We're at Universal for the Saturday Harry Potter
Celebration. Hillary is here all hogwarts.
I have a really tiny lens so
this is as good as it's gonna get so we're going to
come to the Q&A at like later...
because it's already full so we're going to look at
jimmy fallon first. Update, we found the
expo entrance instead and so we're gonna go there first.
Hey howdy hey, oh you're way out of focus,
all right.
She dead, she dead.
Alright we went in it was ok, I mean
there wasn't much to do unless you wanted
to stand in another line so NOW we're going to go to
Jimmy Fallon. Got some tight pants (tight pants on!), got some hashtag.
My favorite is this picture over here.
I like his bowl cut. My favorite is this sparkly hat
I also like that nice makeup bag over there, very chic.
The New York Stuff is really cute. Hillary: Yeah but you can get it cheaper at actual New York.
It's not that cold anymore.
Alright so we are outside, waiting for the Q&A
at 4 o clock but now I'm just sitting
in the grass, but look what Hillary bought me for my birthday.
You might have to show them because it's too close.
So close. But I wanted it for a long time
and I just didn't want to pay for it so she bought it for me. I'll pay for it...YAY.
Chair guy is a trending topic like
I'm the supervisor for all 8 of the Harry Potter movies. There is lots of different effects departments, we produce, if you like, organic effects.
So if we have to build a creature that
is actually on set, if we have to physically change
an actor so he looks like a character in the book then
we do that. We've produced all the Goblins from Gringotts bank,
We got to create a fire-breathing dragon, we created people like Mad-Eye Moody.
We sawed off Voldemorts nose, we built Aragog the giant spider.
Anything that involves sculpting, molding, and changing
animals and people in 3D for real on set and that's us.
Please welcome to the stage the actor
who played both Professor Flitwick
and Griphook, please welcome Warwick Davis.
Oh don't, please, stop clapping.
I'm the special effects supervisor so as you saw on the intro,
I'm responsible for turning people like that...into people we can put
in front of the camera and I'm actually the reason
that you are involved in Harry Potter.
Absolutely yeah. You see when I first went to
be interviewed, the film producers talked to me
about the Goblin scene primarily and I had an idea because
I've worked with Warwick since he was 11.
I was one of ones who took his life cast for Return of the Jedi.
We do makeups for close-ups, which are
very soft prosthetics you stick on faces.
For background, we tried to make masks
version you can just pull on
just for the practical nature of getting things through so these things look good but
they don't work as well as things actually
glued to the sort of muscle structure of
an actor and really creating a whole
range. Warwick: And what was great about me
you were always very considerate about the fact that
there was an actor under this and
indeed allowed the performance to come through and start making
You know some makeup artists can get so carried away with the
finished product will look they forget
a performance has to be pushed through with this make up so it's
a fine balance between
obviously creating the shape of the character
the goblin in this case, but also allowing my
performance to push through that and to use a
a variety of different techniques to
do that. I think the best thing about the
Griphook makeup was for me was the
fact that it was made of silicone which is a
great product because it looks very much like
like flesh, like skin, but at the same time, for me as a performer, once
it warms up a bit because it's
very cold when you first have it put on,
but once it warms up it actually starts
to move very easily so from a
performance standpoint, as Griphook, I was able
to be really quite subtle, with my
facial movements and they would read through
in the character and I think that's very
powerful, when you watch the film. Every subtle
thing I do with my face, reads through.
Well when we first, I read the books, so I knew
Hagrid was enormous but I didn't
know much else.
We knew that Robbie Coltrane had been chosen
to play the part. And Robbie, although he's a big guy, he's
not sort of 8 feet tall.
So there were discussions early on about how we
could actually do this in practical
terms and obviously if you're shooting
close to somebody that's fine but if
you're doing big wide shots sometimes you can
digitally copy the actor in, nowadays that's what
you do but there were shots where we
went hang on a minute,
we've got the characters there but he's in the
background not doing that much,
but we can establish his scale and then
go in. So we actually sat back and went
well why don't we just try and build you
know an 8-foot Robbie Coltrane and which was
actually harder than we thought
because when you start out go okay
because the book says he's this big and this wide and everything and in
reality you go...he doesn't fit through doors.
He can't climb stairs, if you're feet are 2.5 feet long you literally
can't go up a staircase and so we kinda
worked out a scale we felt the character
could exist within the architecture of
the place. You know, can he go down that corridor.
Could he turn that corner, that sort of thing.
And we worked out a scale which was basically
that Robbie needed to be scaled by 122%
to be the character Hagrid.
so everything was worked out on that.
Like, you move the camera closer to him, then you would for a certain
shot. Cut it, so he looks bigger, that sort
of that kind of thing but we also
found an actor, an athlete, called Martin Bayfield, a
rugby player who was 6 foot 10.
And not a skinny 6 foot 10, Martin takes up a lot of space.
He's a very big guy, we were very fortunate,
because obviously, Robbie is playing the
character and you can't interfere in that so,
the way we approached it, was we made a sort of
Robbie suit, scaled up, and put it over
Martin, which proved very complicated.
