Chris Hardwick, “A behind-the-scenes look at how the crew turned the actual Georgia state capital building into a walker-infested museum. My guests tonight include executive producer and director of tonight’s episode Greg Nicotero. We have a picture of you (sic: working with the) storyboards of the museum scene, which was stunning.”
Greg Nicotero, “This scene was so complicated. The real trick was figuring out how to shoot the practical elements at the real museum and then we built the basement scene where we shot all the bluescreen of Ezekiel hanging. It was a Rubic’s cube sort of situation. So, Mark Simon who’s our storyboard artist, he and I sat down and storyboarded the entire sequence. And then on set, you’re like, this one on stage, and this one we shot. So we’re sitting there marking off each piece that you get. I needed to be really, really prepared.”

Mark Simon’s storyboards and animatics are shown and discussed.
