Sometimes it's very helpful, but it's just so unsexy."Īnna Foerster: "When they are really in the middle of the sexual act you obviously want to film that as little as possible. Just flesh colored underwear in general should be banned. We lay out a blueprint."Ĭaitriona Balfe, actress (Claire Fraser): "Oh god, the stick on paper underwear. It creates a safe environment for the actor, because we dance around the nudity with the camera and go through it step by step. ![]() But we come up with blocking so we know very specifically how to cover them. During a normal scene you have open monitors and as many as 50 people wandering around doing things."Īnna Foerster: "We had to navigate through nudity because there are strict regulations about what you can and can't see. We also close the monitors to just the director, the creative producer, writer, and director of photography. Roberts: "We always close the set and have the bare minimum of crew-just the two actors, camera operators, and costumers. The actors felt comfortable-they knew where to move, which direction to fall on the bed, how their hair was falling so I could capture it-it's very technical." ![]() We spoke very clearly about what the moments were, what the emotional beats were–and then we did something very technical and specific: We taped out the floor plan of the wedding chamber, and went through a very specific choreography, movement by movement. Part of the way we achieve that is through rehearsal time-which is not always possible on television. We taped out the floor plan of the wedding chamber, and went through a very specific choreography.Īnna Foerster: "It's a huge responsibility to make the actors feel safe. You want the actors to be comfortable with the moves they're making-you have to let them be free to open up in front of the crew." What we normally do for intimate scenes like this is rehearse first, prior to the day. We don't always do that for every scene, there's not enough time. They were choreographed, we got rehearsal, the lighting in the room was tested, there were tests on what the costumes would look like. But as the production, we were careful with how we prepped the scene-we gave it much more attention without a doubt. Roberts, producer: "We tried to make it like any other scene because you don't want to make the actors feel different than they would otherwise. We'd shoot a pick-up like that as many as six times, and I'd talk to the cast and camera operator while shooting." For example when Claire walks around Jamie and traces her hand around his back, it was very important to get the fluidity and sensuality. But then we did pick-ups-I'd choose several angles and within those pick a moment and film it several times. ![]() There are moments where you do maybe two takes, and you're fine. Filming the scene took several days, and it was intricately choreographed.Īnna Foerster, Director: "I think we were five days in the wedding chamber-and not just the sex scenes, everything leading up to them, too, all the connective tissue. The room is bathed in soft light, and filmed with a male and female gaze in mind-with equal time spent undressing and highlighting both characters. ![]() In what's probably Outlander's most iconic and visually stunning sex scene, Claire and Jamie make love for the first time in order to consummate their marriage.