He had to be on stilts, we had to make it look like his knees and elbows were
in a different position.
He's padded out massively, he's got water
pumped around the system to keep him cold.
He's got air coming in a massive animatronic head.
It's very hard to spot the between the two, even in that clip.
And it has to be, a lot of the work I'm
responsible for I don't want you to
notice because it'd just spoil your enjoyment of
the movie. It's all about the characters.
And, you know, we just wanted to make sure
it was seen, and there were shots where we thought this doesn't work.
And there were other shots where you went oh, great.
Harry Potter, as seen in Deathly Hallows part 2, in the scene
where Voldemort comes out and says, "Harry Potter is Dead!"
That wasn't bad was it?
So imagine Vanessa is Hagrid now, that's how it looked.
Daniel there doesn't look quite the same size as
in reality, is there a reason for that?
He's exactly 82% of life size, because he's
being carried by Robbie, and if Robbie
is playing Hagrid and he has a prop or anything
near him it has to be 82% of life size.
Hello, I have Melissa here from Missouri, Melissa your question?
Hi, my question is for Warwick, I was
just wondering out of the two professor Flitwicks,
that you portrayed in the movie, which did you like better?
Wow, that's an interesting question.
I mean obviously I was thrilled to get the part, in
the films in the first place, it was fantastic.
I really did enjoy doing the
Wingardium Leviosa scene, so much in fact, I'd like to do it
again now. Would you be up for that? So you all have your wands? Splendid!
Now have you been practicing the wrist movements, the
swish and flick. Everyone, swish and flick. splended, now for the spell.
Wingardium Leviosa, now do be careful,
annunciation. Wingardium Leviosa.
And now let's put the two things together. Swish and Flick and
Wingardium Leviosa. Wingardium Leviosa. Wingardium Leviosa.
Splendid! Well done! Give yourselves a round of applause!
Oh you were just talking with friends?
Alright, is Miraphora here with you somewhere?
Where is Miraphora? Mira? Oh ok,
very good. Miraphora Mina. Who are you with over there?
You're just chatting it up with people?
Okay let's welcome them to the stage ladies and gentlemen.
Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima joined forces in 2002
to take up the artistic challenge that was
to imagine and create the entire graphic
universe of the Harry Potter film series. This fruitful and
successful collaboration has led them to
create their own artistic energy known
as Minalima, specializing in design and graphics,
they have also established a
permanent resident called the house of Minalima.
Ladies and gentlemen, Minalima.
It's going to be a little briefer today, compared to past years.
If many of you came so that we can give some
of you the chance to come up on stage and ask us questions.
Because that's what happens, everyone is so intrigued,
about how we got here and frankly,
it, we had no idea, what we were getting
into when we started, someone asked us earlier.
At our booth, did you realize what you were
signing up for and how could we,
how could any of us and we
definitely feel like we've become some
part of the DNA of the wizarding world we
feel very privileged to be there and
happy. And the last 16 years has been absolutely fantastic.
And we wouldn't change one second.
And so excited that there is going to be another 8?
And God knows what's gonna
happen after. And so such significant pieces,
and so that was a real gift and as a result we felt
like a real responsibility to to do our
best to help you believe that story through
visual pieces and once we'd done a few films
we felt completely bound
and connected and duty to continue
serving the story and you guys actually so
so yes we do feel a real responsibility
and we're always very chuffed
if people say that's how they imagined it.
And what I had in mind so thank you.
For helping us, and endorsing what we're
doing. We always have to think about the
why, what, how did this book
get here and why, should it be really
old, should it be gold, should it be decorative.
All those little tiny details are the things that
us tell you a story. And we try to make
everything so much more complex because
sometimes it says in the film script: "Harry gets this piece of parchment" and no it's got to
be something really complicated
long, folded, like the O.W.L examinations.
We make them so complicated, we have to stay up all day, all night,
reproducing more because there was a scene...
the one in the great Hall, where everything
explodes and then special effects needs 5,000more.
Exhibit all our work we did on the Harry Potter films,
and Fantastic Beasts and in this little tiny
four story townhouse in Soho
in London and it's called the House of Minalima and it's
our place where we can feel at home
with the thing that we loved and
created over the last 16 years. Basically we want to live there.
It's a bit spooked though. I don't know we could spend a night there.
It gives us an opportunity to share all
the details but I talked about before and
with with you as an audience because so
often people just drove by and say we didn't get to see it so
as much as we can fit in the house is
exhibited there and each room is
decorated to feel like it's part of the
universe.
And we'd love to have you if you haven't,
already visited, to come and stay there.
Your question for Minalima?
I was wondering what's your favorite graphic to make was for
Fantastic Beasts?
They were part film, but the
Daily Pro--no, The New York Ghost.
was really cool to do because we had the
open sequence with all the newspapers,
that was a good start for
yeah, it was a good connecting device
to the Harry Potter Universe, because
it was kind of a challenge for all the filmmakers to
kind of present this new world, this new story,
and to connect it somehow without it being too obvious.
So we were happy that they wanted to do that with a graphic.
