“It’s nice but it’s a little strange.” Dean DeBlois, the filmmaker behind the HowToTrainYourDragon trilogy, finds it odd to be back in the awards conversation after bidding adieu to his creations early in the year
Universal is unveiling a new trilogy-spanning featurette video today as it aims to keep theThe Hollywood ReporterMy favorite scene would be The Goodbye. That was the culmination of the ambition. If we could make audiences fall in love with these characters and then to have them bid farewell to one another in a way that was bittersweet and in a way that the audience would understand, to me that felt like a tricky goal. And I think we pulled it off.
The descent into the hidden world was something we couldn’t have attempted even in the second film. Just because of the rendering power that would have been needed on the backend. We had some frontend tool that were really amazing but we didn’t have the ability to put those images on screen. It was always a bottleneck. But on this movie, they completely revamped the backend, and they brought in the ray tracer renderer, which allows for fast and subtle lighting to emerge on screen.
We were able to have multiple light sources and make these elaborate sets that we could fly around. In the past we would have used a lot of matte paintings and we would have had to cheat our way around the scope and scale of the hidden world. At what point, from a writer’s and director’s point of view, did you know the fate of the characters?
From the moment we started discussing a sequel and a pitched out the idea of a trilogy. I knew that I wanted it to mirror some of my favorite storytelling tropes: Disparate characters brought together in extraordinary ways, that may not stay together forever, but they are forever changed and transformed by one another. It’s a storytelling tradition I’ve loved since
