These behind-the-scenes pictures really help you to appreciate Emma Watson's performance in Beauty and the Beast. It is very amazing how well the actress can keep her cool and provide a realistic romantic performance while dancing with Dan Stevens in what could only be considered as a ridiculous-looking puffy garment. Any amorous encounter would have been difficult to capture on camera given this heavy, uncomfortable clothing required for the CGI change into the Beast. Despite the ridiculousness of the circumstances, Watson manages to really show Belle's developing love for the Beast, never straying from character. The technical requirements of such a performance highlight Watson's professional commitment and acting ability as she must picture her co-star's final look while working with him in this heavy-duty costume. Acting alongside another person is one thing; it's quite another to preserve the enchantment and romance of these classic sequences while your dance partner seems to be wearing a mascot costume gone bad. This behind-the-scenes look really emphasises the ability needed in contemporary filmmaking where performers must often play against components that will be improved or totally changed in post-production.
