With the season wrapped in 24th of April, Andrew was in the hiatus. But as a nice person he is, he took time to sit down and tweet some nice behind the scenes pictures and information about the final episodes of the season.
The tank camera in the epsiode “Human Factor” was a little camera on wheels that took the footage. The explosion of the car was real – it took couple of hours of setup and 5 cameras and one take to shoot. The underwater scenes for “Watershed” were shot on the stage the very last day of shooting. The swing scene in the end of the episode is shot at the same park as the footages from “Secret Santa”, “Rise”, “Cloudy With a Chance of Murder”. The proposal scene was separated from the park by visual blockade – so few people could only see what was going on.
Now the last behind the scenes pictures of Season 5 from Andrew Bikichky.
