scene, here is a description of how another movie handled a birth scene with simulated nudity with Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh:

[I]Before filming the actors rehearsed with a midwife consultant, Penny Taylor, who used a doll as she walked them through the blocking...

"An intimacy coordinator was also on set given that Pugh was naked except for a bra and a heavy prosthetic belly, which gave her knee and back pain almost “instantly.”

“I was mostly acting with Florence’s bum,” Garfield said, and was acutely aware he was in a position of trust. “So I really wanted to make sure that she felt safe and felt tended to and cared for.”

In between takes, Pugh said, they would rarely leave the set. “We would apply each other’s ‘scene sweat’ so no one from the makeup department had to enter our safe space,” she wrote."[/I]

Sounds like Baldoni handled the birth scene on IEWU really differently. I wonder if he regrets not handling the scene differently. This is an example of how a director approached a different, but also pivotal birth scene in another movie, and it looks like a lot of effort was taken to ensure the comfort of the actors, that everyone knew what to expect in advance of the shoot, and that any problems that arose could be addressed by professional present on set. It also shows how shooting the scene was clearly an intimate experience for the actors involved and they took a lot of care with one another and that Garfield was especially respectful of the position Pugh was in and the fact that she was unclothed.

I have no idea what other birth scenes are like but there appears to be a big gap between what happened on IEWU and what is described in this article.[/quote]

Part of the gap, which you will ignore, is that there was a meeting with the intimacy coordinator that BL blew off. [/quote]
