IO9 recently caught up with film producer Dean DeBlois How to train your dragon.
DeBlois discusses the process of bringing the Berk Viking world into life, emphasizing the crucial role of practical effects in capturing actor interactions and dragon riding experiences. It’s the key to making the big moment real, especially when the Dji (Mason Thames) meets his future nighttime friends.
“Toothless is a foam head in these scenes,” DeBlois said. Animation is used in all flight sequences. “When they ride dragons, we have to capture convincing movements from the actors, rather than just having them sit in the box and walk around,” he said. “That means we built these giant gimbals about eight or 10 feet tall that can be moved on six different axes.” Each dragon in the movie has its own animated model that helps the actor immerse himself in the dragon rider.
The Thames obviously had to spend the most time “on the dragon” as the story focused on the journey of ic-beating and toothless. DeBlois describes the experience of bringing Dragon Riding to his lead actor’s life: “It’s the chest, neck and head, they all move independently, whether it’s animated or controlled by an animation done by an animator. As he dips, dives and rolls and rises, Mason’s body reacts to everything, like a horse.
DeBlois revealed that the technology is very new. “This is the first time anyone has actually done this, so anxiety may not work properly or break down for us, but it turns out to be perfect.”
John Powell collaborates with photographer Bill Pope’s visual lens, John Powell helps breathe a new life as a ic-fucking friendship and toothless friendship. This collaboration really brings the film to the direction of DeBlois. “In the work behind the camera, he said, “I think Bill learned from the very beginning that a lot of animated films we have to try to keep in place to keep. The inner whimsical and the feeling of wish fulfillment and fantasy. Through his camera lenses, through his camera lenses, the world becomes rooted, but to keep all of these things, of course, you can keep them all. Music by John Powell.
DeBlois said scoring is very important. “I always say that everything you do when making a movie puts it halfway and then hand it over to the composer and they go halfway because the music goes beyond words to the heart.” He added that they are lucky to be with Powell’s signature music and take it to new heights.
With the expectation of the movie’s release, we point out that Burke now has a real-life version where fans can visit the epic universe and ask him about his thoughts on Universal Studios Orlando’s land. Although he did not test most rides, he was happy that Dragon Island’s life brought into our universe.
“I think it’s going to be a bit old-fashioned, but it turns out to be a little amazing,” he said. Universal Orlando impressed him with the theme park version of the ic casting.
“This kid did finish his studies; he had all the manners and voices, but it also embodies the characteristics of Jakob Jensen [the film’s] The chief animator brought it. ” he added.
