Brian Johnson (1939-2026)

Foi anunciada a morte, aos 87 anos, do designer e diretor de efeitos visuais Brian Johnson (na foto em destaque). Tendo iniciado sua carreira no final dos anos 1950, na década seguinte ele passou a trabalhar com o lendário produtor Gerry Anderson, inicialmente como assistente de Derek Meddings e depois como diretor de segunda unidade em séries de marionete clássicas como Supercarro, Fireball XL5, Stingray e Thunderbirds. Após um hiato que inclui trabalhos cinematográficos como o clássico 2001: Uma Odisseia no Espaço, Johnson retornou à produtora de Anderson Century 21, onde criou os icônicos modelos de naves espaciais da série Espaço: 1999. A partir da década de 1970 ele participou na criação de efeitos visuais de outros filmes memoráveis de ficção científica, inclusive conquistando o Oscar por Alien – O Oitavo Passageiro e Star Wars Episódio V: O Império Contra-Ataca. Outros créditos de Johnson no cinema incluem Quando os Dinossauros Dominavam a Terra, O Dragão e o Feiticeiro, A História Sem Fim e Coração de Dragão.

Happy 30th birthday, Draco.
We're still looking for guidance after all those years.
We're still looking... To the stars.

This spring @Akulatraxas and I went on a journey to see many places where #dragonheart was filmed. After the trip we decided that it would be nice to get some art to remember our trip. This gorgeous piece of art was made by enayaray

Every time when I watch #dragonheart and I see Dracos sad look when he rests his head on the ground like he would go asleep, when he dies, it pierces my heart. 😭
After so many years this movie still touches me more than any movie since.

We hope you enjoyed this small journey. The map of the locations is on the website linked in the first post.

Spišský hrad / Avalon
This is the scene that touched my heart back then—and still does today.
The rain scene (linked above) was filmed in the upper third of the lower courtyard. The dramatic approach to Avalon over the water isn’t possible in real life—there’s a town in the way.

Kamenný raj
Another one of those scenes that’s just so funny—I absolutely love how natural and real the conversation feels.

Once again, the vegetation here has grown significantly over the years. Still, the rock Draco sits on is clearly recognizable.

Tomášovský výhľad / The Camp
This stunning location is in Slovenský Raj (Slovak Paradise) National Park.
This is where Bowen and Draco set up camp, and it’s also the place where Draco receives his "human pronounceable name" from Bowen.

Východná - The Old Code
One of my favorite scenes from the film was shot here. I love the way it blends Draco’s lighthearted attitude with a meaningful, serious conversation
The location has changed significantly over the past 30 years. A forest was planted, and the trees have reached full height.

Vodná nádrž - Dragonsplash
This is where Draco “falls” into the lake after he and Bowen begin harassing Einon’s lackeys. Bowen shots an arrow at Draco which he catches. This is a hommage at the Scene in the Book "The Hobbit" where Smaug gets shot the same way.

For all of these: The upper image is the screenshot from the movie, the lower is our picture of the location.

Čachtice Castle
This is where the opening scene was filmed, in which Einon is shown learning swordplay from Bowen. Draco doesn’t appear here at all.

During last may
@tilondrion.bsky.social
and me went on a special trip to follow the paths of #draco by finding and visiting the #dragonheart locations in Slovakia. It was a great and emotional trip.

Some in this thread, but check out the page we created for this:

Sorry Bowen, I hope you like it well done.

On the tail of #draco with @Akulatraxas

Bowen: "Besides from your misery what's to loose?"
Draco: "My soul"

“DragonHeart” (1996)

“The last dragon and a disillusioned dragon-slaying knight must unite to stop an evil king, who was granted partial immortality.” (from IMDB)

The soundtrack to this movie was the first one ever to touch my heart. ❤️

He vuelto a ver Dragonheart. Una aventura sencilla, directa, de las que (apenas) pasan de moda. No ha envejecido nada mal y sigue siendo muy entretenida.
