Those attending the panel had been additionally handled to 3 separate clips from the present (the final launched by Riordan himself). The first was the first seven minutes of the present, which mainly is the first a part of the e-book come to life, proper right down to Percy’s distinct narration. As Walker Scolbell narrates, there are flashbacks of younger Percy and the mythological creatures he noticed rising up, together with a pegasus on the roof of a New York constructing. He then meets Grover, as performed by Aryan Simhardi, and the two bond over a card sport that includes mythological creatures.
Coming to current day, Percy and his classmates stand in the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a subject journey, whereas Mr. C (Glynn Turman) provides them an task. There’s one other flashback, as Percy seems up at a statue of Perseus and remembers his mom (Virginia Kull) telling him about the Greek hero. It snaps again to modern-day, as Nancy, one of Percy’s most frequent college bullies, teases him; after breaking the tip of his pencil, Percy comes face-to-face with the formidable Mrs. Dowd, who admonishes him. Mr. C fingers him a pen — sure, the pen that may turn out to be his trusty sword Riptide. The scene switches to Grover and Percy consuming lunch outdoors the Met, speaking about the greatest method to cope with bullies. After Nancy throws a bit of cheese at Grover, Percy stands up and walks over to her and earlier than he even does something, she falls again right into a fountain.
The second scene was a tense automobile chase scene. Grover sits in the again and tries to elucidate to Percy about all the monsters he’s been seeing, whereas Percy’s mother, Sally, drives the automobile. They finish up being chased by a minotaur — a monster that introduced a selected problem to the VFX designers, one that they had been very excited to tug off.
“We needed to make sure that [the minotaur] was appropriately scary, but not too scary,” mentioned VFX supervisor Erik Henry. “You can’t be that scary with underpants,” he added, in reference to the minotaur’s tighty-whities.
“We decided to have the minotaur run on all fours as it’s attacking. For us, for me, seeing a bull come at you running on all fours running, is scary.”
The final scene proven at the panel was some footage of the high-stakes seize the flag sport that the campers play. Since these campers are all demigods coaching to be heroes, they play seize the flag with swords, lances, and different weapons (no maiming allowed, although!). After some intense group combating, a camper tells his teammate that Percy and Annabeth have a plan. The footage then cuts to Percy flossing — as in, the Fortnite dance, not the dental therapy — on a rock, alone. He proceeds to take a piss, pet a lizard, then lay down on a log… earlier than being ambushed by Ares camp chief Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn) and her cronies.
Clarisse is a fierce foe, a real baby of the god of battle, and he or she’s decided to get revenge on Percy.

He asks why and he or she proceeds to push him into the water, which instantly begins to heal his wounds… dun-dun-dun.
All three scenes proven really feel instantly lifted from the pages of the e-book, in a really deliberate and loving method. But as Steinberg, Shotz, and the remainder of the workforce behind the present mentioned, being trustworthy to the books is just one a part of the job.
“I think you have two responsibilities,” defined Steinberg. “I think one of them is to try to make sure that if you love these books and if they occupy a very special place in your childhood, in your heart, in your adulthood, you’re going to get what you came from. And you’re going to get to see the things you spent so much time only imagining. At the same time, if that’s all you get […] we didn’t quite do our jobs. So the challenge is how do I surprise you in a way that feels so organic to the rest of the story that it could’ve been there the whole time? I think that is a thing you cannot undertake without Rick or Becky.”

“We needed to make sure that [the minotaur] was appropriately scary, but not too scary,” mentioned VFX supervisor Erik Henry. “You can’t be that scary with underpants,” he added, in reference to the minotaur’s tighty-whities.
“We decided to have the minotaur run on all fours as it’s attacking. For us, for me, seeing a bull come at you running on all fours running, is scary.”

Since these campers are all demigods coaching to be heroes, they play seize the flag with swords, lances, and different weapons (no maiming allowed, although!).

All three scenes proven really feel instantly lifted from the pages of the e-book, in a really deliberate and loving method. But as Steinberg, Shotz, and the remainder of the workforce behind the present mentioned, being trustworthy to the books is just one a part of the job.
“I think you have two responsibilities,” defined Steinberg. “I think one of them is to try to make sure that if you love these books and if they occupy a very special place in your childhood, in your heart, in your adulthood, you’re going to get what you came from. And you’re going to get to see the things you spent so much time only imagining. At the same time, if that’s all you get […] we didn’t quite do our jobs.

As big as it is and as complicated and as many moving pieces… that’s always where its heart is going to be.”
“John and I got to sit with Rick and Becky and just be in a bubble,” mentioned government producer Dan Shotz. “We got to build this with the guy. He was part of the entire process. He was with us in the writer’s room, in casting, on set. Becky and Rick moved up there for most of the season, in Vancouver. It was a real pleasure and it just made a huge difference.”
All of the panelists in attendance had been enthusiastic about nailing the little particulars of the present. Production designer Dan Hannah spoke to creating the world of Camp Half-Blood actual and thrilling (“It was a fun place to hang out,” added director James Bobin) and most significantly actual for the forged of the present.
“We were able to put it together as something you could go and experience. Especially for our actors, it was critical to take them into the world,” defined Hannah.

“We had to find a shirt that would work outside in the sunlight, under a gray sky, in a forest, in an interior shot as well,” she defined. “We had to end up dyeing over 350 T-shirts in basically almost like a witch’s cauldron… you could only fit 19 t-shirts at a time.”
And after dyeing these shirts in batches of 19, there was the display screen printing course of to place the brand onto the shirts, and then washing them once more. Monaghan and her workforce had been so dedicated to getting all the little particulars proper, additionally they individualized the shirts relying on which cabin the camper carrying them belonged to. The Ares campers, for example, had T-shirts that had been a little bit roughed up, since these campers could be entering into brawls. The Hephaestus children, in the meantime, had ripped sleeves and dirtier cloth from engaged on the forge.
Those attending the panel had been additionally handled to 3 separate clips from the present (the final launched by Riordan himself). The first was the first seven minutes of the present, which mainly is the first a part of the e-book come to life, proper right down to Percy’s distinct narration.

He then meets Grover, as performed by Aryan Simhardi, and the two bond over a card sport that includes mythological creatures.
Coming to current day, Percy and his classmates stand in the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a subject journey, whereas Mr. C (Glynn Turman) provides them an task. There’s one other flashback, as Percy seems up at a statue of Perseus and remembers his mom (Virginia Kull) telling him about the Greek hero. It snaps again to modern-day, as Nancy, one of Percy’s most frequent college bullies, teases him; after breaking the tip of his pencil, Percy comes face-to-face with the formidable Mrs. Dowd, who admonishes him. Mr. C fingers him a pen — sure, the pen that may turn out to be his trusty sword Riptide. The scene switches to Grover and Percy consuming lunch outdoors the Met, speaking about the greatest method to cope with bullies. After Nancy throws a bit of cheese at Grover, Percy stands up and walks over to her and earlier than he even does something, she falls again right into a fountain.
The second scene was a tense automobile chase scene. Grover sits in the again and tries to elucidate to Percy about all the monsters he’s been seeing, whereas Percy’s mother, Sally, drives the automobile. They finish up being chased by a minotaur — a monster that introduced a selected problem to the VFX designers, one that they had been very excited to tug off.
