No, they're doing it horizontally. Pierce is standing on his tippy toes. Sean is laying flat on his back. Presumably there's a plank or bit of fibreglass shaped to his back for him to lay on.
Same here (with thanks to Thunderballs as ever):
(That one seems to be flipped for some reason!)
Those must've been some heavy duty ladders not to be bending under the actors! But it does make it much safer to do, plus not as tiring for them to repeat for different takes.
Yeah there you go: the camera is just pointing horizontally, it's the background which is the wrong way around.
The funny thing is if you look at the "No, for me" reverse close up on Pierce, from the look of the telescope behind him he's actually holding Alec pretty much horizontally! :D
This is the case. And as you said, Bean falls "down" by merely falling backward, as the bit he's attached to just moves on a track to give the appearance of him falling to the ground. Masterful stuff.
Not at all. They looked bad back then.
To you they did. That effect still holds up for me, and obviously for plenty of others.
It doesn't matter now. It's an old movie.
Yes, it really is. Great to see how it was done. It's certainly a lot better than the old back or front projection method.
Sadly we come to the end of the line for GoldenEye.
Tomorrow we move onto the 18th film, Tomorrow Never Dies.
It truly is movie magic. I will be watching Goldeneye some time this weekend, the first time since my last complete Bond Marathon that must be going on three or four years(?).
Seeing the BTS footage shows a production team at the top of their game. Very impressive and I'm always in awe of these great and talented people...
Love it!
Tomorrow Never Dies
yeah, the keys ;)
Not unlike…
And probably my go-to feel-good Bond film, always.
And the best "third Dalton movie we've never had".
BTW, is it safe to assume we have high quality BTS pictures from the early films, and only low quality, small pics from Pierce's. That's a shame.
