0:00:07 > 0:00:10I don't even know where to begin. The shoot was amazing.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Well, I kind of knew coming into a job with three other guys,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15I thought, "It's going to be a ball.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17"It's going to be fun." And it was exactly that.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Since day one, I think we all clicked. It's just been...
0:00:21 > 0:00:22It's been so much fun.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26They all bring something so different to the group.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28A lot of fun to work with. Sometimes too much fun.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Jake, Sam, you will orienteer a seven kilometre walk
0:00:34 > 0:00:35with Andy and Felix.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Brains and brawn. Excellent choice, sir.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- There's a shortcut.- Maybe it's not such a good idea to leave the path.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's go.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47HE BIRD CALLS
0:00:49 > 0:00:52The show is about four boys who get lost in a forest,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55and when they come back to their own world,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58'they've come to an alternate reality where they were never born.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03'So the idea is what would happen if you didn't exist anymore?
0:01:03 > 0:01:04'What would the world be like with out you,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'and how would your family have changed,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11'how would your relationships have changed if you hadn't been there?'
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Run! Run!
0:01:22 > 0:01:26My name is Joel Lok. I play Andy. Andy Lau.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28My name's Rahart Sadiqzai and I play Sam.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32My name's Matt Testro. I play Jake Riles.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Dougie Baldwin. I play Felix Ferne, who's the Goth.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41He begins the start of the series as the stereotypical nerd.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44'Then you come to realise as the series progresses that,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48'you know, he's actually got a lot of qualities of a leader,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51'in a sense. His family have always been really protective
0:01:51 > 0:01:56'and haven't really given him the opportunity to go and explore
0:01:56 > 0:01:58'and be independent, and do all those things'
0:01:58 > 0:02:00that he's always aspired to do.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03'Sam's journey is a big one.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06'He goes from being the one that everybody loves,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10'everyone wants to be with, everybody wants to be him,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14'to being the outcast.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18'He finally gets to see what it's like to be the other'
0:02:18 > 0:02:21person on the other side of popularity.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Jake is very grounded.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29He is very mature, but to some he comes off as the bully at school.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32He's the sporty jock, he's the footy captain.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35'He's insecure about his home life, it's broken.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40'He doesn't seem to have anything that he's proud of at home.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43'When they get lost, at first he's the man of the group
0:02:43 > 0:02:45'and he makes sure that they survive.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47'He's very practical and logical.'
0:02:47 > 0:02:53'He's cynical. He's had the bad side of life.'
0:02:53 > 0:02:55He's only had people ridiculing him.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58He's had people constantly disputing everything he does.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00'He realises what everyone else is going through,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03'that he's not the only one that might have problems.'
0:03:03 > 0:03:07'Some things that are really similar between Sam the character
0:03:07 > 0:03:11'and me, myself, Rahart, is a love for food.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14'I...
0:03:14 > 0:03:20'I love food. There's no two ways about it. That's a big part of Sam.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24'In the series it's always on his mind, he's always hungry.'
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Jake's probably a lot more grounded than I am.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31'I'm quite an outgoing type.'
0:03:36 > 0:03:40The shoot was 13 weeks, I believe.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42'I remember at the start of the shoot,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45'I used to be able to go to work with like three hours' sleep.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50'Then, towards the end of it, eight hours wasn't even enough.'
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I got here at 5.22am.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- I'm going to get some breakfast. - Deep breath.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00This is Matt and my pre-scene workout.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Helps us get into character. - It's like acting as a muscle.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Like any other muscle you would use.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Sorry, Christine, but we're doing Behind The Scenes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I might just have to move you over somewhere else.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13We're going to have to move. Come with us, come with us.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16This is one of our walks.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17We do certain...
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Like this.- You have to stretch the muscle. Work it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Every single muscle of the body.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24I'm ready.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30As you can see, I voluntarily get in.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I stay here during lunch and I sleep here overnight.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- That's right. Ready for tomorrow.- Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You are all about saving time.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39How do I stay warm?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I've got this top, this top, this jacket, this jacket,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46and a hot water bottle.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Then, if I want to, I can get a hot chocolate.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Yeah!
