Preparing for battle |
Filming on the Treasure of Mars will conclude this week, and as such so will filming on the first half of the third season. Here are a few behind the scenes tidbits from the two-parter, featuring the return of the Ice Warriors (well the title is a giveaway) and my custom Ice Lord! Yes, despite not using him in Terra Nova (which you can find out more here), the Ice Lord was due a comeback. It's been a few years since I first made that custom, and I still think that he and my Silurian are among my favourites. However, the years have not been kind to this custom, particularly his glittery cape which started to leave deposits of glitter across the floor of the set. I've yet to see the rushes on the computer, so chances are as the story goes on you will see little sparkly bits on the floor. Now you know what those are!
Instruments of destruction |
As you can see in the above image, the Ferrero Roche tub makes a comeback, and the device in my hand is basically a remote control hooked up to the camera so that I won't knock the camera when pressing record. Highly recommended when filming stop-motion. Also note the blob of blu-tack and the 8th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver, there because... well, you never know when either will come in handy!
Stay tuned for more updates as production continues!
Are you using the 8th doctor from the doctor dalek twin pack? you should because it is the perfect colour scheme!! really looking forward to another ice warrior story of yours. Terra Nova was my favourite!
