00:00Okay, action!
00:06I decided to revisit How to Train Your Dragon because
00:09I want you to feel the thrill of flying on top of a dragon
00:14But also the fear that you could fall
00:18Dragon fire is hot
00:20Enemy dragons mean near-death situations
00:24I want that thrill to deliver that level of immersion and excitement
00:28It's time hiccup
00:30And it meant we had to build the island of Burke
00:33Going into the arena for the first time I remember Dean was like
00:47Really amp up how cool this is
00:49And walking in and we were like
00:50We don't need to do that, it's really cool
00:53I am here in this world
00:57With all that energy and I love that
00:59Experiencing those sets that then are dressed and are lit
01:05And have, you know, torches on fire in the Great Hall
01:08People get caught up in that energy
01:10And they believe in the story
01:12We are the warriors of Burke
01:14This is the first time we are actually filming in the village of Burke
01:19The village, I think it was 15, 20 houses
01:22It really looks alive with Vikings running around in chaos
01:26See? Lots and lots of new houses
01:28It's one thing to sit there and draw or paint or even create in a computer
01:33But to be able to build it
01:35And with the attention to craftsmanship
01:37And the love that goes into every detail
01:40It allows the audience to get even more richly involved with Hiccup and Toothless
01:45Everything was made with such love
01:47And it's such a heartfelt story
01:49Especially on the big screen in the live action scale
01:52Having the opportunity to do this kind of world building
01:58And to revisit characters but with a fresh spin
02:01Is just super exciting to me
02:03Because I know where the heart of this story is
02:06You ready?
02:07It's a wonder to be a part of
02:09And I am thrilled
02:11This is Burke
