"We had to reconfigure the whole studio ... from where people enter how they walk how people interact, putting in sanitizing stations, temperature checks at the gates, closing all the parking lots because we didn't want people just parking and walking randomly and all of this sort of upkeep," he says.
“我们不得不重新配置整个工作室……包括从人们如何走路到如何互动，设立消毒站，在大门处检查体温，关闭所有停车场，因为我们不希望人们随意停车和行走，还有很多其他类似的维护工作。”他说。

"We had four movies and about seven commercials, which we managed to do from June 'til December, which kind of saved the company," Lerner says.
