Our Weirdos are the best! One uncovered this commercial from an old VHS tape, reached out to us, and uploaded it for everyone to see.

Absolutely fucking breath taking.

There’s just something so serenely morose about it. Seriously I’m excited as hell to see this scene because it is a beautifully set up shot. The cinematography of Good Omens isn’t talked about much and that really is a shame, because it deserves high praise.

If I were to take a gander, this is right after the flood. Their clothes look the most similar to that period, but different enough to mark the passage of time. Also that would just be SO damn perfect. The landscape is beautiful but bare, drawing stark attention to Aziraphale and Crowley in the middle. They appear to not even be speaking to eachother, just calmly considering the ocean before them. If they are speaking, they are mutually anxious to face eachother. Which is a precaution that’s stayed with them for millennia.

But although they’re two clearly defined figures, their positioning in the shot makes them one focal point. The physical and emotional distance they try and create to shield themselves is futile, broken by the camera. So here we have Aziraphale and Crowley, trying to make sense of a world where “good” means drowning children and “bad” means questioning that, the person who makes them feel happiest is what they’re divinely designed to hate, and ending up in this limbo. Still apart, making sense only together, uncertain, and unaware of the morning sun rising for them to come.
