Stephenie Meyer shares Eclipse shooting details.

Eclipse is in theaters for more than a month and it has in its box office more than $ 280 millions worldwide.
The author of the successful saga, Stephenie Meyer, was on set at this time in the most interesting scenes. So here is the story of The Twilight Saga Eclipse shooting process.

The filming dates for the movie were 17 August 2009 - 31 October 2009
It's hard to state the exact location, but the Eclipse was filmed in Canada. All action took place in British Columbia including major city - Vancouver.
Stephenie share with the tent scene shooting details. Did you know that :

- Kristen got seek when they were shooting Eclipse tent scene. She had stomach flu.
Everyone got lucky that it wasn't her time to speak in that scene, so she had just to lay on the ground in the sleeping bag.

- Taylor brought a garbage bag on set so Kristen Stewart could puke if she need to while shooting. By the way we're all glad that Kristen is feeling herself good right now. As well as it was very thoughtful from Taylor to bring the garbage bag and make care of Kristen.
- Edward supposed to be calm and mature, but it looks like he is angry in the scene after Jacob kissed Bella.

- Stephenie though that if Edward would grab Jacob's shoulder, the wolf should have at least blood on it. But the filmmakers decided to stay away from blood. When Stephenie thought of changing anything there ... "And they’d already filmed that day, we couldn’t redo it." commented Stephenie

- Another shock detail is that in the first version of tent scene, Jacob doesn't touch Bella while getting into sleeping bag. Thanks they've changed it or it would've been complete disaster.

- Kristen Stewart is knitting between takes. Can you even imagine that mega star Kristen like to come her self while knitting. I never saw any photo of Kristen knitting, but Stephenie told that lady from the crew, the hair lady Gina, taught Kristen how to knit.

So it's funny things happening over there, on the other side which is not opened. I wish we could know more about making the Eclipse or be more involved in it, but we will surely have some extra, exceeded and deleted scenes in Eclipse DVD.

What mean the symbols of The Twilight Saga books cover.

I have found Stephenie's comments on what exactly does the apple on the cover of Twilight means?

"The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit." I used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because I loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with? A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Then you have Paris and the golden apple in Greek mythology—look how much trouble that started. Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, I love the beautiful simplicity of the picture. To me it says: choice." said Stephenie Meyer.

Of course there are different theories on the web: one think that Apple means forbidden, the others believe that it's related to Adam and Eve.

The next book cover "New Moon". I found Stephenie's explanation:
"That is a ruffled tulip. As for the meaning... If you've read the Twilight FAQ, you know that the apple cover had a lot of meaning for me, and I was an active part of the covering process. However, that experience is more the exception than the rule in the publishing world. Something to keep in mind if you intend to embark on a career as a writer: lots of things you might expect to be under your control are not. Covers, for example. Those are mostly up to the publisher and the marketing and sales departments. So I don't know what the tulip means—I didn't have anything to do with this one." commented Stephenie.

So the real meaning is, that author of The Twilight Saga: New Moon didn't have any.
I believe that New Moon is more symbolized with the new life started there. As Edward left Bella she had to go through the hard times, but she had her second birth, second life with Jacob. Flower look like Indian symbol.

The cover of Eclipse pictures red ribbon teared, but still tight.
There is no much differences among theories considering this cover. Almost everyone agreed that Eclipse cover illustrates Bella's choice between Edward (her true love) and Jacob (her friend, but not just friend.)She wants to make a choice and get things right, but Bella just can't let go Jacob as he is too important.

The last book named Breaking Dawn puts everything on its places.

"Breaking Dawn's cover is a metaphor for Bella's progression throughout the entire saga. She began as the weakest (at least physically, when compared to vampires and werewolves) player on the board: the pawn. She ended as the strongest: the queen. In the end, it's Bella that brings about the win for the Cullens." explained Stephenie Meyer.

Watch Eclipse online from scenes on Youtube

As  everyone is trying to watch Eclipse online, I decide to make it a bit easier and put all the scenes I found on YouTube in chronological order.

I suppose it should be the first one. Alice had vision, so they're trying to catch Victoria (Paul and Emmet's incident).




Next goes the scene at the parking lot near the school.



