Tobie has said that he originally was just filming the behind the scenes stuff for himself to document his experience but then got in touch with Netflix and they liked the idea and they helped him edit them and put them out on his channel. Kit gifted him a new camera awhile back for Season 2 vlogs.
Speaking of those masks, there’s a cute blooper out there somewhere of Joe popping into a scene with several other cast members having forgotten to take off his face mask. As they all start to exit the scene you hear is him say “oh I forgot to take my face mask off”.
If you haven't seen it already there's a fun video of Alice Oseman giving the cast a drawing lesson of Nick and Charlie. These vlogs of Tobie are so fun to watch, I'm really hoping he'll do them again for season 2 and 3.
I'm really excited to watch these again with you! Tobie is an amazing vlogger and it was so cool to see all the behind the scenes footage. I also really loved that we got to meet a lot of the crew that helped make Heartstopper possible, something I wasn't expecting but really appreciated. ❤️
So happy you are watching more HS content. Your reactions are really great to see. Your passion and observations are positive to see. I love it when Tobie says that seeing the scenes with Nick and Charlie are something special. ❤️
You will notice that Tobie didn't upload the vlogs when they actually filmed the series. The series was filmed around April to June 2021, but he waited until Heartstopper was released, this was the agreement Netflix wanted, they said he could do behind the scenes vlogs, but they stipulated the date he could upload them. Other than that, they gave him complete freedom to film.
I'm so glad you're doing this! I was just thinking I should rewatch the vlogs soon, and this will be the perfect way! Can't wait for your next reaction! :)
