Whether or not this is a productive use of my *entire* day depends on your definition of 'productive'. I'm happy not only because I figured out how to do something technical I've never done before, but now I have pictures to show to the nephew and end the Tone of Doubt that had been creeping in when talking about the movie and me being in it with the robots!
If you think the images below are photoshopped, follow these instructions to see for yourself. The only photoshoppery below are the captions I layered onto the pictures.
From the top, shall we?
1. Kid is running down the street with the All Spark. Gets bounced off the Escalade "driven" by the brunettes. Meanwhile, I am clutching onto the pole for dear life.
2. Kid goes up into the air and back down again. Behind him I'm up and off (after first falling on my ass).
3. Death! 40 feet tall! Run!!
4. If you stop running Alpha 1 might have you killed!!!
Thus ends my Two Seconds Of Glory In The Transformers Movie! Now I'm going through trying to spot Kris & Joe. They were on set far longer than I. They've got to be visible somewhere.
Bonus! The move goes so fast there's a whole bunch of stuff you can't see on screen in the theater or even at home with a high-quality dvd player. Among items you spot only when going frame by frame on the computer:
The above shows up at 2:02:10, and you can see the guy holding the camera, too. He's wearing a blue shirt. I think his hair is brown, but even at frame-by-frame it's hard to tell. Here! Judge for yourself!
And we'll end with two of my favorite pictures taken during those two days of fleeing invisible robots.
Okay. Back to the Golliwogg thing. Aiming to have that up by mid-week.