So as they left parking lot, Jacob brings Bella home where she meets Leah Clearwater.



So Edward wasn't very happy when Bella got home from Jacob, but it wasn't not the reason he had to worry about as someone was in her house, stranger.



As Bella isn't so safe anymore, wolfs and vampires try to work together. The idea with Switzerland I liked the most. So it's sort of relief.



While Bella is with Jacob, listening to the old stories and legends of Quileutes. Riley is making an army with Victoria and that is the place where Bree Tanner came in.



It's so unsafe around Seattle right now, but the scene is like an oasis in the desert.



As the next day Bella meets Jacob, he decides to tell about his feelings. We don't have that scene, but we can watch what has happened after Jacob kissed Bella.



Bella and Edward went to Cullens house so Carlisle could make a bandaging. But there is one person in Cullen's family that doesn't want to accept Bella's choice to be a monster.



While Rosalie is telling the story of her life to Bella, Volturi are watching how newborns act and decide to see what newborns are created for .




Alice had a vision,so Cullens must start fight trainings together with wolfs.



A lot scenes are missing since training such as Jasper's story, Edwrad's choice and Jacob carrying Bella across the forest. When we are back to Bella's house, she has very interesting talk with her father.





As they clear everything out. The battle is soon going to start, so we see Riley and Victoria together.




I hope you've liked it. It's not much of course, but if you are so passionated about Eclipse and searching for anyways to watch Eclipse online it's better , than nothing!

  

Stephenie helped to deal with wolf transformation problem.

This is the interview with Phil Tippet, who is visual effect supervisor in the Twilight Saga : New Moon and Eclipse. He told some secrets how actually the wolfs are transformed and how they made them look so real.

The wolves are transforming in half a second.
In the battle there was a big part of contact between vampires and wolves as well as a lot of choreography. This first of all shoot the actors after what added the wolves.

As to .... the most hard always is to make a contact with people and something that isn't even on set.

"We build this thing...we called a potato...the shape of the wolf...were people can hang out" Phil Tippet

Taylor was in a gray leotard in the scenes were Kristen speaks with Jacob as a Wolf. This all had to be done, so that actors could have eye contact in order to make the scene and the wolfs more realistic.

I believe he made a great job as fight scenes are incredible. This is another I like very much where Leah Clearwater transforms into wolf strait after meeting Bella. It's a very quick scene, but also a very natural one.

Jacob Black and Edward Cullen as two different personalities.

It is visible to the naked eye how different those two characters of The Twilight Saga are.

The thing is not only the physical difference and their confrontation. Stephenie put the emphasis on comparison of those two types as ice and fire, cold and warm, they are the most opposite types of person that you can even imagine.

Their characters as Jacob and Edward are not very common in the modern life. Stephenie took extreme prototypes to creating those.

Jacob is very kind and young with passion inside him, but an irony of fate is that those are usually get punished for their sincerely behaviour.
The third movie is opening that picture to the audience. Poor Jacob has not only opened his heart to the love of his life, but tried to do everything that he even could. Discarded, he put the emphasise on his feelings as the final words were:
"I'll be waiting"said Jacob
"Until my heart stops biting" continued Bella
"Maybe, And even then"Jacob brings down the curtain.

I compassionate him so much. I knew the story from the beginning of the movie, as all 4 books had been read several times by that moment, but Taylor was really good and made me feel so sad. The final episode was quite grievous.


The line that goes between Edward and Bella is quite simple that time. It more even Bella and Jacob than Edward. However there are a lot of moments were those three are put together. Robert is acting as vampire with long previous experience, he's calm and it's hard to understand if there are any other feelings except protection and afraid of loosing Bella. He is definitely cold and less emotional in comparison with Jacob.

It's great that Edward wants to make it all right, he is showing the love that is not just love. Could you give love of your life to someone only because you believe that it would be better for her? It is love on the next level. I truly believe that we can find those feelings on earth, but with all modern technologies and concerns ....

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is so essential to this generation as who else can show them where to go, what should they want to achieve, how love may hurt and how it can cure. You can find everything here. This part is full of caustic remarks, comic situations, deep feelings... This also shows that any choice that you've made in your life and any move you make will cause the consequence.
