More Princeton Images June 24th, 2008

Bibliocone has posted some shots of a strange masked man getting into the back of the Saturn, coinciding with some in-car yelling:

Just Jared have posted a set of pictures showing both Shia LaBoeuf and Megan Fox on set at Princeton:

Princeton images and video June 23rd, 2008

Yesterday filming began at Princeton. Scott has provided this set report:

I work in Princeton and just watched the TF2 crew crash a silver Saturn Astra into the installed lamppost on the corner of Washington Road and William Street around 2 p.m. today. Before the crash itself they ran a few “test crashes,” where the stunt driver screeched to a halt a foot or two before hitting the post, with the camera (on a boom) following the action from above. The actual crash knocked the ground-level cover off the post and ripped off the car’s front bumper. After the crash the driver backed up slightly, then drove forward again for a few feet with the bumper under the front wheels, then stopped, opened the driver’s side door, and fell to the ground. After the shot was over, the driver put the bumper in the car’s backseat and drove the car down Washington Road (headed south), and as it passed me I could see that the front windshield had a hole the size of a baseball in it (with the appropriate spider webbing pattern in the surrounding glass). I’m not sure if that was there before the crash or not (I was about two blocks away from the crash itself). According to one of the PA’s the next shot won’t happen until tonight, though she didn’t say where.

Bumblebee, Trax and Beat racing on Front Street June 22nd, 2008

We saw the first pictures of the Chevy Trax during the filming on Front Street a couple of days ago, but now we have some great video of them all in action, racing down the street at high speed thanks to shiganamichick44:

Skippety Skip go Megan, Shia and Ramon June 22nd, 2008

These videos from EfraineQuinones firstly show the trio of autobots, Bumblebee, Beat and Trax briefly in action – proving they can corner at slow speeds in new synchronized formation. Ramon, Shia and Megan exit and head into the shop, before coming back out and gleefully skipping down the road.

Pictures from Eastern State Penitentiary June 21st, 2008

Looks like Shia LaBoeuf, Megan Fox, Bumblebee, the Chevy Beat and the Chevy Trax turned up for filming at the Eastern State Penitentiary.

VDG was on hand to get images of the crew and automobiles turning up, even getting close enough to capture a shot of the rims on the Chevy Trax – showing a very nice Autobot logo in the center of the hub cap!

Faded Silver Screen were also on location to capture the vehicles coming and going on Fairmount Avenue:



EnergonKid
has also given an account of the preparations for filming which include large blast shields:

I couldn’t get inside the prison, or get any decent pictures but I watched them unload trucks for a while. They were taking in lexan blast shields they put cameras behind when there is an explosion or sparks nearby. It seemed like an awful lot of support trucks. Tons of lighting and rigging. I would bet there will be some effect/pyrotechnics taking place, considering they’ve been prepping this for three days and the scope of the stuff they are taking in.

Lorenztom has also got a couple more shots of the Paris set at City Hall:

Sam’s fleeing parents and french explosions June 20th, 2008

City Hall in Philadelphia is mocked up to look like Ecole Militaire in Paris for filming which took place yesterday. The setting for the scene is a holiday for Sam Witwicky’s parents – Kevin Dunn and Julie White.

Video and pictures from Mia show Bumblebee, the green Chevy Beat and red Chevy Trax in the area as well as a small explosion and panic in the square. If you scroll down you can see what seems to be an extension of this, although taking place at night, of continued mayhem and running – this time by Sam’s parents, who may or may not have been in the square at the time of the explosion:

PhillyFilmGirl also managed to get some candid footage of Sam’s parents in an alleyway running away from an explosion, surely with a robot CG’d in later amidst the flashing blue lights. The other video shows them running down the alley with a teeny “Smart Car” hastily flying past them – most likely fleeing from the same thing, rather than being a robot.

New Chevy Trax in Front Street filming June 20th, 2008

On Wednesday the vehicles of Transformers 2 were out and about in a chase scene on Front Street. Jalopnik were on hand to snap a couple of shots, showing Bumblebee either chasing, being chased by or leading the green Chevy Beat car we’d seen at Bethlehem, PA and under wraps in other locations.

They also got the first picture of a new Autobot, a red Chevy Trax – (possibly the twin of the Chevy Beat?):

It is also rumored that the thrid of the new Chevy trio may turn up – the Chevy Groove:
