I love that Pedro has such great insight into who Joel is, and I relied on that wonderful knowledge from him to help him create the look for Joel in Season 2.
We needed to match that moment in the game as closely as possible... When Ellie went and grabbed it, it broke everyone. I mean, I worked on the show, and it broke me.
At the beginning of that progression, you see Ellie in lighter colors and prints and baggier clothing, because we wanted to sort of show that 14-year-old silhouette in a way that helped physically.
I felt it was important. Craig and Neil felt it was important, and so did Bella.
