    Forgive me but who is Nelson and shootforedit? Who is he that he gets to be taken backstage?

    Also he mentioned this : As Bay filmed this, a cue from the score was played to add to the suspense.

    Maybe he is using something from a previous score as the score is the LAST thing to get completed. The composer actually watches the movie to "be inspired" and while they record the score the scene that they are recording for plays in the room.

    Tek's day late and a dollar short story (or for transformers filming, 30 seconds late and 2 charged batteries short).

    So today was same stuff as yesterday except the moved the set more towards hotel 71 and there is a tiny tiny lower level alley with a smashed car prop thats just south on michigan east of the corner bakery. Well all of a sudden around 1030am i hear some kid yelling bumblebee! and all the autobots and race cars came driving along west on wacker towards the set. So i couldnt cross michigan, directly, i had to go south on michigan, west on wacker, north on michigan to get to them. Well by the time i got there they had allready parked and covered up most of the cars, minus the mercedes and bumblee who were int he front. I whip out my camera to get possibly the closest pics ever of the purple mercedes and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my cameras batteries were dead because i accidently left it on plugged to my USB port after loading all the pics from last night =( =( =(

    anyways i didnt see any shockwave head prop and it seemed to be the same army blow up gun fight stuff from yesterday. But then again the cars are actually covered and parked to the west of the set so im sure later today they will be used. hope someone is down there!

    I'm going down there after work tonight. I'll keep my camera handy, though I probably won't get any great shots like the close-ups of Einstein-bot.

    But if I see the Soundwave head, I'll whip out my sketchbook and try to draw my impression of what the head looks like. I attempted it yesterday with my sharpie marker, but it looks really rough.

    d00d hurry. I hear they are setting up for a huge action scene. Especially since they have the cars lined up (on wacker westbound to the east of michigan ave) next to the destruction set. GOGOGOGGOGOGO. Videos needed. I didnt want to sit around with my thumb up my ass for 4 hours until whats gonna happn soon so someone better be down there with a digi cam!

    bumblebee is parked in front of the corner bakery according to one person and another person said they are flipping a car over bumblebee in his sequence so gawd damn i wish i was still there!

    Is the video still up? I just tried to get it up and said it wasn't available. Thought I would ask. BTW, where is LastPrime at? Haven't heard from hir in awhile now. Makes me wonder if its Bay or Kruger now too. I honestly think the score that Nelson reported must be something we didn't get to hear on ROTF cause like that music that was posted on that video from the first weekend wasn't what was on the soundtrack but did sound like what I heard on ROTF since I just watched it recently on DVD.

    Hancock Building

    Is this for shooting or just for some sort of cast party? I walked by there this morning and saw nothing unusual. There are filming signs up about two blocks away on Pearson for July 20-23 but there was no equipment there either.

    I went by the set on Wacker and Ratchet and Bumblebee are parked right at Michigan and Wacker again, didn't see if the other vehicles were there as well.
