Ian Bryce has once again posted on Don Murphy's boards, giving details of the crew involved with the production of the Transformers movie, as well as some other progress reports:
Start building sets on location in a week
Start building sets in LA in less than a month
ILM now starting to build our CG robots
Costume Designer - Deb Scott (Titanic)
Assistant Director - Simon Warnock (Lord of The Rings)
Stunt Coordinator - Kenny Bates (Pearl Harbor)
Cinematographer - Mitch Amundsen (Eight Below, lots of Bay films)
Seems like a pretty good pedigree to me. :)

Costume Designer - Deb Scott (Titanic)
How hard would it be to design blue jeans, tan shirt, yellow boots, and a yellow hard hat? :lol:

Well, there are the military uniforms that have to be done right, and costumes isn't so much of an issue of design for this movie per say, but one of responsibility in that someone has to make sure that all of the players have a costume to wear when the camera rolls.

I love movie news, even if its little minor stuff. It makes me happy because I'm reminded that the movie is still progressing. And what a nice line up so far.
military uniforms? key word uniform, its easy just buy a bunch of the same thing at a surplus store and a dress clothing store, there is not much difference in uniforms. Unless the US navy will be in movie as a prowd owner of an overstuffed seabag I can vouch that the navy has TO many uniforms (airforce has basicly 3 with varients, USN has 6 or more depending on rank, location, assignment, and job). Besides, do random mooks on the strret really need costums when there only real purpose is either for the Autobots to rescue/talk to or the Decepticons to enslave/step on?

ALL clothing in movies = "costumes".
That list simply rocks. :thumbs2: Good to see they're getting some talented people for it. :D

Movie costume design tends to be quite complex. As Nevermore said, all clothing you see in a movie, including what the nameless extras wear and military uniforms, are all designed by the costume design team. While sometimes a costume may be "off the rack", or bought in a store, costume designers tend to prefer building their own wardrobes, as characters, at least the major and minor ones, need several versions of a single costume, plus the costume designers know what kind of fabrics look best under certain lighting conditions, and if there's any stuntwork involved, then they have to build in flying harnesses or extra padding or flame retardant material or pockets for squib loads and whatnot.

When the "fake" footage came out, it was stated to be part of Lights and Magic "audition" footage to get the role of designing in the movie. Don Murphy has come out saying it's fake. But seeing LMI on the project regardless has me quite happy.

I'm sure Ian Bryce announced ILM were on board a couple of weeks before that fake test footage appeared - which probably inspired someone to slap their name on it.
So, it's been known about for a while, yeah, it was announced the same time as the main designer was announced as being Jeff Mann.

I've heard he was also the driver of the yellow SSR that did the 180 then backed up onto the car carrier in that Chevrolet commercial (which Michael Bay also directed).

Wouldn't it be funny if this ENTIRE movie project was a hoax to tease the trans-fan boys?
