I was still pretty green when I made this in early 2016, and I made a couple of staging mistakes with the opening shot, and how the prisoner and guard appear from around the corner of that same hallway in the next cut, almost immediately breaking the 180 rule with the back-and-forth between the guard and executioner.

There was a lot that I loved about this though! I love the Executioner in general, and his voice is really fun. I'm also a big fan of puns, so this was my favorite for a while. I also loved what Steve Lehman, our music guy, did with his original composition. I just slapped in the Skyrim soundtrack for temp music, and he turned it into something way cooler. Also, meta, when I was designing the layout for this whole execution area, it was inspired by the execution scene in the intro to Skyrim as well.
