Ready for something magical?
Today's shoot was amazing. We filmed the Forbidden Friendship scene along with some random bits and pieces and every last shot was something out of a storybook.
Mason (Hiccup) was basically alone for the whole shoot unless you count our CGI Toothless who--as you can imagine--didn't make an appearance today. Acting without anything opposite is really tough, but Mason blew us away! There were so many times I looked through the camera viewfinder and it felt like Toothless was right there just inches from Hiccup's hand. It was amazing.
And it didn't hurt that we were in paradise. The waterfall and all the cliff faces were a beautiful backdrop for this moment. Unfortunately a few times we were joined by swimmers and hikers, but I think we looked professional and intimidating enough that they didn't stay long. Wew!
Filming has officially started in earnest! We'll be headed back to the falls for one more scene with just Hiccup and Toothless and then--BAM! The whole cast will converge.
Let it begin!
