I was so excited to film at this place! I can't believe it's finally here.
Today we were filming the scene at the Flightmare's Island. Astrid and Hiccup land, they talk for a few minutes before being attacked by a giant Flightmare Dragon and barely making it out alive. Great stuff!
Talk about filming in adverse conditions though! We've filmed in the pouring rain, pitch darkness, and now intense heat. It was 90+ degrees and we were all so hot. Between takes we would stand in our little patch of shade and drink water. Thank goodness no one passed out. I would have felt awful!
There was a bit of irony today in that the last scene (day five) we filmed, Astrid pushed Hiccup down to save him from a dragon (albeit, the dragon was a friendly one, but how was she supposed to know?) and today Hiccup pushed Astrid down to save her from a dragon (an actual unfriendly one). They are even now :)
