- Hey guys!
Tessa here,
and for today's video,
I am going to be taking you back two years ago to 2018,
when I got to go behind the scenes
and visit the set of the new movie,
"Artemis Fowl", now streaming on Disney+.
Thank you, Disney, for flying me out to London.
I had the best time.
And without further ado,
let's go on an adventure.
I'm here in London!
And I'm about to go on-set of the new "Artemis Fowl" movie!
I remember reading the first "Artemis Fowl" book
back in fifth grade.
It's just gonna be so cool to see that come to life.
(singing) Goin' on-set of "Artemis Fowl".
Guys, oh my goodness.
I'm gonna show you some behind the scenes stuff,
some costumes, some props, some concept art.
First, we have Fowl Manor.
Look at it.
Look at how beautiful it is.
And then, if you go over here,
look, look at the model.
I wanna live there.
I wanna move into Fowl Manor.
Can I, please?
And here are all of the Fowl family portraits.
Look at all these Fowls.
Look at this setup, though.
This is where I'm gonna edit all my videos from now on.
So, here's where Artemis cracks the code,
figures out how to read it in a spiral.
What a genius.
That's my boy!
(laughing)
There's. (gasping)
Guys, look!
It's the Gnommish.
- [Woman] This Gnommish writing's been designed
by our graphic designer,
and each letter is an actual letter.
- Wow, so it's
its own language. - You can read read that
if you wanted to.
- [Tessa] Oh, see, Fowl Manor,
and there's the translation in Gnommish!
Look at that, it's the Aculous.
The source of the fairy power.
It's an acorn.
Look guys, more acorns, let's play spot the acorns.
How many fairy acorns can we find?
More acorns!
(singing) Fairy magic.
Guys, you have to plant the acorn in the ground
in order for the ritual to work.
- [Woman] Right on!
- [Tessa] Heck, yeah, I love this book!
(laughing)
Look at this.
(gasping) It's a clue!
It's a postcard from Artemis' dad.
There's clues on the rock too, those are fairy clues though.
Fairy Fort guys, look more Gnommish.
Gnommish.
I wanna learn how to speak Gnommish.
Okay guys, I'm gonna show you some heads. (laughing)
This is not creepy, I promise.
Look at this!
Okay, so first we got Mulch Diggums, created by Josh Gad.
Look at him, that's not actually Josh Gad,
it's just a mannequin.
Look at those beard vibes.
His mouth extends, and he uses his mouth for tunneling,
and he's a dwarf.
And then the dwarves,
they are versus these guys, the goblins!
Goblins versus dwarves, who will win?
And they have fire in their hands,
and then the dwarves don't like fire.
Fire!
Oh, this is my dream.
You know how people in L.A. get plastic surgery?
Maybe I'll get plastic surgery, but with these ears.
I just wanna be a fairy.
Please?
Maybe one of these will fit on my ears.
Here's Foaly.
Look at him, he's actually a centaur, the tech genius.
And then, we have Judi Dench
playing Commander Root.
Look at her hair, look at her ears.
Artemis and Holly are my favorite characters in the book,
and there they are.
Look at how cute she is!
And here is Butler.
The Butler family has protected the Fowls over the years.
This Butler protects Artemis.
Costumes.
Here's the LEPretrieval officers.
Here's freaking Cudgeon, who's the worst.
I want these wings.
You got the backpacks,
and then the wings come out of them, what?
Artemis' classic look, suit and tie.
So, here is Holly's weapon
and it can change and morph
into all of these different weapons.
You have a bow and arrow, a sword, a katana.
It's the fairy book.
This is the book that Artemis cracks open
and he's the first human to do so.
And inside has all the fairy secrets.
Looks really cool, I love this.
Over here we have some fairy technology.
Troll!
You guys don't realize how tall this thing is,
but I'm gonna go right next to it.
Hello, troll.
This is terrifying. (laughing)
Trolls like to eat humans, so this troll might eat me.
We can be friends.
This is so scary. (laughing)
That's my boy Artemis, there he is.
Here it is, the whole set, the whole Fowl Manor.
Let's see the inside.
I'm in the Fowl Manor, I'm in Artemis' house.
Troll was here.
This is all a set.
This is a fully furnished house
and they built it all from scratch.
Just gonna do a house tour. (laughing)
And we have some fairy friends
and there's the cage that Holly's in.
Free Holly!
There's her bed.
That's where she smashes the bed and plants the acorn.
I'm trapped, they trapped me.
Now I'm the second fairy that has been trapped in here,
are you kidding me?
Artemis, I thought we were friends.
This is where I sleep now.
Good thing that there's some soil,
so I can plant my acorn and escape.
You thought you were so smart, Artemis?
Think again!
- [Man] And you'll notice in some of them,
the hidden Gnommish characters.
- [Tessa] Oh, spot the Gnommish.
I spy with my little eye, Gnommish.
This is where Mulch comes in.
Smash!
- [Man] From scratch by our props team,
and when you get up close. - There's the safe.
- You'll see that on some of the dials, on two of the dials,
there's Gnommish characters, instead of Western numbers.
Oh!
Guys, I found my favorite set, the library!
I'm in the library.
Bell is quaking right now.
Look at all the books, and there's more books up here.
Books, on books, on books, on books.
Floor to ceiling books, that's the dream right there.
Look at this, I am in heaven right now, I don't wanna leave.
Bury me in this library. (laughing)
This is Artemis' room, look here's Artemis' bed,
and Artemis' has all the cool toys.
He has the new Lego Death Star?
I'm jealous, what the heck?
I wanna be friends with Artemis.
Do you think he'd be friends with me?
Prolly not.
(dramatic music)
Look at this, filmin' down there.
I'm at the top of Fowl Manor,
lookin' down, that's where the chandelier's gonna fall.
There's the before, and the after. (laughing)
Welcome to Haven City!
We are here in Fairy World.
The human world is here and then underground
is Haven City, aka, the fairy world.
They're a lot more technologically advanced than we are.
Haven City!
Here's the entrance to the LEP.
So, this is where I wanna live,
I thought I wanted to live with Artemis,
but, nah, I think I'm gonna be a fairy.
I think I'm gonna join Holly.
