Both an animatronic baby and 3-week-old babies were used in the film. Kristen Stewart preferred working with the real babies because she felt they helped her give a better performance.
Was filmed back to back with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. Filming began on November 1, 2010 and wrapped on April 15, 2011. Filming took place on location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Rio de Janiero, Brazil as well as in Vancouver, Canada.
On February 10, 2012 it was announced that the first trailer would be screened on March 23, 2012 before The Hunger Games. Lionsgate will include the trailer on every print of The Hunger Games released to theaters.
Young actress Mackenzie Foy was just 10-years-old when she filmed her role as Renesmee Cullen, the young creature who magically changes all of their lives.
During the filming of both Breaking Dawn Part 1 and part 2, Mackenzie Foy had a "swear jar" and would make the other cast members give her money if they said a curse word in front of her.
Mackenzie Foy learned of her casting while filming an episode of Hawaii Five-0 Ho'apono.
The Movie was shot on 35 mm (Kodak Vision3 250D 5207, Vision3 500T 5219)
The exteriors of the penultimate battle would be shot in wilderness areas in Canada, but for the intense dialogue and intricate stunt work between many actors, filmmakers needed a more practical private space, secure from fans and paparazzi.
Although principal photography on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn began on November 7, 2010 in Brazil, the first shots specifically for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn– Part 2 did not take place until mid-December in Louisiana. Concurrent production of the two final films took place in three countries and lasted for six months in 2010 and 2011, with some additional shooting on action sequences taking place in April of 2012.
To meet the challenges of filming two motion pictures simultaneously, the production set up two home bases – one in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S.A. where most of the interiors were shot; and the other in Vancouver,British Columbia, Canada where the majority of the exteriors of the Pacific Northwest-based story were completed.
Approaching the project as a whole, filmmakers had 20 weeks of prep time, about five months to find locations, build sets, create props, find set dressing, and prepare costumes, wigs, makeup, and hand painted contact lens for the largest cast of the saga for both films.
After an exceptionally cold Canadian winter that construction crews toiled through in building the location Cullen house, practical special effects technicians had to use a giant steam truck and hot water to melt the late season snow for the first day shooting at the multi-level structure in mid-March of 2011. Snow also needed melting at Jacob’s house, which made for a muddy mess and a rising creek, the same one from that iconic moment when Jacob-wolf first leaped over it in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
