Twilight Examiner: Recap of David Slade’s Eclipse Tweets
Twilight Examiner’s Amanda Bell recaps David Slade’s tweets and twitpics from behind the scenes filming of Eclipse.
Throughout the filming process for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,David Slade made use of a very powerful social network – Twitter– to keep fans and followers updated on production. Not only did he tweet about the various stages, but he also sent along pictures of the cast and crew (including a very thorough – albeit self-proclaimed “occasional” – series specifically devoted to the set crew).
Unlike the filming process for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was a bit of a pictorial mystery – aside from the very rare or perfunctory on-set paparazzi photograph – and David Slade’s tweets were precious in gaining insight into the on-set goings-on.
Over the months of filming, Slade delivered a great many updates, so to consolidate that information into one, digestible resource, here’s a compilation of David Slade’s behind-the-scenes look at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
His very first tweet spoke volumes of the situation into which he was emerging.
