“Once hired, the actors each received a call from the pilot’s intimacy coordinator, Liz LaMura, who talked them through what would be required. When it came time to shoot that scene, in December 2020, the men arrived at the Southern California set and were given groovy 1970s costumes. Makeup was applied as needed.

When time for the scene came, at the end of a 16-hour shoot, the set was closed, meaning that all but essential personnel were asked to leave and external monitors were turned off. “Everyone was very respectful,” LaMura said

LaMura and the episode’s director, Rachel Lee Goldenberg, encouraged the men to perform in character and helped them to relax. “We had some fun with the guys, saying, ‘Can you shake it? Can you swing it? Can you dance?’” LaMura said. The schedule was so tight that the last three men went in together, in KN95 masks, and were shot only from the waist down.”

“Intimacy coordinator Liz LaMura was hired to work the shoot, and describes her job similar to a stunt coordinator but for intimate scenes. During her research, she discovered an Australian puppet show called Puppetry of the Penis, in which the actors manipulate their genitalia into different shapes. “The reason I wanted to do that is because this scene is about auditioning and getting the job to be the centerfold—so what does an actor do to do that?” she tells Vanity Fair.”

On the day of the shoot, which was on a closed set, she had conversations with each of the male actors, asking them “if they had any tricks or anything, and how would they like to show their member? It is an audition scene. So we came up with some ideas.” She also would talk to each actor about a code word-usually her name-that they could use during filming if they felt they needed a break.
