The man working behind Michael Bay’s official website, only known as ‘Nelson’, got the chance to go see the on-set Transformers 3 shooting in Chicago and posted up some photos. His report is as follows:
I arrived at the Chicago Michigan Ave. set on Friday, July 16th. I was greeted by Mike Case (Bay’s assistant) and was taken to Bay’s monitor tent which was in the middle of a war zone. Michael greeted and proceeded to ask some things about the site. He then took out his iPad and showed me animatics of some sequences. Holy moly. This movie is going to be huge!!! In my opinion, more epic than TF2 with the first time amazement of TF1. I wish I could tell you what I saw on the animatics, but I can’t.
Bay was filming a scene with Shia (Sam) & Rosie (Carly) in which they were hiding within a wrecked and flipped car. At around that time the temperature hit 102 degrees (including humidity index). It was so hot that Shia was sweating through his leather jacket and as was Rosie. Back to the scene… apparently the scene is one in which a Decepticon is hunting for them. As Bay filmed this, a cue from the score was played to add to the suspense…
…Later, I got to meet the rest of the cast: Shia, Rosie, Tyrese, and Josh.
I had the pleasure of talking to Shia for for about 30 minutes and with Tyrese and Josh for another 30 minutes. All these guys have an impressionable work ethic, are fun to talk to and down-to-earth people. And that goes for the rest of the crew. I many many nice and professional people that are working their hardest to make this movie successful and entertaining.
As the day came about, Bay, Shia, Tyrese & Josh all came to meet than fans that had been waiting since 7am to catch a glimpse down the street. They also were interviewed by CBS 2 TV in which Bay praised the city of Chicago.
As always, Bay left the best for last. Explosions and gunfire!!
That’s it for now. I will post a video of some of the activities later.
Checkout also the new gallery below for more on-set photos, which again show the Ferrari Transformer-bound and boats on fire, Bay, Tyrese, and more. As always give us your thoughts.
