00:03Is there a scene you already know is going to be challenging

00:05to translate from animation to live action?

00:08Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

00:28like I think about the scale of that battle

00:31and trying to execute that in live action

00:33and it feels kind of overwhelming.

00:35Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine.

00:37Yeah, what about putting Hiccup in a wingsuit in the first scene?

00:42Is that going to be wire work or?

00:43That's going to be challenging.

00:45Yeah, yeah, I've been thinking about that as well.

00:46Like, because it needs to feel so light and airy

00:49and spontaneous and free

00:50and it can't feel restrained in its movement.
