Behind the Scenes! Fury Road Blu-Ray extras The Road Warriors: Max and Furiosa.
Two things that particularly delight me about this set:
- The wonderful assured energy that radiates from George even in still photographs. “This probably makes no sense to you right now, but in my head it’s awesome – trust me.”
- The fact that (with the exception of the shot of shirtless Tom that must have been on a break) I have no trouble telling which scene they are from even though in most cases the actors are not in costume and the still camera is in a different position to the shots used in the movie. For people who said it was one chase scene and had no plot, this set is an effective response.
Seriously. George Miller looks so calm and happy on set in every BTS thing I’ve ever seen. I mean, I’m sure there must be times he’s lost his cool, but in every clip I’ve seen he just seems to have Ideal Director Energy–calm and confident even if there may be 15 things going wrong at that particular moment, which there probably are cause it’s a movie set. That’s what makes people enjoy working with you and want to do it again.
(Tangent! This is one of the reasons I hate filmmaking reality shows. Because the qualities that make a good reality TV personality are the exact opposite of the qualities that make a good director IRL.)
I am also very much here for Tom Hardy Upside-Down Head Pat and Bloody Laughing Charlize.
