Another On Set Book from SPECTRE

welshboy78

Didn't hear about this one? Anybody else?


https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anderson-Low-James-Bonds-Spectre/dp/3775741984?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&tag=mi6thehomeofj-21

British photographers Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low have created a highly original art project based on the brilliant artifice of the spectacular sets from the latest James Bond movie, "Spectre." Shooting entirely at Pinewood Studios in UK, the artist duo highlights a head-on collision of fantasy and reality by photographing the sets' massive scale and extraordinary detail.
Allowing the bare soundstage to intrude on the images would normally shatter the illusion of the sets. In this case, however, it has the reverse effect and enhances the sense of illusion, artifice and wonder. Through a poetic and painterly eye, the beautifully designed and magnificently photographed images bring to life these detailed and massive tableaux, creating a poetry and narrative fantasy that mirrors the movie. With a foreword by "Spectre" director Sam Mendes, this book represents a unique study in movie-making and constructed narrative in photography.

Wow, I didn't realise the interior Palazzo/SPECTRE meeting scene was filmed at Pinewood - Incredible!

Amazing detail in those sets

That surprised me, too. Although, you think it may have been cheaper to find a suitable location to film rather than building the set.

welshboy78

Thats the first thing I thought too. Crazy money spent on this film

Westward_Drift

Yeah. The largest practical explosion ever done for a film and it didn't look any better or more impressive than a decently done miniature.

I was more impressed by the Skyfall Lodge explosion

So Mr White uses the Italian Explorer cases over Pelican ones,

and the tactical backpack on the left (under the bench) looks like a Maxpedition Falcon

Certainly looks like it... If so did she make shirts or purchase them, or purchase extra fabric for mods

Did you see the film in IMAX? Looked lovely there.

So now we've got two 'making-of' books on Spectre, all we need are some decent - and longer - making-of videos!

+1!

Got the book today, very nice quality, not much there for us prop makers but nice nonetheless. Who knew the Westminster Bridge scenes with Blofeld's chopper were full interior sets with backdrops not blue screen. Did feel myself wishing there was more content in terms of length but is a nice compliment coffee table book to the Taschen. {[]

Dmz blow up in DAD or the arms bazar in the TND pts were better IMO.

My mate made the chopper interior for that, apparently....

Thought you'd know it was all interior GM, but I guess that when we're fooled then the crew did their job right.

Shame legoland had to go

welshboy78

I remember seeing the Jonathan Woss SPECTRE special at pinewood and thinking that monster set (all enclosed) was the Westminister bridge for some reason (cant remember why I thought that and still not sure if that was actually it)

minigeff

The 'leaning lazenby' lampposts perhaps?

welshboy78

That was probably it if that was the case (xmas erased my memory so need to rewatch) :007)

I believe the JR interview was filmed on the Rome meeting room set, the roof where Bond escapes to be more precise.
