Filming day three was Great! Great footage. Great acting. And great BTS photos : )
Hiccup Haddock finds Technology
This location is the most gorgeous I've seen. BUT, there are two drawbacks. First, it's a popular place so there are always people around watching us (and sometimes getting into our shots), and second, the falls make it really loud, so I have to communicate with my actors via crazy miming or cell phone. It sure makes for some funny BTS photos.
Cutting the Dragon loose . . . only, there's no dragon.
Just taking a break between dragon attacks.
This is what happens to actors who sleep on set : )
Hiccup nearly got crisped by Toothless here and he was just taking a breather. Miriam was along filming the behind-the-scenes stuff and she caught this. He had no idea.
This green blob behind Hiccup will be replaced with our CGI Toothless in post production, but right now it's just pillows and blankets wrapped up inside one of our green screen sheets. Mason and Miriam carried it all the way to site and Mason carried it all the way back. AND--irony--we only needed it for a single ten-second shot.
BUT, Miriam sure appreciated having the blob on site, she laid on it and watched us film
. . . until she fell asleep. We thought we'd get to her scene today, but we didn't. Next time!
