Chaske Interview

Parade has an interview with Chaske Spencer.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

Playing big brother to Taylor Lautner and the rest of the wolf pack.
“He’s a good kid. Well, he’s not a kid anymore, he’s a man! He’s a good, young man. He’s very well-spoken, very polite, very humble. And he’s been able to maintain that throughout this whole phenomenon. And that says a lot about him. I’m very protective of all of them and I try to help make sure they’re making the right decisions and maintaining a level head throughout all this.”

Bonding through the many shirtless moments.
“It never really is comfortable, especially with the harsh elements. We were out filming one day and it was super cold. I think we had a bonding experience — me and the wolf guys. We hid behind a tree before a take and we huddled together to keep warm. We knew right then there was no turning back. We were brothers at that point!”

Five Secrets Revealed about the Eclipse Werewolves

Phil Tippett, who did the visual effects for Eclipse, talked with MTV and gave them a behind-the-scenes look at the Eclipse wolves.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

Taylor’s Wolf Is Sad
Tippett and his crew spent countless hours perfecting each member of the wolf pack, but obviously Taylor Lautner’s wolf receives the most screen time and thus required the closest attention. Specifically, they had to capture Jacob’s unrequited love for Bella while he was in wolf-form.

“Through non-language pantomime on the wolf’s part, he had to appear to be engaged and try to make his expressions telegraph the tragic love that is their relationship,” Tippett said. “So there is a sad kind of a longing and protectiveness that we try to imbue him with.”

To get the look right, crew members traveled up to a wolf preserve, and actually got into pens with the 200-pound animals and sketched out what they observed.

“I’m a huge advocate of that. Anytime you can get close to an animal, that’s the closet model you can find,” he said. “And the animators are cast just like actors. Certain animators are really strong on action and there are animators that are really strong on the emotional moments. And the animators strong on emotion were the ones creating the emotional response of Jacob’s wolf.”

Tyson Interview

Movie Web has an interview with Tyson Houseman.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

For starters, in “Eclipse” your character will be changing into a wolf for the first time, what was that experience like for you? Was that something you had been looking forward to since “New Moon” and have you seen how the effect looks on screen yet?

Tyson Houseman: It’s true yeah. Well they actually did show me what my specific werewolf looks like in full CG wolf form and it was really cool. It looked really cool and I’m excited to see it on the big screen. It really helped seeing the images of the wolf because it gave me an idea of what I was really working with because before that I didn’t really have anything to work off of. I knew I was a werewolf but what does that really mean? So to have the imagery to help define it really helped out. It looked way cooler than the one I had in my mind.

Your character gets to “imprint” for the first time in this film, can you tell us about that scene and what it was like to shoot?

Tyson Houseman: Yeah that’s a pretty important part for my character. I’ve actually gotten made fun of so much because my character imprints on a two-year old. At first it seems a little bit creepy but in the film they actually do a really good job of explaining the whole idea that it’s like you don’t have a choice and it’s like love at first sight. It doesn’t have to be a romantic thing if there’s like an age gap or something like that. So I think the way they explain it in the film they really do it justice. They really tell it really well.
