New Transformers Movie Test Footage?

Professor Smooth · Post by **Professor Smooth** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:30 am

A video has appeared online. It is supposed to be test footage for the upcoming live-action Transformers movie from Dreamworks. I have no way of knowing if this is legit, but come on. How likely is it that something on the internet isn't exactly what it looks like? I mean, it's on the internet. It has to be true unless somebody has gone to the trouble of trying to, for lack of a better word, fool the general population. I'm sure that test footage from huge upcoming movies leaks out all the time and nobody gets upset.

I'm also sure that nobody has ever thought of saying something like what's written above with the intent of sounding sarcastic. Sarcasim and fraud on the internet? Nah!

Hilarious picture to follow.

There are at least two spoof script drafts out there, one of which was actually pretty good IMO.

Even if it is legit, lots can and probably will happen before release. Looks decent so far, though...

Pretty cool cgi. Except it seems a bit shady as to the origins of this.

Also... what in the bloody world is the kind of screen this was filmed off of?? What IS that frame around the sequence??

Perhaps my sarcasim was not dripping quite enough.

The people in the audience possibly don't know what lengths people've been going to since this thing was announced...

And if I see that Michael Smith footage passed off as test anim one more time...

There was this guy who drew incredibly good artwork and tried to pass them off as concept art for the movie (with Ratchet, Ravage, Spike, etc., you remember...) There ARE people who do this and then chuckle to themselves for fooling us. Shame on them!

Here's a version of my normal post with all sarcasim removed.

There's a video online. Supposedly, it shows some test special effects footage for the upcoming Transformers movie. It could be fake. People like to fake people out online. It is something that people go to incredible lengths to do.

Actually, I think that was his pitch, if it's the guy I'm thinking of. It was concept art, it just wasn't picked up...

I'd like to apologize in advance for dragging this completely off topic but:

Anybody remember the 'first' Episode 2 trailer? It spliced together footage from a whole bunch of different movies and set it to Star Wars music. My favorite parts were the assassin from 'Elizabeth' as a Sith Lord and the guys from 'Braveheart' running around with lightsabers.

My two cents *i know we already know its fake but*

first off it says ILM - which is Industrial Light and Magic, the special effects for the new TF:M are being done at Dreamworks. not ILM, which is generally associated to Lucasfilm for Star Wars.

Secondly, watch the guy, in the snd scene hes looking at the postion of where the TF head will be after its transformed. seriously, the guys at ILM know better, the man would pan his head up to watch the TF take on its new hieghts and proprtions.

lastly, the CGI is dodgey as [composite word including 'f*ck']
