Here's a fun photo I came across the other day that was taken by an Artist/Photographer named Christopher Moloney. His idea was to get a photo of a famous scene from a movie, print it out, and then go to the actual real-life location where that scene was shot, and match-up the pieces. The idea is not completely original, as this has been done before, but it's always really fun to see and Christopher does a pretty good job.
The example up above is BANE from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie when he paid a visit to Wall Street, but if you click this LINK you can see many many more. Some of my other favorites are "The Ghostbusters" and "Die Hard: With a Vengeance".
Back in the late 1980's I had a friend named John who was an extremely serious Video Photographer. In fact, he went on to work on many TV Commercials & even some Hollywood films. The reason I bring him up is that he always reminds me of Cinefex Magazine. He used to totally worship this publication like a Religion, ha! It's a pretty unique magazine in the way that it covers Camera Techniques, Special Effects, Film Specs, Lighting, Sound eFX, etc... I mean it, this isn't one of those mags that talk about stupid celebrity gossip, it's a serious look at the real behind-the-scenes type stuff about how they REALLY make movies.
Anyways, I wanted to send a shout-out to my friend John and let him know that the latest issue of Cinefex #131 covers everything about THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie. It also has some in-depth articles on the making of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, TOTAL RECALL, and ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER. This new issue is in stores now or you can order it online from their official website, just CLICK HERE!
