>> 🎬 Timeless Classics: Press Play Again - Kicking Off the *Good Movie Club* with Transformers! 🍿


Hello everybody,

Welcome back to your favorite blog about filmmaking and cinematography. Today, we are kicking off our new series – the 🎬Good Movie Club🍿. This club is obviously not about new, shallow movies with bad scripts that promote the erosion of values that have been presented to us repeatedly in recent years. It's about great movies from the past that were well made and fun to watch. More than deserving of a rewatch!

You know what sounds like an interesting job? Being a Production Assistant for good movies. I find the movie-making process fascinating. Of course, it depends on the project. If I had only carried one cable during the making of 'La La Land', I would have been very happy. What an amazing end result! 😃✨

Imagine, there was a 'La La Land' concert in London, an orchestra playing the soundtrack at the Royal Albert Hall! One time only. It was around Christmas and I was in Germany - so I missed it! Can you believe it?! I say 'La La Land' needs to become a musical. It needs a stage adaptation by experts who 1000% get it. And I need to buy the first ticket. 🎟️

While you are working on a movie, you can never be quite sure how good the final result will actually be. I sometimes think about that. It’s almost like a gamble for everyone involved, including the actors who signed up for it. Because even if the script is good, you don’t get to edit it and you will still be part of it, however it turns out.

To me, it is captivating to see how movies are made. I recently stumbled upon a 'Making of' video for the first and in my opinion best one in the 'Transformers' film series, which is unlisted on YouTube! So without this blog - you would have never found it. 😊 💁🏼‍♀️ Do you, by any chance, have two hours to spare? That’s how long this video is. Super interesting and action packed! 💥

  

  

Personally, I could have done without the military aspect, but it was included in the storyline too. Michael Bay was the director and it looks like he had a clear and grand vision for this movie that turned out really well. Even now, the visual effects are on another level. 'Transformers' was released in 2007.

We can also see Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox in their breakout roles. It’s like time travel, really. Also, the fact that so many scenes were filmed on a real set and not created on the computer, I think that’s the part that makes the whole process so exciting. It’s lively, energetic - a real team effort. Check it out below!
