Famous actor Henry Cavill (Henry Cavill), who played the role of Geralt in “The Witcher” from Netflix, showed and revealed to all viewers and fans of the game “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt“, The secrets of the series, which had to resort to the creators of the show.
The company Netflix has published a new video for the series The Witcher, in which the lead actor tells how the shooting of the final fight from the first series went. According to Gamebomb.ru, despite the spectacular nature of the scene, Henry Cavill revealed that putting it was not so simple. The first secret of this scene is that the actors and stuntmen fought on shortened swords, which they then drew using computer graphics. However, despite this, acting was still difficult. “The difficulty is that we had to act as if we had whole swords, not shortened ones,” Henry Cavill explained.
The actor also said that during the filming of this scene in the series The Witcher, difficulties arose not only among the actors, but also among the operators. The first needed to move very fast and at the same time clearly, so as not to hurt anyone, swinging swords. I had to repeat everything double after double. The operators, in turn, needed to capture the moment on camera, going backwards and not tripping over anything, and also not bumping into anyone. At the same time, the whole scene was to be shot in one take, so the actors, stuntmen and cameramen repeated it again and again.
Henry Cavill also talked about the battle with Renfrey. According to him, it was a real dance, requiring a lot of patience and skill. “Our shots were accurate, or at least looked accurate,” the actor said. According to Cavill, they had to wave their swords literally a couple of centimeters from each other’s heads. At the same time, all their actions had to be fast enough so that the audience could watch the battle of the two masters.
According to Gamebomb.ru, the shooting of the series The Witcher season 2 should begin in February. The creators of the show have already begun to select new actors. At the same time, the premiere of “The Witcher” season 2 is unlikely to take place before 2023.
