00:04Jayce!
00:06Three, two, one, action.
00:10Jayce!
00:10Shorten it, and three, two, one, action.
00:14Jayce!
00:14Shorter.
00:15Jayce!
00:16Good. Cutting.
00:18Can you cut in the wild track?
00:19I think he's ugly.
00:21I think he's dead.
00:25Harry had it coming.
00:26He's such a diva with his pretty hair and all that.
00:28Everybody wanted to see him.
00:30Now, unfortunately, Harry's just the nicest human.
00:33You feel terrible doing it.
00:35The guy, bless him, is game for anything.
00:37Ready for this?
00:38Yeah.
00:39It was good yesterday.
00:40It looks awesome.
00:41I saw you actually in the water.
00:44Good for you.
00:44Yeah.
00:45One beat, the line.
00:47It's almost before the dragon's sinking, so you still have hope.
00:50Command Dromax, look for gain of hope.
00:53Command him, look for Bala.
00:59You're filming split-second clips of the scene, which is hard to keep the energy up the whole time.
01:06I can't be in one shot looking scared and then in the next shot looking erratic.
01:10You've got to follow the same energy the whole way through.
01:12He will just look at me and give me words of wisdom for like two minutes and tell me what's
01:17happened.
01:17He's telling me, see, get my heartbeat up, he'll give me a minute before and I'll get my heart rate
01:21up.
01:22And he really just keeps the power going.
01:23He's shouting down this megaphone.
01:25He's absolutely brilliant.
01:26One, two, one.
01:28One, two, three.
01:31One, two, three.
01:32One, two, three.
01:33One, two, three.
01:34One, two, three.
01:34One, two, three.
01:35One, two, three.
01:36One, two, three.
01:36So I drowned him, not once, not twice, but six times.
01:39The guy never cracked.
01:42He just said, yes, sir, let's do it again.
01:45By having your left hand on the handle, it makes this feel like you've only got one hand to do
01:50it.
01:50Otherwise, is it much more achievable?
01:53We had this harness that they're strapped in when he's getting dragged under and he can't undo the clip.
01:58So we have all of that tension and the jeopardy and he ends up going underwater.
02:01We had to have a number of tests with him because he was sitting on a dragon saddle that was
02:05mounted on a gimbal
02:06so we could submerge him as the dragon was drowning.
02:10We have an underwater six axis, which gives you a different kind of movement.
02:15So you can go up and down and thrash about.
02:17Six axes aren't made to go into water. They're not. They don't like it.
02:21But this one does.
02:22I think that will be really exciting for him to be on that.
02:40There was something really therapeutic about the loudness of onset and the waves.
02:45And then when I get dragged down underwater, it's just silent.
02:48So I was actually staying underneath the water for as long as possible.
02:52Because I could just hear the diver, Harry, we've cut. Harry, we've cut.
02:56And I'm like, I'm just going to stay under here.
03:05It's the real trick with that sequence.
03:07So much of it happens in the spectacle of flying on a dragon and the CG.
03:13Really, it relies on Harry's performance to make you feel the tragedy of this loss.
03:17I don't want to kill shot.
03:19It would have been.
03:20It would have been my escape team.
03:21Yeah, yeah.
03:22Wouldn't have to survive Harry.
03:25Harry was an absolute trooper and I think has one of the most special on-screen deaths I've ever been
03:30a part of.
03:37How'd I lost the
03:37You
