Donating YT 30K Club Member | Saw Transformers 3 being filmed today My Daughter and I took the train downtown Chicago today and we came across them filming the Transformers 3 movie. We saw Shia LaBouf and Josh Duhmal and they were shooting an action scene. We watched for about an hour before moving on. It was pretty cool. I guess I will have to go see it when it comes out. Here's some pictures

| That's so cool! They just let you walk by it? I've seen so many movies with streets I recognize but they do a lot of filming at night. It would be cool to watch like you did.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Yea they kept us behind barricades but we were really close. It's amazing how long it takes to film 10 seconds of a scene.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Quote:
back in the days I worked for an actor (Charlie Haid) who was Henry Wrinklers best friend and between them I had a 'pass' to Universal Studio's building where they hosted the 'sets' for many tv shows and man was it BORING to watch a 10 second shoot (LOTS of standing around time and re-do's)...Interesting but still - boring It pretty much turned me off tv for a long time because all I did was remember all the work for simple scenes to make the final cut. I remember one show (that Charlie was working on) and another actor was susposed to be chewing out his 'cops' but his hair kept moving - they'd stop -hair people would rush in ....do a comb over then they'd retake. I thought the hair flying only added to the scene. That went on for over an hour before I gave up for something more interesting Actors also have readers who whisper lines to them when doing tv - film work is very very precise and it involves so many retakes to get it right - so what WE see never really is what actually went on in the original filming. oh and I also saw Ego issues and tempers when stopping into different 'sets' -I was in shock that once the camers were off how a few acted. (temper tantrums) One in particular was someone who I always remembered as hot and a great actor and at first I was in awe to be watching him film but - once the cameras were off WOW -he was a jerk ! and like I said I didn't watch tv for a long time because I saw firsthand all it takes to get a scene into a final. Film Editors have probably a more important job than the actual actors - The cool thing was the 'fake' sets DO look like real locations | |

I lived in Chicago during the '80s and '90s, and people would often share their stories of watching the filming of "The Blues Brothers," which included a tank ripping up streets in the Loop. I think Batman and now Transformers have outdone the Blues Brothers. | |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | They were filming on Wacker and Wabash. Then they said they were going to be moving to Trump Tower in about an hour but we didn't go.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | VERY he was kind, well mannered and super laid back - plus - he's extremely intelligent. Totally different than his 'Fonz' personna....complete opposite of what you'd expect if you grew up watching that show 'Happy Days'

| Pirates of the Caribbean is being filmed in Hawaii now, and yesterday I saw the ship "Black Pearl" in Honolulu. Didn't get close to filming site though, but wanted to share what I thought was a hilarious casting call for extras recently “Looking for authentic-looking scavenger-types … ages 18 to 60s, all ethnicities, especially extreme character types — thin, tall, short, emaciated, odd features, huge nose, eyes, ears, lazy eye, grizzled and wrinkled faces, odd body types, missing limbs, teeth etc.” That must have been interesting.
