 		[QUESTION][TROUT]<--probably
fly by...
In the second commercial, in the very beginning- I didn't get something. If this is a strictly handheld cam P.O.V. movie- what's with the fly by view of the city, pre-destruction? That didn't look handheld at all.

Has anyone discussed this? I wouldn't be surprised- you're a smart bunch.

 		HUD lassoed MGP, tamed him, and saddled him around the city.

OMG, that's it! MGP is HUD's penis! What if HUD is a 3,000lb Sumo Wrestler? What if his penis has been enhanced by DSI?

which I was thinking the same thing, but still... that sends mixed messages to those of us who have been keeping up with this film for a while.

Then again, perhaps that commercial really wasn't for us. I mean, its not enough to have the ARG fans, but to reach out to other people as well.

 		It had been discussed a while back about how possibly the beginning and ending would have footage shot differently, since large professional cameras were seen on the set, its possibly part of that

You know I didn't think about that either.
Now that you mention that...
the part when Lily, Rob and Beth are in that destroyed building
does not look hand held neither.
o_O

That is unless Hud can fly. O_O

 		All of the new footage in the commercials and especially when i saw the preview before I Am Legend seemed very cleaned up than previously.Look at that scene from the trailer, when they just show the bombing and not them on the roof and compare it to that shot now, it looks a hella lot crisper and not hand held, so i definitely agree it doesnt look hand held, but that may be why

I'll agree on that one, but unless HUD's a licensed helecopter pilot, I don't understand why there's sky footage of the city before the attack, or even before night fall.

-_-
yeah, but Rob and Lily [I think] are in the copter with him...
I'm not sure you know what scene I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the part when the jets fly by and
the camera pans and you see Rob, Lily and Beth inside
what looks like a destroyed building.

before I make any more assumptions,
let me see if I can find a screen capture of the scene.

I couldn't post this sooner
because my pc froze.
-_-

Actually, you may be right.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=245IRLMKnZE
In this video of the production, you see a camera filming Rob and Beth, and when the rubble falls, Rob uses BOTH arms to shield Beth. You can't film yourself using both of your arms to shield a girl from falling rubble... unless it is an exterior camera, or there is a cameraman right in front of you.

I think they may be meshing the 2 filming methods together. I theorize that the movie will follow specifically the experience of the main group of kids, but it will not be limited to HUD's camera view. Who said it has to be like Blair Witch?