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Lunch time, look at it.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Spaghetti chicken pasta.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Yeah, so people think that we don't go to school because we're on set.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- They go to school. - This is school.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08I've been doing Year 12.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm in my final year this year,
0:05:10 > 0:05:14so I've been balancing my Year 12 studies
0:05:14 > 0:05:17with my onscreen work and my work lifestyle.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Every ten minutes that I get free on set will be time spend doing
0:05:21 > 0:05:25essays and time spent researching.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26This is the tutoring room.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It was a green room, but it's been transformed into a tutoring room.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Joel doesn't spend any time here cos he doesn't go to school.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33No time. No time at all.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I spend a lot of time in here.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I usually have the green room all to myself.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Where he sleeps and listens to music.- Sleeps, eats.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Everyone knows me as the one that sleeps all the time.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51'On shoot, you can definitely see me sleeping in deck chairs
0:05:51 > 0:05:52'at every opportunity.'
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Today on set we are introducing the tea trolley.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58This is where we keep assorted biscuits.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Assorted biscuits for the day.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01And shapes.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05So you've got your sweets over here and your savouries over here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Variety of teas.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13There's English breakfast, Irish breakfast, peppermint,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Ceylon Orange Pekoe.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It's actually afternoon right now,
0:06:17 > 0:06:23and I'm about to make my green tea.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Do you want some cordial in it? - Do it!- No. No.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29By the time everything was done in the day onset,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33'it would probably be about six o'clock,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35'by the time everything was done.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39'Then I'd get home an rehearse for the next day.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44'By the time that was done, I'd probably get to bed by 10-10.30.'
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Then be up at four the next morning.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I feel like I am the most masculine.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Are we just going to keep throwing balls?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11There was just basically myself, Joel and Dougie
0:07:11 > 0:07:15running around a gym, beating each other up, getting videoed.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16So that was fun.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Whoo!
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Whoo!
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- Day four of shooting.- Yeah.- It's been crazy.- We just TP-ed an entire gym.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It was awesome.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- We had lacrosse. - We got really sweaty.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I was just sitting there watching.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48I didn't get to do it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Aw!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53THEY SHOUT
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- BOTH:- There's a demon.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13There's a demon chasing us, and Dougie and I...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16There's a demon chasing us, and Dougie and I can't get in.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Then these two are at the door trying to help us.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21When we finally get the door open...
0:08:21 > 0:08:25When we finally get the door open, the demon comes out and haunts us.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28He's trying to get in and trying to haunt us.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29- He, she?- He, she...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32"Cloaked figure" is what the script says.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Yeah, and we're just pretty much really, really scared.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Action.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42FAN WHIRS
0:08:42 > 0:08:43It shouts.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Run into the forest.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Let's ask you where this place is. Where are we?- Where are we, huh?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54That's right, the hideout.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00WHIRRING
0:09:05 > 0:09:07SHOUTING
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- How does that feel?- Yeah, good.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26COUGHING
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Oh, that was so fun!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Whoo!- That was fun.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- That was intense.- A lot of yelling. - One of my favourite scenes.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Crazy.- Especially... Difficult.- With that fan.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It made it easy cos it was blowing the thing in your face.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42It was great.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45There was a lot of dust. I've got a lot of dust in my mouth still.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47In my nose, in my mouth.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- My eyes, my ears.- Yeah, there's still a bit of grass in your hair.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Let me. Let me get that for you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Got it? Have you got it?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56I've got it, I've got it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Have you got it?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58No, I haven't got it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04This is Billy, my stunt double.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Hello.- We look alike, don't we?
0:10:07 > 0:10:13Yeah. But, no, when the helmet's on, we look exactly the same.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Pretty much whenever I have to do any skating, he's here right with me.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17And action.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29In the scene we had to do today, Billy had to do some...
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Or Sam had to do some aerial tricks.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34- Did you do a kick flip today?- Yeah.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Couple of kick flips and whatnot. We did some fake skating as well.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43A bit of these. Pretending without a skateboard.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I think it was for sound.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yeah, cos the skating echoed.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Yeah, the sound of the skateboard echoing.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52This is the part where he saves my life.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54This is the part where he actually does the trick.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Am I nervous for him?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Heh... Hell yeah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13CHEERING
0:11:18 > 0:11:19He did well.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I was hoping they'd give me a shot.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25'There was the mat there and everything for the first time.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28'I was like, "Yeah, I could do this," but then, he made it look easy.'
