In Young Woman and the Sea, Daisy Ridley plays Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel. That meant Ridley, who praised the film during his recent vacation at Disneyland, spent a lot of time on the water. However, it turns out that the actress has an even greater presence in the film than you might think, which posed a challenge for the production.
After its theatrical release, Disney’s new film Girl and the Sea arrives today at Disney. It’s a tough movie with a cast of Daisy Ridley. CinemaBlend attended a press conference for the Disney premiere attended by director Joachim Rønning. He explained that although he had stunt doubles for Daisy Ridley, she was swimming, and ended up in most of the movie because the actress’s bathroom was so exclusive that she couldn’t use anyone else. Explained. . .
Obviously, we have alternates in swimming, doubles in swimming, and I used them as much as I could just to line up the camera, so I didn’t have to put Daisy in there until the last moment. But what I learned was that the way Daisy swam, no one else could swim like that. It was a very hard stroke. There was so much power in her shot. So I ended up with Daisy, even in wide shots, where I can’t see her face. Because she’s face down in the water anyway! It was another challenge, that of following a character who spent the most time face down in the water.
Daisy Ridley’s swimming strength is probably higher on camera to give a little more strength to the swimming scenes. But beyond that, if no one else knows how to swim like Ridley, then it becomes tricky to use double frames, as it would be more apparent when the actress isn’t the one on screen, as the taste for swimming can simply replace from one plan to another. other. next.
The filming was complicated because you have a character whose face you don’t see in the moments of maximum intensity of the story. Of course, this becomes even more of a challenge when the actor steps away from the cameras. Since The Young Woman and the Sea was filmed in open water, the boats and the actor found themselves separated. Rønning continued. . .
We were all in this together and we were all very, very motivated to be in the water. And we planned it as productively as we could. But you get there and it’s literally like we’re moving in other directions. And suddenly Daisy is two hundred meters away from us. She got carried away by the currents and we will have to chase her.
The fact that the currents were going to be a challenge was no wonder and the production tried to prepare as productively as possible. There were a lot of things to sort out, which Joachim Rønning said was quite stressful, perhaps fitting as it wasn’t too different from what the genuine Truy Ederle had to face. The director explained. . .
I don’t forget to talk to Daisy about it and warn her that would be the case. I couldn’t have asked for a better filming partner. When we were there, in the ocean, it was 60, 61 degrees, uh, 15, 16 degrees Celsius in the water – and the elements, and the currents, and the wind, and then it rains. And then there’s my biggest concern of all, the boats and the propellers that surround it all the time. Although they are protection boats, it is a very stressful environment. But as Jerry says, it tells us a little more about what it was like for Trudy.
Daisy Ridley is wonderful in The Girl and the Sea, and knowing that even when you can’t see her, it’s still her in the water swimming a lot makes the functionality even more powerful. Now you can watch The Girl and the Sea with a Disney subscription.
