Hi all! Hope you are staying safe during these crazy times. The pandemic hasn’t been easy on any of us and I know everyone is struggling in one way or another. Bryce and the world of fantasy is a great escape for all of us, so we’re very grateful for both.
We greatly apologize for getting so incredibly behind on here! (If you follow our social media, it wasn’t nearly as neglected). While its been quiet on the home front here, we’ve been BUSY behind the scenes. We’ve been working tirelessly to get our YouTube channel restored so you can get back to enjoying all the Bryce videos you love (and miss)! We’ve also been keeping up with all of Bryce’s latest news with her directing The Mandalorian, the premiere of DADs, and currently keeping a close eye on her filming for Jurassic World: Dominion.
Sit back and get comfortable as we briefly run through all this news in case you’ve missed it!
YouTube News
We have been working endless for a year trying to get this back. The sad reality it, the original channel not coming back. SO, then we began adding videos to our test channel and thus that got terminated too… Well we are determined and will persevere. Hopefully the third time is a charm as we’re starting fresh at the beginning with yet another channel. Follow along and subscribe as we make our journey from 2004 all the way to 2020! We’re currently at 2009 and moving fast. We hope to be at the golden age of ‘Jurassic World press 2015’ in no time! Thank you for all the encouragement as we struggle through these trying times and continue working hard through all the setbacks to be the best Bryce source possible!
It’s still very much a work in progress, but here is our current channel if you want to give us a subscribe!

Jurassic World: Dominion
Jurassic World: Dominion began filming in Vancouver as scheduled in late February. Bryce was scheduled to join the production as it moved to the UK a few weeks later. She even revealed her new Claire haircut on February 15th!

As scheduled Bryce he flew out to London on a Monday and ended up flying back to the US on the following Sunday. She never filmed a scene before all production halted due to the looming pandemic. Filming has scene resumed the first week of July and will be wrapping up in October (soon! Can you believe it?).

The resuming production was examined by the New York Times and Bryce provided some quotes. You can read a snippet of that below.
Before any of the actors returned to Pinewood Studios outside London, they were adamant in making sure they would be safe. The actors and other members of the set discussed precautions and what protective measures would be in place to make sure all actors and crew remained safe.
Howard points out some differences with filming during these unprecedented times. With less crew on set the less likely for an outbreak, so the actors now have more responsibility in getting ready for a day of shooting. Howard explains that she is in charge of attaching her own microphone before filming.
“Until now, actors were not really included in prep,” Howard explains during a phone interview. “But in order to get any of us on a plane, we had to thoroughly understand the protocols, who was involved and hear second and third opinions. We are the guinea pigs who are going to take the leap.”
Howard even knows the staff at the pristine hotel Universal rented out for the production. This gives the crew and actors a sense of safety as they return from a day of filming. Because of the limited people now involved in the production, social distancing at the hotel is not needed. Staff, cast and crew are able to walk the premises of the hotel freely.
When referring to what it’s like shooting a scene, Howard explains it’s like a “closed set”. Before the pandemic, a closed set referred to when actors are filming a physically intimate scene.
To keep the number of people at a minimum, Universal split production into two categories. The green zone is made up of the essential workers including the cast, director, camera operators and the sound crew.
For those that are working in the green zone receive Covid testing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There are sinks and sanitizer stations all over in order to stop the spread. The actors associated with the film are able to feel at ease with these new precautions.
“After being on set, all of us actors hope that these protocols stay in place,” Howard said. “Because they are improvements. Nothing feels like a redundancy, nothing feels annoying. It is in a sense a safety reckoning that still feels like a good idea in a post-Covid-vaccine world.”

While I’m sure this has been a trying time and experience for everyone involved, we are so grateful to have something to look forward to in 2021. We are happy to see that the set operated as safely as possible with little or no changes to the script or production itself. Jurassic World: Dominion is still scheduled to be released on June 11, 2021.
