As usual, Steve Weintraub over at Collider.com knows just what questions to ask to get interesting tidbits out of folks. This time around he got some info from visual effects artists, Phil Tippett and John Rosengrant (whose IMDB page lists him as the “animatronic and special makeup effects” supervisor for BD Parts 1 & 2), about the effects in Breaking Dawn:

Collider has a new in-depth interview with Taylor where they cover Abduction and the Twilight series. Here’s what Taylor had to say about Breaking Dawn: How difficult is it for you to let all of the Twilight stuff go, leaving the cast?

LAUTNER: It’s different. Whenever we would finish filming any of the other movies, we would be bummed, but we would know that it was just a matter of a few months before we would be back filming another one.
