"Movie Scene, RUINED"!!!

Post by D.R.H. » Fri Feb 23, 2018 7:01 pm

I found this gem on LiveLeak.com. Anyone who has ever done even just a minute of re-enacting knows of the guy who ruins "your movie". Here is one that made me laugh soooper hard!

It will end up on the cutting room floor with a switch to a different camera shot. Same thing as what happens when a jet plane crosses the sky over Vikings or Gladiators....snip, snip.....bye, bye....

Probably lucky the biker didn't whack the Soldat in the face with a big bratwurst or something as he passed him.

:lol: It's the rude and unnecessary double- and triple-wide riding I can't tolerate! You want to ride your bike or socialize?

I experienced a similar story, sort of.

I was in NYC for the weekend recently, and we stayed down in the seaport district. If you're unfamiliar, it's on the Brooklyn side of Manhattan, along the East River, near the Brooklyn Bridge. An early riser, I was up at dawn walking around near the South Street museum. Across the street are some old ships, among them a gigantic three-masted sailing ship, the Wavertree, built by R. W. Leyland & Co of Liverpool entirely of wrought iron in Southampton, England, in 1885, the last wrought iron sailing ship still afloat in the world. It was saved and refurbished in 1968. It's gorgeous.

Anyway, I start walking over there and some guy is standing there giving me the universal sign for halt with both hands up and out and I can see that there's a film crew behind him shooting a scene for a movie, and that they're using some cool hoverboard thing for the cameraman. So I go around behind them to watch. The scene is pretty simple, involving a fin de siècle watchman wearing fin de siècle watchman costume walking back and forth along side the ship, expertly and flawlessly flipping a key or something, perhaps his watch, on the end of a chain, back and forth from his coat pocket to his hand, over and over again, with each three steps, as if he's done this a million times. The cameraman on the hoverboard is gliding along next to him. And a spotter is walking next to the hoverboarding cameraman.

They did several takes. A dog screwed one up, and sometimes the guy failed to flip the watch or set of keys correctly.

The thing is, the Seaport Museum, which owns the ship, has a very modern looking gangplank with OSHA-spec safety railings set up on the pier leading up to the ship. At the top of the gangplank is a huge fence, meant to prevent people from breaking in to the ship. And at the bottom, near the steps, there is a modern sign, with a big Seaport Museum logo, announcing tour boarding times and prices. It wasn't decked out in garishly colorful ballet tights, but it might as well have been. It wasn't period. And, it wasn't zippin' by in a split second.

I was wondering how they're going to pull this off enough to ask. "Editing" was the answer, but I have stupidly forgot the name of the movie!

You can see the actor, the cameraman, and the spotter approaching the gangplank in the pic below.

Digital editing is probably cheaper then actually removing those things. They used to wrap them in green plastic, but maybe that isn't needed anymore.

they can go on the digital picture and do the wrap and after that the software wipes out the image and substitutes the adjacent pixels! SLICK!
