The latest episode 9 of The Last of Us series covered the last events of the game, and that means the last part of Joel and Ellie's journey was fully incorporated into this episode, including the wonderful giraffe scene.
Warning: Some scenes from the last episode are (burned) in this report.
Many on social media platforms have started talking about the giraffe that appeared in the series' latest episode, which most believe to be just CGI and not real. But here's the surprise: A real giraffe was used for the entire scene, and this giraffe even has a name, as it's called "Naboo."
A documentary released by Total Film about the making of The Last of Us series confirmed that Ellie and Joel's companion in this scene was a real giraffe named Nabu. However, only VFX environmental special effects were used.
And she said Bella Ramsey In the documentary, the giraffes were very large. It was almost a spiritual experience to be so close to such a wonderful animal.
While the director of the filming location for the latest episode of The Last of Us said: Matt Palmerthat filming with the giraffe Nabu was definitely one of his favorite experiences.
However, that didn't stop some on social media from mocking the giraffe as being purely CGI. It also doesn't mean using a real animal was the easiest way to achieve the scene. Speaking to Variety, the production designer said: John Pino Many keepers and trainers were hired to ensure the giraffe remained calm at all times around the green screens and actors.
Furthermore, a great deal of effort was made to ensure that the scene of the giraffe eating Nabu grass from Ellie and Joel's hands was successful, without any untoward situations occurring that could affect the actors or the giraffe.

Now that you know that Nabu was a real giraffe, did you think at first that it was just graphics and that no real giraffe was used in the scene?
