Even a few <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/spider-man_3/">made the trailer</a>. Scroll down for many detailed photos of the stunts and crashes of this second unit in action. Here are stills from the film, which include downtown Cleveland:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/spider-man_3/trailer1_medium.html"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHH2a8iSTP2aUfQOFpY9W2oxRjoX83_WsUP9PN9Vk9-teX8H-0d2yexjnhR0rZlmmpvIYAS0kgGuaqwJba3-oBDDCfDNSMWVhqEaMoo-9LALieTq9wSd2UF8dFEnZQp8AROhBE/s320/spidermancleveland.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039727457292473378" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/spider-man_3/trailer1_medium.html"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_vYC4NuW9R9e8AP77nkgIIq1hjEBuIa1Cx-4J77qICl18Xx9_xhwdc_UpF7z_ZJdMPTmZGz4vU_z7_xqTwrkA4WE8oHMNcoGS7e-RudqFT1kqH0xSUUhDwdB5KlmL8yZyXSa/s320/spidermancleveland2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039727461587440690" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Official Site: <a href="http://spiderman.sonypictures.com/index.php">http://spiderman.sonypictures.com/index.php</a><br />Credits and Info: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413300/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413300/</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Joshua-Gerken/745570892">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/joshgerken">LinkedIn</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/niceredshorts/">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.myspace.com/niceredshorts/">MySpace</a> | <a href="http://www.localfoodcleveland.org/profile/JoshuaGerken">Local Food Cleveland (Ning)</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1161092977365253962006-10-17T09:45:00.002-04:002009-03-25T17:45:54.069-04:00Vehicle Stunts & Crash VideoOn location on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, the second unit film crew gets great crash and chase scenes with an armored truck that's being driven by the villain in this new movie, Sandman, which crashes into several parked cars. <br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VDc_IF_uCdg"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VDc_IF_uCdg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />Here's a video including the good wrecks. The Armored car did most of the crashing action. There were film trucks following and trailing the hero truck. A motorcycle with the camera mounted on the front or the back was also often involved. The directors and photographers followed the truck in a large SUV containing the video feed monitors. The action happened directly across the street from my office windows on the 2nd floor.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1149184908604119002006-06-01T13:52:00.000-04:002006-07-16T11:09:27.236-04:00Spider-Man and Sand Man PoseSpider-Man went on top of a ladder to pose for some shots. I think it was for light reference for the computer-generated Spider-Man. Then the stunt-actor for Sand Man went on the top of the armored truck that they had been filming all day. He was just standing there for the camera for a while. Then he took a call on his cell phone.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3143.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3143.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3144.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3144.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3148.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3148.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3146.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3146.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3131.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3131.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3129.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3129.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3118.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3118.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3121.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3121.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3130.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3130.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3123.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3123.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146676434660432382006-05-03T13:07:00.000-04:002006-05-03T13:25:26.896-04:00Spidey Signs AutographsAfter he did key poses on the ladder and on top of the truck, he waved to the gathering crowd and did an amazing standing backflip. (I just caught him landing it in the photo below.) This stunt Spider-Man is far more like the comic book character than than Tobey Maguire ever will be. <br /><br />He proceded to shake kids' hands, sign autographs and pose for photos with people. He spent a bunch of time with the kids whose parents had brought them down to the set. This lasted about 40 minutes. (After about 10 minutes of work.) He was very cool and talked with everyone who addressed him. When he had to leave he yelled, "We love Cleveland!"<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3170.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3170.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3171.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3171.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3174.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3174.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3176.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3176.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3182.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3182.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3191.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3191.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3193.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3193.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3199.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3199.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3200.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3200.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3212.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3212.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3221.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3221.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3223.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3223.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3234.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3234.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3235.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3235.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3238.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF3238.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146674741310790452006-05-03T12:25:00.000-04:002006-05-03T13:06:43.363-04:00Spider-Man for ReferenceThis scene features the armored car flying down the street. The film truck has a huge jib arm mounted on the back that extends about 80 feet in front of the truck. It swings way up in the air while filming the top of the truck in front of it. Both were flying up and down the street with the extras on the sidewalk and the drivers creating the traffic on the road.<br /><br />Then the stunt actor for Spider-Man came out in costume and did some key poses on a ladder and then on top of the truck. They didn't film him on the moving truck, he only came out and posed for about 10 minutes. I think it might be for reference for the visual effects to be digitally added in post-production. They were taking pictures of the actor in costume in the same light as they had filmed all day. That way the computer generated effects will match the live action scene filmed on location.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF3115.jpg"><img style="float:left;

