Thor: Under the Cape
Superhero Hype found these two odd behind-the-scenes videos of the Thor movie. I say odd because this isn’t a behind-the-scenes featurette or anything, no actors are discussing the film, it’s literally just a 10-minute collection of videos watching the actual film shots being made, so it’s rather literally behind the scenes. I don’t think there are any spoilers in here, since everything in it was pretty much shown in the trailers. Still, I always think it’s interesting to see how mundane some shots are to create on film, when you know they’ll be awesome later with context, sound, music, special effects, whatever. And if that doesn’t suit you, there’s still Chris Hemsworth goofing around and shit blowing up to see. The second video’s after the jump. (Via Comics Alliance)
