Transformers 3 filming @ Lincoln Memorial | October 13, 2010 | Washington, DC

[ht4005]

i was in dc less than a month before this, great movie, better than the first two.

[fishcough1]

Terrorist plot to blow up the Lincoln Memorial! No wait, it's just Paramount.

And all this work so Megatron could rip Lincoln out of his seat in the Lincoln Memorial and sit in his place. In the movie, it happens so brazenly. Nice to see some care, respect and excitement went in to the actual filming of the panorama of shots they needed to blow up ol' Abe in CGI.

Sentinel, Optimus, Megatron and starscream was making for this scene

[volunteerz]

a lot of nosy people to cgi erase

[kurdi82]

[mothrabattra]

has anyone seen a red camaro in any sets? I read the wiki and it says that there's a red camaro transformer, there's more but I suggest everyone read for themselves.

[mymovievideos]

why do these shots take so long time to shoot?

[sixamsedna]

@mymovievideos

because it takes time to get something done right. 

[inr21sevier]

i would so of snag some type of set piece or equipment if i where there great vid hope there almost done its been forever i want that trailer/movie great vid cant wait. @sixamsedna

[sixamsedna]

@inr21sevier

they have enough filmed already to have a trailer ready, I'm pretty sure we're going to get one in December sometime, the first ever teaser for the first film hit the web at the end of December, I don't doubt if they release one for this at the same time either

[MRauTObt]

bad news.

3D WILL BE SHOT IN  3D AND CONVERTED, SO 50/50

[raymondleeleggs]

LOL at the expensive A/V Cables and gear just laying around on the sidewalk.

[sixamsedna]

@raymondleeleggs

I was surprised too when I saw that. They did however have one guy guarding the more expensive equipment such as the cases of light equipment that you see starting at 1:44 mark

[seankeilich]

[sixamsedna]

@AllenOneTV

i was wondering what you two were talking about there. Care to share? and who were the crew members? Light or just PA

[01mrsoptimusprime]

I was there on the 13th and seen Michael Bay and the set . This is so cool and well i have videos as well. love the video. Bonita Prime out.

[fotobymomo]

hahahaha that wasn't Shia!! The guy w/ the beard was some other guy. I was there on Monday and took pix of Megatron and the deceptacons (typo?) you can see the pix on my fb fan page. Just search FOTObyMomo

Then Tuesday I was there infront of the capitol and I was in 6 different spots doing vids. On my 5th spot, I was lucky enough to be standing when Shia decided to come up to all the fans. I videod that too and he shook my hand :) Too bad my wife was slow and wasn't near me :(

[missxbliss]

I was there last night, and i thought the guy in front of Michael Bay @6:33 was Shia too, but it was this guy in a suit with a pony tail... Sadly, I ended up taking about 20 shots of someone who isn't Shia... Shia had straight slicked back hair. I gave up after 2 hours of standing outside and went home.

My friends got to hug Shia when they went on Tuesday night. I guess he was in a better mood then :( I got about 80 shots of Shia doing push ups and gasping with Josh Duhamel.

[sixamsedna]

@missxbliss

yeah we thought it was Shia too, first of all because the preview monitor was so small it was easy to mistake that short guy with slicked back hair for Shia -- but he was also scruffy. Those guys in suits were Camera operators, I think - as you can see towards the end of the vid.

Shia and Josh came down there later, closer to midnight. But I was gone by then