The spider-man costume is very cool looking up close. There are no seams at all. No idea how he gets into that thing. Clearly, they spent lots of time and money on this wardrobe. Thanks again for these great shots, Mikey.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1810.1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1810.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1809.1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1809.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1808.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1808.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1812.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1812.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146229596021203322006-04-28T08:55:00.000-04:002006-05-03T11:30:56.833-04:00Fans on Set Location for New Spider-Man MovieHere are some shots of Spider-Man fans in costume on the set location in the theater district in Cleveland. The real stunt actor for the movie was posing with a kid (also in costume, not official wardrobe) after blocking some shots. He was briefly on set in front of the cameras for the photographers to pull focus and to compose the frame where the final Spider-Man will end up in the shot. Perhaps they will add computer-generated characters into these scenes. They shipped in some Los Angeles Times for the set, or maybe for the crew to read. Thanks Mikey for the photos.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1764.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1764.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1685.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1685.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1687.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1687.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1744.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1744.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1748.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1748.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1802.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1802.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1806.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1806.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF1803.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF1803.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146164395011228322006-04-27T14:54:00.000-04:002006-05-03T13:29:07.393-04:00Car Launch ShotThey were spinning the taurus in the air again today with a huge crane parked on E. 12th Street. The film truck and motorcycle were closely following the armored truck as it passed by the spinning car. The film cameras were mounted on a boom extended from the truck and actually passed underneath the spinning car. This whole scene will probably be on screen for less than 3 seconds. These are quick action sequence shots.<br /><br />The stunt actor for Spider-Man came out for about 5 minutes to block out the scene. They often will bring out a stand-in of similar size to the real actor in order to get the cameras focused. This also also the director and director of photography to compose the frame. In the case of the Spider-Man movies, it may be helpful to get a placement and lighting (shading) reference for the movie's digital effects crew as they add the digital characters to the scene. The first two movies had lots of fully digital 3-D animations of the Spider-Man character. I hope they get the digital visual effects looking better for this film. I thought the Lord of the Rings / Narnia digital FX by Weta were far superior to the Spider-Man films. Even the ILM effects in the Star Wars movies was not as good as the LOTR stuff. Peter Jackson seems to be setting the bar.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2817.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2817.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2813_1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2813_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2801.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2801.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2816.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2816.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2805.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2805.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2798.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2798.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2813.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2813.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2814.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2814.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146160647872758312006-04-27T13:38:00.000-04:002006-05-03T10:45:44.916-04:00Flying TaurusThe taurus that has been rammed with the armored car, has been re-set and smashed and re-set and smashed again. Then, it's hoisted up with a crane, and spun around quickly in the air. The camera truck then speeds past it. Spider-man stunt actor (not in costume) was brought in to block where the real spidey will appear. It looks like the car might be flying over him as he does that bend over backward move. They have him, or someone of similar size, stand in where the real actor (or in this case, perhaps a digitally created character) would be in front of the camera. This allows the film's director and photographer to compose the frame and pull focus, etc.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2772.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2772.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2773.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2773.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2774.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2774.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2777.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2777.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2775.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2775.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2783.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2783.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2785.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2785.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2786.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2786.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2782.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2782.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146155358122531742006-04-27T12:12:00.000-04:002006-05-03T11:46:15.853-04:00Blue Station Wagon SceneThis is a set up and wreck of an old blue station wagon. There was two of these on the set and they crash them both several times. Supposedly Sam Raimi uses this certain car in all his films. The armored truck driven by Sandman (the nemesis in spider-man 3) hits the taurus which runs into the blue station wagon. They had film cameras mounted on the green car, the station wagon, the armored truck and in the road. The film truck had a few cameras on it. They also had a Ducatti motorcycle with a rig that could shoot with a film camera mounted on the front or on the back. They used this weaving in and out of traffic as well as down the sidewalk for the reverse angle of the action in the road. It was on a remote swivel-head device. There was a suburban where the director and photographer could control the cameras and watch the action with remote video feeds, to be sure they were getting the shots they needed.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2752.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2752.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2755.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2755.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2763.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2763.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCN0276.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCN0276.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCN0271.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCN0271.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2764.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2764.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2771.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2771.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2759.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2759.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146072776742268882006-04-26T13:11:00.000-04:002006-05-03T13:00:41.960-04:00Manhattan Safe Chase SceneHere's the first big crash scene being filmed. An armored truck rams into some parked cars. Spider-Man's archenemy Flint Marko / Sandman, is apparently driving the truck. So the driver is covered in material that looks like a pile of sand. There were serveral film cameras set up on the film truck and the motorcycle was set up on the sidewalk to get the reverse angle. The crash made a very loud noise, even from inside our office accross the street. It got lots of applause, and attracted quite a crowd.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2726.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2726.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2728.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2728.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2733.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2733.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2712.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2712.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/1600/DSCF2734.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6278/1392/320/DSCF2734.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27035242.post-1146070530088756872006-04-26T12:34:00.000-04:002006-05-04T10:22:18.033-04:00Stunt Spider-Man on Hover Board ThingThis is the stunt spider-man on the back of the camera truck. Driving up and down Euclid Avenue right outside my office in Cleveland. It was a bit chilly that morning and the Spider-Man costume doesn't appear to be insulated very well. The stunt actor was usually wearing a robe that swimmers wear to keep warm on the set. It kept that amazing wardrobe protected and out of plain sight. During these shots, he was sort of riding this plywood like a surfboard or a skateboard as it was dragged behind the film truck with several cameras filming the whole scene. Spider-Man was twisting his torso from one side to the other very quickly.