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Hi, I'm Darci McDonald and I play Ellen.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I'm Tamala Shelton, and I play Mia.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40This is... What's your last name?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Eh... - Jesse Jesse.- Is it Jesse Williams?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Jesse Williams.- This is Jesse... Is it actually?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Yeah, it is.- OK. This is Jesse Williams, and he plays Sammy.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53They're constantly giving us putdowns. Yeah...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55They're just jealous, really.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Joel is always sleeping. Just never stops.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04The best part was when I got to do awesome stunts with Joel.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- I saved her life.- He saved me from a bus. That was pretty fun.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12What else did...? I don't know, I've just enjoyed everything, really.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16This is the lovely Michala Banas, who plays Phoebe in the show.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18She's our creepy auntie. MICHALA LAUGHS
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I thought that coming on to a show with four teenage boys
0:12:21 > 0:12:23was going to be hard work.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Cos sometimes teenage boys are hard work.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28No! You know what, they've been great.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32'They've been like mates.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35'They've formed a really nice bond together, the four of them,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37'and then as someone who comes in and out of the show,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39'I just felt really comfortable.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44'They're all really good, decent guys.'
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Michala, as professional as she is, she laughed out of place one time
0:12:48 > 0:12:51because she heard a motorbike and she thought it sounded like a fart.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- I remember that. - It totally did though!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It was in the hideout back there.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- It totally... It sounded like a fart.- It did.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59This is Damien.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- He's just awesome.- Thanks.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Cut that, then.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08We're done here, I think.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Damien? Well, he's just been fantastic.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12He's absolutely hilarious off set.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18'Just such a great actor to work with on set.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21'To have him opposite you just helps so much.'
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I think it boosts the performance in the scene in general.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Being possessed. Well, the demented chicken,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28as they've been calling it. Yeah, I've heard about that.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I'm not sure they had any control in that
0:13:31 > 0:13:33or are even meant to do that to be a chicken.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40'I just saw Nick, who's playing the school teacher, being possessed.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42'I thought it was fantastic.'
0:13:42 > 0:13:43I thought he did a really good job of it.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45So I tried to do my version of him,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48but apparently it looks more like a chicken.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52At one point, Dam-o hissed.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I did. Well, the take had been going on for a while.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57We'd been rolling for quite a while, so I thought,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59"The editors have got enough here to cut in,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01"so why don't I give them a hiss?" Chuck in a...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03HE HISSES
0:14:23 > 0:14:25That dog looks like a Pokemon.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Like Pikachu.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I'm Sarah from Film Livestock. This is Caroline.- Hi.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35We've got these fine gentlemen chasing us.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36They're pretty placid right now.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40But when you see them, they do have...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Their inner demons come out.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45SHOUTING
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Fred, Deacon, Taya, go!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49DOGS BARK
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- We've got Fred over here. - Stay. Yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02So Fred's actually mine in the TV show.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05This is Taya. Her real name's Taya.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You've got Duffy over here. She's 12 weeks old.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11This is Deacon. Is it Deacon?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Deacon.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15How do you get them to attack us?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18SARAH: We've had about three weeks of prep on these dogs,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20so it's a process.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Luckily we've had some volunteers at home who have played you
0:15:22 > 0:15:25guys for us over the time that we've been training,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28so we've just taught the dogs to run after the people.
0:15:28 > 0:15:35They've also been trained to show aggression behaviours.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Whatever you do, don't look him in the eye.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39How do you do that?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's a lot of positive reinforcement,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44'so what we do is we shape the behaviour of the dogs,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46'so they'll offer us maybe just a little bit
0:15:46 > 0:15:49'of something that we like - maybe just a lip lift -
0:15:49 > 0:15:51'and we reward that,
0:15:51 > 0:15:52'and we build on it.'
