Our awesome friends over at
@TMI_MovieNews got the scoop on the late night action on set at
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones set. Thanks to Kristen and Darian for providing us with this set report!!!
THIS is the bomb of set-reports! Cute Darian (@dariantaylor) braved
the rain and late night hours to bring us this amazing play-by-play of
scenes she observed filming. #sendhercoffeequick
It sounds like they are a bit behind and ran quite a bit of dialogue
yesterday…WUT! I need a tranquilizer IV until August 2013!!!
Hey Shadowhunters!
So, yesterday was my first day on set! After arriving on set around
2pm during the torrential downpour, I was drenched and freezing cold,
but still very excited to be there! I first noticed the NYC taxis parked
across the street, and watched them bring in the old style station
wagon (which was used in a scene shot later that night). I wandered
around the corner to see that they were filming behind the bookstore in
the alley/parking lot. Eventually a few more people showed up and we
quickly made friends with the police on site and they got us as close as
we could get which was fantastic.
It was pretty slow going; we did hear them call “Rolling” and
“Action” a few times, and overheard that they were filming upstairs as
well. We got a few friendly warnings from the crew, just sort of telling
us to be quiet, which as our group gradually became bigger, became a
bit more of an issue. We did see a few brief appearances by Lily, Jamie
and Aiden walking around and getting in their cars. Our first glimpse of
Luke! The publicist came over to talk to us, saying that Robert was
supposed to be there later that night. She also mentioned that it was a
rough day for dialogue and that they were a bit behind. We then heard
them call “last scene before lunch” and once the actors and crew had
left, we decided to finally get some food.
After the break we watched the crew arrive and start setting up
again. We moved out to the front, directly across the street from the
bookstore and had the perfect spot to watch them film. They set up two
cameras and multiple rain machines so they could film Jace, Clary and
Simon running through the rain and then trying to get into Luke’s
bookstore. While we watched them filming, we met Dudley, a stunt
wardrobe crew member, and we were later joined by Anne who works for the
agency.
They ran that same scene a bunch of times. Here’s how the scene sort
of went: Jace, Clary and Simon running down the sidewalk in the rain,
stopping at the gate in front of the bookstore, Clary would rattle the
gate trying to get in and they would run around the corner of the store,
Jace would stop to tell Simon to wait outside (I’m only assuming, as
Simon didn’t follow them into the alley and looked upset at being left
in the rain.) Then they moved the camera across the street, directly in
front of us! It was so cool to be that close to the filming. They only
asked us to move when they wanted to get some shots of the side of the
street we were on. And even then, we weren’t asked to move far and they
were very nice about it.
Then Aiden showed up. It was very exciting having all of them on set,
however Jamie and Robert left after the inside scenes were finished. We
watched as they moved the cameras back across the street (again in
front of us!) and they started lining up all their cars. So Luke’s green
truck was already there in front of the bookstore, there was another
truck behind it, then a motorcycle, then the station wagon, then what
I’m assuming used to be the Resident Evil ‘Raccoon City’ school bus and
then two motorcycles behind that. We saw Aiden get into the truck with
Lily and someone sat in the back on the edge of the truck bed (we assume
it was Alcide). So they took a few shots of all of these vehicles
driving away from the bookstore (we assume on their way to the final
fight against Valentine).
We desperately wanted to be on the other side of the street, and a
few of the crew members behind us suggested running across the street
with our books and things we wanted signed. We were so nervous to do it, thinking we’d be stopped before we even crossed the street.
However we made it across and walked right up to Aiden and he was very
nice about giving autographs, although he said no to photos because he
was in costume (which we knew anyway, but we still tried) We left rather
quickly because they were taking a few minutes before their next shot,
like the director was telling Aiden what they were doing next while he
was signing our stuff. We figured that was a good end to our day (around
12:30am).
Again, I need to thank Jessica (it was very nice to meet you!) and
the crew, they were unbelievably nice to us and I can’t wait to go back
again tonight!
