00:07Finitelo
00:21Non ci credo
00:24Dov'è la bambola, Dave?
00:26Ma noi, noi, noi, noi, noi
00:34We are like magicians
00:36Trying to deceive people
00:38For the purpose of their entertainment
00:40When you go see a magician
00:42You don't want to see how he does it
00:44That's no fun
00:45You want to be fooled
00:46You want to be amazed
00:47You want to be shocked
00:48And that's what we try to do with movies
00:51You know Nick Cage isn't actually a sorcerer
00:53But for those, you know, an hour and 45 minutes
00:56You sure want to forget that he's anything but that
00:59For our film, we knew we were having this giant dragon,
01:02but we knew the dragon was going to come to life based on a paper dragon.
01:07So we had to design our own paper dragon that they could carry,
01:10and it can't be too heavy, and it's got to be right.
01:13And then you work on how do you get that dragon to turn into a real dragon.
01:18But what I think a lot of people don't understand when they see a film
01:20is that all these CG effects, you might have a CG dragon,
01:24there's no real dragon walking up the side of a building.
01:27But if that dragon pulls down a sign, that's a real sign.
01:31So you have to build the sign, make an explosion, or rip it out of a building,
01:36and then you put the dragon in.
01:37So all of these different departments on a film have to work together,
01:40in particular the lighting.
01:43Because if the dragon breathes fire, that fire makes light.
01:47But if you're putting in the fire later on,
01:50you can't put the light in later on on the actor.
01:52So you've got to light them up at the exact second you want the fire,
01:56and you've got to make those decisions very early.
01:58These kind of fireballs that they throw around, energy balls,
02:02and, you know, it's something that's fun to watch.
02:05It took us a long time to create it and get it the way we wanted it.
02:08But, you know, Nick certainly shows how he creates it and passes it on to Jay.
02:15New York's a fantastic city.
02:16It's a financial capital of the world.
02:17It's a fashion capital of the world.
02:18I mean, it's just, it's got so much going on.
02:20It's a, you know, very small island with all these buildings crowded together.
02:24So it's a great place to film.
02:25With New York, you want to do two things.
02:27You want to find the beautiful little spots no one has really filmed before.
02:32And little places that feel like you're in New York but you haven't seen.
02:35And then you want to go find the places everyone's filmed before and everyone knows.
02:39So I wanted to mix in so we knew where we were in New York and find icons.
02:45But, for example, the Wall Street Bull.
02:47We've seen that in the Wall Street area.
02:50But the park, Bowling Green Park, is not something everyone knows about that's right there.
02:55It's a beautiful little alleyway that we run through and these little streets at the beginning of the movie.
03:00But it comes right after seeing the Statue of Liberty.
03:02So you really want everyone to know it's that New York but it's also an unseen and sort of mysterious
03:07New York.
03:14All right.
