| At one point during Helm’s Deep, Emily had too many people she was in charge of to keep track of. They were filming the scene where the Lothlorien Elves arrive at Helm’s Deep. 100 elves were marching in as Haldir was greeting Theoden, and Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli were descending the stairs to meet them. Emily was responsible for making sure they were all dressed and ready to go. Orlando, she said, was really bad with his spatial perception when he was wearing his long bow (which he was all the time at Helm’s Deep). “He would turn around and take out someone’s legs. Or a camera. Or a camera crane!” So, to see that people were only “bashed” instead of “wounded,” Emily created Legolas’ “daisy.” It was a styrofoam something-or-other made to look like a big daisy. She would stick it on the end of his bow when he finished a scene, and remove it at the top of the next scene. During this scene of 100 elves and tons going on, her assistant was responsible for taking the daisy off, throwing it down to her, and then she would replace it at the end of the scene. They did two takes, and everything went fine. But, on the third, the assistant never threw down the daisy, and shooting began before Emily could do anything about it. And soon there came Legolas, waltzing down the stairs with a huge daisy on the end of his bow. The first AD saw it, glared at Emily, but couldn’t call cut because Peter was there and didn’t notice it. So the scene progressed. Eventually, Viggo glanced over at Orlando, did a double take, and whipped the daisy off, hiding it behind his back. When the scene was over, Peter was really excited, and said it was the best take yet. Until Emily came over and showed him the daisy and where it had been during the scene. She said that was the first time she heard PJ swear on set. |
