That should definitely be put in my 'confessions of a Bond nerd' thread hahaha..priceless.
Or :
"Seems he's laying down on the job"....
Joke is on you, @bondjames. In that region of Haiti there are dust particles that lie feet above the ground, and required a heightened sweeping motion to get away. That extra is perfectly recreating the technique, you see.
Yep..we have all fallen for that one in the past,thinking we were clever,when in fact,as Brady says,they have included a genuine custom there.
That's probably the most famous Bond error haha
Everyone makes mistakes, my friend. Hearing Forster's commentary on it was really enlightening, as the scene had already been shot before a local came up to him and said, in a approximation of the translation, "That man is sweeping wrong." Being the dedicated artist he is, Forster had everyone move back into their places and do the whole thing again, this time with the extra sweeping the right way. That's what I call movie magic.
I would love to see that hahaha...
Just be sure to wear proper eye protection, as this kind of dust can be a nasty thing to brush around.
Yes, but as with the broom you have to lift the vacuum up off the floor to suck the dust away, as it will still be at the same height as it would when sweeping it away.
I wonder what the guy was thinking as he was doing this. Time for BondCapCon!
He was thinking: "Easy paycheck."
For Bambi and Thumper the worst thing was I knew there was a Bambi movie. It's the Thumper bit that threw me off: I didn't know the name of that stupid rabbit.
a professional stunt brush. As none was available on the day
of shooting, they luckily hired a Shakespearian trained Brush.
TND, and had Hugh Bonneville in mind as the lord of the house.
“One other interesting twist that happened doing a shot like this, especially with a thousand or so extras, is that you can’t get a perfect take where every extra does exactly what you want every time, so we removed people’s faces by putting masks on them because they were looking at the camera too much, or re-angling their eyes or certain extras would try to pop up in scenes again and again, so we did a lot of changing their clothes and swapping out their faces.“
As a dedicated Bond geek, I decided to do some digging and see if I could find the CGI mask somewhere. And then I found the person responsible for trying to ruin the shot. :D
Here's the first shot of her, without the mask.
And then, the second shot with the CGI mask gently added by the ILM guys.
I've never noticed this before.
How clever they are to do this,they must have to go through every second of footage to make sure nobody is ruining the scene.
fascinating stuff !!
But the editor still made some visible mistakes. There is one moment when a girl (center frame) wants to step forward, but Craig starts moving ahead and so she stops in order to avoid colliding. Saw this the first time I watched SP and I smirk with each rewatch. So easy to cut out too.
