New Behind the Scenes Photos from the Catching Fire Set at Snow Mansion

While researching our article on Catching Fire production designer Phil Messina, we unearthed some behind the scenes photos from the Catching Fire set at LITEGEAR.com. They had an interesting story on the use of special lighting in the party scene they filmed at Swan House in Atlanta.

From LITEGEAR

For the movie Catching Fire, Production Designer Phil Messina designed a dance floor which had elaborate standing chandeliers which he envisioned hundreds of fluorescent tubes as a large visual element in the set.  Phil wanted the tubes to change color during the dance sequence in the film, however fluorescent sources were not an option due to lack of dimming intensity and the need to change color.  The scene was going to be shot with a moving camera circling around the dancing actors, so each tube needed to be seen 360 degrees and the tubes needed to be the primary source of lighting. LED options were explored, and LiteGear was on the job.

New/Old Photos From The Arena Set of 'Catching Fire' in Hawaii

THGAustralia is a wealth of info today! One of their readers shared some photos from the Hawaiian arena set of Catching Fire. You can just make out Katniss (or her stunt double) in a tree in the top photo!

Catching Fire: Cute Alert!

We couldn't resist sharing this set photo posted by Tumblr user hutchlikestoread because of it's sheer adorableness. It's Josh Hutcherson on the set of Catching Fire with a little fan. Some are identifying the little guy as Jennifer Lawrence's nephew, Bear. We can't confirm this but there is a resemblance.

 We can see the Everlark edits going crazy already......

Catching Fire Set Photos: Josh Hutcherson Ink

The newest set photos from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire feature Josh Hutcherson hanging out on the beach in Hawaii between filming. Josh is sporting some pretty major ink in the photos.

Do they have tattoo parlours in District 12? It looks like he may have gotten those tats in District 4!

Riddle Me This...Jackson Spidell Plays TWO Roles In Catching Fire

We had a little fun with District 10's female tribute, Tiffany Waxler on Twitter last night. She threw down a riddle challenge, and we accepted!

There was a lot of confusion in the fandom about who was in some of the set photos with Josh Hutcherson. A lot of sites and news outlets identified him as Sam Claflin, and one report even thought it might be Liam Hemsworth. Holy Script change, Batman! 

Who's that tribute?

We were convinced that it was District 10's male tribute, Jackson Spidell in some of the set photos with Josh Hutcherson. So when Tiffany riddled us this....

We are happy to confirm that Jackson Spidell plays the male tribute from District 10 AND is Sam Claflin's double. Lucky Jackson! We'll be looking VERY closely for him in those arena scenes.

Thanks to Tiffany Waxler for the confirmation and her crazy riddle skills. You can (and should) follow her on twitter: @TiffanyWaxler
