Mountain of Pizza

Today, Þor and I were trapped in the pizza cave.

In this scene, Ziggy gets trapped in his room by the sheer volume of pizza (don’t ask where they came from) which meant that the set and props department made a mountain of pizza (foam) that they lay over an elevated set. Þor and I crawled into the pizza cave below, so Þor could work Ziggy as the remaining pizzas buried the puppet. I was working Ziggy’s left hand. Frequently Þor can do that himself, but due to the supports for the elevated set he couldn’t get Ziggy’s rods placed the way he wanted them without sprouting a third arm. That’s my job.

That and clearing the pizzas away from his monitor as they dropped into the pizza cave. It was a very silly and very fun scene to shoot.
