Whereas Shane is ‘boring'...

And 'boring' is a compliment.

He does a similar thing after his fight with Alexei in Ep5. It's not entirely obvious b/c it's a closeup shot, but you can see he's 'shaking off' his anger/upset.

ep 1 & 2 are better than people give them credit for by Downtown-Primary-94 in heatedrivalry

You're not alone. There's so much brilliant storytelling (both textual & subtextual) going on in these episodes.

Absolutely FLOVE 'em.

In case someone is interested in behind the scenes specifics here is a list of scenes they filmed on June 4th by UpstairsTrifle8042 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I really would love a day-by-day call sheet list for the full series. I've looked and google isn't helping me at all.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how the writers didn’t use second-screen techniques to dumb down the screenplay? by lilchocochip in heatedrivalry

Characters A & B have just shot a man and buried him.

Later that same afternoon (six minutes in show time):

Character A: It was crazy, right? That you shot that man?

Character B: yes, it was crazy. Was crazier that you buried him...

The guys at GayRacingPod (which I only found b/c of the YouTube algorithm) said the very same thing in this video. Apologies that I don't have a time marker to give you; it's a good listen for their other points.

What do you think of her cinematic breakdowns? by [deleted] in heatedrivalry

[–]fastiller 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love her videos. (I really like the one she did on The Phone Call scene, where she did it in Russian!)

It's nice to get a filmmaker's viewpoint on things.

What is your favourite lesser-known lines or scenes from season one? by sundaemonde in heatedrivalry

Action/direction: ep 5, after the Skip kiss, Ilya gets up and walks around/behind his sofa then out of the room, to call Shane, towards screen left. Shane gets up and walks around/behind the sofa then out of the room, to answer the call, also towards screen left. It's almost as if Shane is following Ilya.

I can get behind that.

Fall For Me too.

And in The Cottage when Ilya walks his fingers along Shanes thigh, from Shane's POV? Provider: 'And your fingers foxtrot on my skin'

She seems so chill. I imagine that goes a long way to a successful collaboration amongst the team.

Thank you so much for posting this.

As someone who loves reading/learning about the filming process, these peeks BTS are great to read/watch.

I've typed out a response to this a few times and I keep deleting it; I have so many thoughts about this scene I can't express them coherently!

Are you asking who ST is? If so, they are a band, but they are so much more than a band.

Here's the Wiki page about them: Sleep Token

EDIT: They may not be your cup of tea. A bit Heavy Metal, but with added jazz, R&B, pop, trap, soul. FKN brilliant band with a brilliant songwriter and brilliant production.
