The scenes where Dwight climbs into a box almost did not make the episode. Mike Schur, who wrote the episode, feared that Dwight climbing into the box would not only make the episode "crazy broad," but also make the rest of the episode look boring by comparison. After shooting the scene, however, he described it as "the most natural thing in the world." Phil Shaw, the stunt man for "The Office", did most of the work in the box. Schur described Dwight's emergence from the box as his "action hero" moment. Daniels likened the scene to the movie "Alien".
