[42] Jean-Claude Deguara, co-founder, began work in the pre-production, pre-script stage of the series. During pre-production, the six scripts were broken down to work out how the visual effects (VFX) could interact effectively with the story in each episode. [43] Neil Gaiman was a constant source of help as he could quote from the book to help with creative decisions. [43] The goal was to use in-camera shots wherever possible. [24] The Noah's Ark scene in Episode 3 used live-action elements wherever possible, including the smaller animals; larger animals were added in post-production. [44] Special effects were to be used as part of the scene and "grounded in reality", not to stand out on their own. Sixty visual-effect specialists, the most Milk had used on a single project, worked over a two-year period to create a wide range of effects; [44] 650 CGI shots were created for the six episodes. [45] Post-production time was five months. [43] Aziraphale uses a miracle to transform a shopkeepers’ meeting into a Regency-style ball, hoping the Jane Austen-inspired atmosphere will get Maggie and Nina together. Shax requisitions a small number of demons via Furfur and prepares to storm the bookshop, but cannot cross the threshold as they have not been invited in. Shax threatens to kill all the humans in the shop unless they surrender Gabriel. Gabriel surrenders himself, but Aziraphale and Crowley’s earlier miracle prevents the demons from recognizing him, and they continue to threaten the bookshop. Crowley stalls for time and evacuates most of the human guests, then forces Muriel to arrest him and bring him to Heaven. a b c Fish, Andrew (June 2019). "The End and the Beginning".
