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 The Girl and the Sea arrives at Disney today. It’s a tough movie with a Daisy Ridley cast. CinemaBlend attended a press conference for the Disney premiere attended by director Joachim Rønning. He explained that although she had doubles for Daisy Ridley, she was swimming, and she ended up in most of the film because the actress’s bathroom was so exclusive that she couldn’t use anyone else. He 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 will probably be stronger on camera to give her swimming scenes a little more strength. But beyond that, if no one else knows how to swim like Ridley, then it becomes complicated to use double frames, since it would be more obvious when the actress is not the one on screen, since the love of swimming can simply replace one plan to another. other. following.
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 the same boat and we were all very, very motivated to be on the water. And we plan it in the most productive way possible. But you get there and it’s literally like we’re moving. other addresses. And suddenly, Daisy is two hundred meters away from us. It has been swept away by the currents and we will have to continue it.
The fact that currents were going to be a challenge was no wonder and production tried to prepare as productively as possible. There were a lot of things to work out, which Joachim Rønning said was quite stressful, maybe that was right because it wasn’t that different from what the real Truy Ederle had to deal with. The director explained. . .
I don’t forget to talk to Daisy about it early on and warn her that this would be the situation. 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, the currents and the wind, and then it rained. And then there’s my biggest concern of all: the boats and the propellers that constantly surround it. Although they are protection boats, it is a very stressful environment. But as Jerry says, that tells us a little more about what it was like for Trudy.
Daisy Ridley is wonderful in The Young Woman and the Sea, and knowing that even when you can not see her, it is still her in the water swimming a lot of it makes the functionality even more powerful. You can now watch The Young Woman and the Sea with a Disney subscription.
