They had this rig on the camera where it'll shake
the camera and just make it look like the ground is shaking.
So, in reality, we're just having to also...
Hey, I'm Joe Keery.
And I'm Natalia Dyer
and we're gonna take you through The Creel House scene.
Shot by shot.
At this point,
we've decided to go back into the Upside Down.
- Yeah. - And we wanna sneak attack...
- Yeah. - Vecna, while he's–
- While he's meditating. - While he's meditating.
All the vines and stuff are VFX.
So, there was like little bits of tape where we should step.
It was like hopscotch over imaginary vines.
I think like the three of us all kind of interacted
with it in a different way, which was great.
- Yeah. - And you could, I feel
- like you kinda saw that - You can kinda see that.
- in the scene. Which was fun. - Yeah.
All this gear was so heavy.
- So heavy. - Like the flack jacket that I'm wearing.
I feel like this season, we were always so hot.
- Or freezing. - Or freezing!
- We were freezing. - Like, our clothes were
not appropriate for any weather.
It took a long time to figure out the earthquake acting.
And I was particularly bad at it
because I've never experienced an earthquake.
So, I would just like, overly shake parts,
like, go like...
- Right. - Yeah.
How'd you enjoy that?
My main body was selling the pull back
'cause, with this rope that pulled back.
But then I remember really feeling like I was an idiot
'cause I, I didn't have anything on my arms.
So, I was just kind of flinging my arms
- against the walls like they were being pulled back. - Yeah, right, right, right, right.
- I'm not very strong - That's hard.
and had to hold them there.
Steve!
Nancy!
That's close to your hand.
I was worried about that on the day.
Well, it's just scary 'cause you really have to sell
that you're hitting really hard.
Also, the ax would bend, dude.
- That thing after takes, it'd be like– - Yeah.
“Dong.”
Floppy.
This isn't the day that the ax...?
Yep, this is that day.
It was supposed to be like, it gets pulled to the wall,
- but, into the lens. - You were like doing
amazing ax work.
- And just like, - “Ax work!”
swung the ax really hard
and it just slid outta your hand.
- Yeah and the butt went– - And went directly into camera.
Like threw this filter into the front.
And the shot was amazing too
'cause they had the whole thing on playback.
Well, they were really upset that the camera was broken, but...
Yeah.
That is like, I'm wearing a harness underneath my jacket
and they have like, holes cut in the back of the thing.
- And they attached it to clips - Yeah.
and then it’s like, act like you're trying to get,
you're getting pulled up by your neck.
Oh yeah, Natalia's actually, was one of the most brutal
- because she's at an angle on the wall. - Yeah.
You guys had to hang and so did I think other people
with this vine stuff have to like hang on the wall
- for a really long time. - Oh yeah. I guess you were stand,
- You were– - Cause it was really hard
- to get you guys up there. - Right. Yeah.
So they would just leave you up there.
- Yeah, hours. - Days!
Oh, man.
That was a beautiful set as well.
- Gorgeous. - That set is really cool
and looks amazing.
The attic.
Those were really interesting and more complicated
than I thought they would be because we had
to do a swap where we actually lit a rag on fire
and then the rag disappeared and then you threw
- Right. - the cocktail.
- And then we had to, threw the cocktail. - Oh yeah.
Good throw, dude.
- Good throw. - Thanks.
Guns are really intense, but Natalia handled it.
She just like, focused
and listened and there was, it felt really safe.
- And then she just kind of crushed it. - Yup.
- Oh, this is the best. - This day!
This is the best!
Nat!
- Ah! - Yeah!
Look at that face.
- It really does fire back - It’s...
- into your chest, like it’s a gun. - It was loud!
They're cutting into it here,
but as a oner, it is extraordinary.
Her like, grace and confidence.
Then when her eye catches the lens and she just
kinda focuses in and it's the death blow on Vecna.
Yeah!
It's so awesome.
- Great. - Oh my God.
- Look at that face. That– - Yeah.
She's got some major “Sigourney Weaver from Alien”
- She really does. - going on.
- Yeah, she looks awesome, man. - Yeah, she looks amazing.
- Man... - Thanks.
- I wanna watch more now. - Cool. Me too.
- I'm excited. - That was fun.
