Okay . . . The Filightmare's Island
We needed a location that felt a bit different from Berk so that it was clear that Astrid and Hiccup had traveled across the ocean to reach it. It needed to be eerie and imposing and a bit dangerous-feeling. And of course it needed to be close.
Well, guess what, we found it . . .
A friend of ours took Matthew and me just past his house to an abandoned sandstone quarry. It was breathtaking! There's a gorge-like strip down the middle with boulders and cliffs and sand and rocks and everything we wanted and needed. We were sold.
We scoped out places to shoot, looked for the perfect angles and calculated the time of day we would need to come to make sure the sun was in the right place. It was incredible. Again, I found too many places I loved. I want Hiccup and Astrid to spend a bit of time on this island just so I can show more of this place.
This is where Hiccup and Astrid will stand right before the Flightmare appears and Toothless runs them off the cliff. Don't worry guys, you don't have to jump of this thing :)
Well that's tow locations down, four to go. We're still looking for the Arena, the Village, the Prison Keep, and the sheep pen. AND we've got to rustle up some sheep.
