Mockingjay Part 1 Countdown: REENACTMENT!!

Courtney & Tiffany reenact *THAT scene

We are at the end of our Countdown series, you guys! We stopped at Chapter 12 because we believe that is where Mockingjay Part 1 will be split. If analysis is your thing, feel free to check out our Mockingjay Mockup series which we wrote a couple years ago to convince fans why Mockingjay should be split and how. Now lets get on with it.



So what happens in Chapter 12? Mainly, Katniss and Finnick are killing time while they wait for the results of the Peeta rescue mission. We have reason to believe that this sequence will be the climax of Mockingjay Part 1, along with the propo the rest of the rebels are filming around the same time as the mission starts. In just a few days we will be seeing Sam Claflin portray the real character of Finnick Odair, particularly in this scene. Finnick divulges his troubling secrets for all of Panem to hear, and I can't help but be excited to actually see President Snow's reaction. One of the things I've enjoyed the most out of seeing the films bring the books to life is the ability for the focus to be changed. Due to the nature of filmmaking we have been able to see what is happening behind closed doors in The Capitol while the main storyline is going on. I am crossing my fingers that not only do we see Finnick's secrets being aired on Snow's television (or hologram or whatever he's got) but also across Panem. What are the citizen's reactions to such atrocities? Will this event change the minds of citizens on the fence about the rebellion? I guess we will find out next week!

When the mission is a success, there is a reunion of sorts that is very happy: Finnick and Annie. I have a feeling they will really play up the joy of seeing a reunion like this only for the rug to be stolen away from under the movie goers. SUPRISE!! PEETA'S A RAVING LUNATIC!! Now I could be wrong and Francis could have chosen a different path for the end of Part 1 completely. But for years this is how I have felt they would end Part 1. Hopefully, it doesn't end too abruptly because I am already DYING to see Johanna. If I only see her roll by on a gurney I swear I will scream right there in the theatre.

So what's with the weird video? Well Tiffany and I (Courtney), wanted our Mockingjay Countdown to go out with a bang.  We decided to reenact, as ridiculous as possible, that awful moment that every fan is dreading to see on the screen. The only way for us to cope with this intensity is to laugh at it, so there it is. We hope you have enjoyed our Mockingjay Mockup posts, but more importantly we hoped you guys enjoyed our creations week to week. We wish everyone a happy film release, be safe, and have an awesome time!!

Be sure to tweet us your pics next week!!

OLTM app update - Cressida Clip

Get ready to update that Our Leader the Mockingjay app! A quick update will get you a new clip featuring Cressida and her crew!

Once you update the app, go into the District 13 hovercraft. You can follow our guide if you don't know how. Look right and you will find the play button!

Click play and watch the clip!

If you are unable to watch the clip in the app, here it is from moviepilot.com:

OLTM app update - Explore the D13 Hovercraft

The Our Leader the Mockingjay app has come out with an update powered by Mazda that allows you to explore the District 13 Hovercraft!

For this guide, we've used an iPhone, however it should work similarly for other devices. We recommend having a decent charge on your device since it does take a lot of power to do all these cool things.

First off, update that app!

Once it's finished, open the app and you will see this:

Tap the hovercraft.

You will be prompted to scan a Mazda logo. You can do this a few ways. If you have a Mazda vehicle handy, great! You can also print a Mazda logo and put it on a table. Or you can just simply search online for a Mazda logo like I did and scan your computer screen.

Once you've unlocked the hovercraft, you can swipe to learn how to explore the hovercraft. It works similarly to the District 13 schematic.

For the next part you'll need that Mazda logo again. It'll provide a target for the hovercraft model to render over. Once it says "Target Quality High" you should be good to go.

Each one of those aqua-colored hexagons can be scanned. Plus signs will demonstrate certain capabilities:

And tapping the hexagon with the banner and two chevrons will allow you to go inside the hovercraft and look around.

Take a look around and have fun!

The District 13 Schematic Bandana

Doesn't Effie's Bandana look familiar?

This weekend our team received an interesting parcel from the District 13 rebels. It came with a letter and a grey bandana with a schematic of District 13 on it. Super cool, right? Well that's all it appeared to us at first. I must apologize for us not seeing this sooner, we haven't seen any Mockingjay Doritos yet so we never even tried the Our Leader the Mockingjay app functionality. Sure it's cool to put Mockingjays all over town, but the District 13 Schematic function is OUT OF THIS WORLD.

care package from District 13 rebels

First of all, you do not need this bandana to check out the District 13 Schematic function. You can just as easily print it out using the app or for your convenience we have provided the direct link to the schematic below. So you need three things: a bag of Mockingjay Doritos, a print out of the schematic, and your device with the app.

DOWNLOAD AND PRINT DISTRICT 13 SCHEMATIC

Yup, this is what it looks like folks. Open the app and click on District 13 Schematic in the list at the bottom of the screen. You focus the camera at the CENTER of District 13 and when prompted you can move the camera back into a more comfortable position. It is best if it is completely flat and you are in a well lit room. Once you settle in, District 13 will come alive through your camera.

Keep your pets away because you know as soon as you set your physical schematic down on the floor that dog/cat will be on it faster than arrows to Coins. Or you know, someone being a dick and Godzilla-ing all over your shit.

Don't let your loved ones do this to you!!

You can swipe between three levels of character profiles, location labels, and the jawdropping cool 3D rooms. You can explore The Collective, Special Weapons,  Living Quarters, and The Courtyard. You may look silly spinning around in circles to see every square inch of a room, but its totally worth it.