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Can you get one of them to growl now?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54SHE HISSES
0:15:57 > 0:15:58SHE HISSES
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Yes, good girl.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Are you guys OK?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Dude, come on. We've got to get out of here.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34This is Sean and he's being Dougie for today,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36because Dougie's pre-occupied.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37I'm Dougie.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41And I'm Matt, and we're filming the climax of the series.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46So if you haven't seen all the episodes yet, spoiler alert.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47MACHINE WHIRS
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Here it goes again.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54They're doing another take cos Joel just can't get it right, can he?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Look at him.- That's classic Joel.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58MACHINE WHIRS
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I was kidding, by the way. We love Joel. Joel's fantastic.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09This is Russell. He teaches us how to do all our stunts.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Ah, you're too strong, man.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13That's hilarious.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15From the last time you threw me into a tree.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Me and Russell had the same weights programme.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- As you can tell. - I'm actually Matty's double.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I'm the only one that has the same sort of physique as Russell.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30You know?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33This here is Mark. He is one of our stuntmen.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Mark will be fitting me wit this jerk harness here,
0:17:35 > 0:17:41which will throw me back into that tree.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46So that's going to be terrifying, but Mark's a very safe guy
0:17:46 > 0:17:49and he's going to take care of me.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51We're going to be all right, aren't we?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53We are going to look after the tree.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56This stuff is called skydeck.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It was insulation on space ships first, wasn't it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Has been. Also in the US Military. - There you go.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It's great for holding eggs, as you can see.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08You can fit one, two... You can fit a lot of eggs in here.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I'm going to put it on the tree and I'm going to launch back into it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15It's kind of hard, but, you know, I'm tough, so we'll be all right.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I do a stunt where I'll be getting sucked up into the tornado
0:18:32 > 0:18:34up in the sky. I have to hold on to that rope.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I'm going to go upside down, with a woman's harness
0:18:37 > 0:18:39because I'm too small for a man's one.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43RAHART LAUGHS
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Doing his own stunts.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10You're at Millipede.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'm Will.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I'm the founder of the studio and the creative director on this project.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I'm Jason.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I guess the technical leader, or lead programmer for Nowhere Boys.
0:19:22 > 0:19:29So we've developed a story that runs completely parallel to the TV series,
0:19:29 > 0:19:34so basically augments the adventure of what's going on.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38It's focused on a boy who's lost in this...
0:19:38 > 0:19:42..in between dimensions, called negative space.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Pretty much trying to find a way home.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Along the way,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52he's realised that the boys in the TV series are in the same predicament,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and they're actually working to help each other.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57So they actually do things that influence each other
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and aid each other's quests.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Yeah, it's an interesting premise.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05'An episode will play, and that will trigger a game chapter to unlock.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08'So hopefully at the end of the episode,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10'there's a call to action to encourage people to go on
0:20:10 > 0:20:12'and continue the story online.'
0:20:12 > 0:20:15They can go on, the game will be ready to play.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Yeah, they'll see a lot of familiar things
0:20:19 > 0:20:21that they've just witnessed in the TV series
0:20:21 > 0:20:24actually creep through into the game, then do some tasks.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28They'll see the results actually occur in the next episode
0:20:28 > 0:20:29when that airs.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32What I really want, I think
0:20:32 > 0:20:34what we all really wanted from the start,
0:20:34 > 0:20:39is to create something that was unique to what's out there now,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42and also something that can really get
0:20:42 > 0:20:47the player into the mythology, to the big world of the Nowhere Boys.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54What we wanted to do was take an idea,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57take the concept of magic,
0:20:57 > 0:20:58and make it very real.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I've got Felix's Book of Shadows.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06It's where he puts all his spells.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Show him the research that he's done on us.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10So this page is Andy.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Oh, oh, that's just his personal diary. He just likes us a lot.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Pretty much Felix has written down elements
0:21:18 > 0:21:23of the of the individual that can relate to the magic somehow.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27I'm water, water. Andy's water because he's a logical thinker.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31I'm earth because I'm grounded and that's sort of thing.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Stubborn.- Yeah.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Sam's air, because he's an airhead, which gets mentioned in the script.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- He's quite flowing, just kind of flows around life.- Yep.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I think I'm fire because I'm just angry at life.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Because you're hot.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I'm kind of just angry at how my life has turned out.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Angry at everyone around it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Here it's got a zodiac sign.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Apparently I'm a Libra.- I'm a Leo.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02So the magic's loosely based on zodiac signs and runes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Elements.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05TONY: 'The whole idea of the series was
0:22:05 > 0:22:08'that we were going to slowly build this sense of threat
0:22:08 > 0:22:09'throughout the series.'
