We had so much fun filming the other day. Here are some Behind the Scenes photos from our shoot. The camera only saw what was going on above the roof, but what was going on below the roof?
For some of the shoot, Matthew (stoic) sat with Mason (Hiccup) so that he could fish the bola launcher through the hole. We didn't measure or anything, but the hole was amazingly big enough for the folded up bola launcher to fit through . . barely. You'd never know that Hiccup's dad ACTUALLY assisted Hiccup the night he shot the Night Fury.
At one point, Mason's foot got stuck in the bola launcher as he fell and he didn't quite make it off the edge of the roof onto the table. Woops! We had a table set up just under the lip of the roof and then a blanket on the ground. Mason would fall in tiers roof--table--blanket. So maybe he didn't fall eight times, but sixteen if you can the fall between roof and table and the fall between table and blanket.
Lacy was one of our BTS filmers and she caught some great footage!
I'm excited to string it together into a Behind the Scenes Video.
And you thought Hiccup drew all the sketches in his sketchbook. Well, guess again. Lacy actually drew the Bola Launcher and Madison drew a few of the dragons. It would be so cool to get a sketch from everyone in hat book somewhere. Or autographs.
Hiccup and Astrid providing quality control.
Keep your eye on this post. I imagine that as I edit the footage, I'll run across a few more fun behind the scenes photos. I'm excited to dig into this footage.
