Stranger Things is famous for its big monsters, heavy effects and giant sets. However, a recent video shared by the X account, Internet Hall of Fame, showed a challenge no one expected. It was not a creature from the Upside Down. It was simply Mike Wheeler on a bicycle. And the effort that went into those few seconds has surprised the entire fandom.

How Mike’s Bicycle Scene Became A Complicated Task

The video reveals that Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike, did not know how to ride a bicycle during the time they had to shoot the scene. What initially seemed like a minor issue turned into a major technical problem for the team. They needed Mike to look confident while riding, so they had to create the moment using a different method.

A stunt rider was hired to perform the body movements. The rider was filmed in front of a green screen while doing the cycling actions. After shooting this part, the team used software to track every movement. They then created a digital version of the rider’s body. Mike’s head was added later by cropping it from other footage and matching it to the animated body.