0:22:09 > 0:22:13There's this kind of dark magical force which is trying to
0:22:13 > 0:22:16eliminate the boys from the alternate reality that they've entered.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18'At one point, one of the characters says,
0:22:18 > 0:22:23'"Well, maybe magic is just science that you don't understand.'
0:22:23 > 0:22:27"Science that you haven't discovered."
0:22:27 > 0:22:30'I think that was the central idea that we're playing with -
0:22:30 > 0:22:33''that there are all of these really interesting theories
0:22:33 > 0:22:35'about the multiverse, about alternate universes,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38'about the ripple effect, a butterfly effect.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39'We're playing with that'
0:22:39 > 0:22:43and playing with the idea that a magical event can trigger that.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Run. Run!
0:22:55 > 0:22:59The big thing that we had was a big tornado that chases the boys.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04The tricky thing about that is, again, we've got
0:23:04 > 0:23:08a limited time to do it and we're in the forest...
0:23:09 > 0:23:13..which is not green-screen-able, really,
0:23:13 > 0:23:14in the time.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18That was quite a challenge of how to cover that
0:23:18 > 0:23:22'in such a way that we didn't have to erect green screens.'
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Of course, technology has advanced so much
0:23:25 > 0:23:28that you have options to do that, it's just time consuming.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33'So it was about finding a part of the forest that was open enough
0:23:33 > 0:23:39'to give us space for a tornado, and removing the boys to one side
0:23:39 > 0:23:41'so the tornado gets its part of the frame
0:23:41 > 0:23:44'and the boys get their part of the frame.'
0:23:44 > 0:23:45The tornado gets its own shot.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Faster. Faster.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51This way.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52TORNADO SCREECHES
0:23:54 > 0:23:56TONY: 'The visual effects' bees are really cool.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57'The crows are great.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01'Then the visual effects helps enhance the dog threat
0:24:01 > 0:24:03'that we're trying to create.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07'So all of that is terribly exciting.'
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Within the boundaries of the world that we're in,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13it gives it another element.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It really makes the magic come to life.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19CROW CAWS
0:24:24 > 0:24:25CROWS CAW
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Yesterday consisted of very mixed emotions.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I was excited, like, "No more 3.45 starts!"
0:24:43 > 0:24:49But also I knew I was going to miss everyone like crazy.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51'I don't think it'll hit me till Monday morning when I wake up
0:24:51 > 0:24:53'and I'm like, "I don't have any lines to learn.'
0:24:53 > 0:24:57"I'm not going to work. What am I going to do?"
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I just finished my last scene.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- It's weird.- Oh, yeah. How did that feel?- I don't know. It's always...
0:25:03 > 0:25:06You have so much fun and forget that it's going to end.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Then it ends and you're like, "Aw."
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Kind of bittersweet. Throw your hat in the air, accomplished.- Yeah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12But it's sad.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14'Everyone's probably really tired.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18'Especially the crew, they work all day, every day. It was relentless.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20'You guys have been studying.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22'When I get time off, I get to go and have a little quiet read
0:25:22 > 0:25:26'and chill out, they're going straight into tutoring.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28'But we've had a ball.'
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- DARCI:- 'I'm really sad and I'll probably cry.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33'I've just had such a blast.'
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Rahart is such a gentleman.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- Aw.- I'm a gentleman too.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39'What am I going to miss the most?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44'Probably doing what I do, the scenes, and the four boys.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48'Except I'll see them, so I won't miss them.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50'It's like... I explain it as just a really,'
0:25:50 > 0:25:53really awesome school excursion every day.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Those ones at school to the zoo or something?- You go, "Whoo!"
0:25:56 > 0:25:58'Yeah, and you just have the best time.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02'It has to end, but it doesn't. Well, it does. Cos it's ending now.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05'Yeah, today's ending is kind of like when your mum comes over
0:26:05 > 0:26:08'to your friends house and is like, "All right, honey, we have to go."'
0:26:08 > 0:26:09- It's like, "Mum, can I just stay?" - Yeah.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11We'll definitely keep in contact.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We can't not, we've spent so much time together,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16we're all brothers now. It's good.
