Transcript:

Do you have any stories to share or funny and awkward moments on set that have happened so far?

I'm glad you said "stories" plural because there's many awkward and embarrassing stories to tell. The first one that comes to mind was a few weeks back when we were shooting the scene which Natalie turns Strigoi at the fight sequence. I was super into it and I was dramatically running backwards which, by the way, is really very difficult you should try it. And I just fell back straight onto my tailbone and all you see is these awkward legs in the air just flailing about. So that was pretty embarrassing especially because there all these amazing stunt people around me and I was in so much pain. So that was bad. Two days ago I was in the makeup trailer and a moth came in. A really large, large moth. This is the least badass story in the world by the way, but the moth came in and it was very, very large - there's a moth right there actually - and I got up very girly-like and my skirt just fell off completely and everyone saw. So that's me. Those are two fun ones for you.

VA Graphic Novel Writer Emma Vieceli Talks About Her Set Visit to Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters

My Vampire Academy Set Visit ^_^

"Oh, I’m sorry! Do you mind me touching your leg?"

Zoey Deutch is laughing and cheerful despite already needing to source strong coffee after an early-morning start, location shooting on Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters. I’m perched on a tall director’s chair while cast and crew take a well-earned break, flanked by Zoey and an equally smiling Lucy Fry, unable to possibly raise objection to the afore-mentioned touching of my leg; largely because these girls make it easy to feel in minutes that you’ve known them for years.
I suppose, in a way, I have.
After all, I’ve been drawing the characters they’re now playing for over three years. Rose and Lissa are incredibly alive to me and, though I don’t know Zoey and Lucy well, they’re so perfect for their roles that it’s hard to feel like a stranger.

I’d had a pretty early start myself, having stayed with friends in London (thanks Si and Emma!) so that I could get a crack-of-dawn taxi to the hotel where producer Don Murphy was staying. From there we drove to the location of the day’s shoot, somewhere outside of Oxford; the journey spent largely raving about Richelle’s (Mead, of course) amazing world and Don’s and the team’s visions for it. I’d been given the option of a visit to pinewood studios or a trip to the location shoot, which was a really tough choice. The scene I was about to watch being filmed didn’t feature all of the characters I desperately wanted to meet in the flesh (Alas, Christian’s Dominic Sherwood for one), but it did feature the core trio of Rose, Lissa and Dimitri (yes, Dimitri), and was in a fascinating location…as well as being Gabriel Byrne’s first day on set as Victor Dashkov. I’d hardly slept at all on my cocktail of excitement and nerves.

And so it was that when, on grabbing a break from a hectic day of shooting, Zoey and Lucy were kind enough to come and say ‘hi’, how could I possibly mind a little leg-touching? They, like everyone on set, had made an effort on a busy day to make me feel part of the family, and I was massively grateful.

The break was a short one, enough time for me to enthuse about how very much Rose and Lissa the girls were (and seriously, they just are! Zoey is pure energy and Lucy oozes grace), before they were summoned back on set. However, from that point on, I felt less of an outsider and more a part of the team, albeit one sat with a gaping mouth as she watched her drawings walking around and talking. How could I help it? Especially when I got my first glimpse of an in-character Danila Koslovsky as Dimitri.
You’ll have heard it through Richelle’s reports and Zoey’s tweets, but I’ll just add it again here, folks: Swoon. Off-screen, Danila was, like all of the cast, relaxed and funny, asking me about castles and historical sights he could visit on his trip in an adorable Russian accent…on screen he was pure Belikov. The transition was pretty incredible.
