Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a science fiction/action escapade motion picture. It is due for release in the UK on June 19 and in the US on June 24. Transformers fans are fanatically waiting for the motion picture to be released so they can discover the prone thrills out of watching the motion picture.

When making a science fiction/action packed film, a number of techniques are used by the filming team to see that they have captured each and every view in relation to the requirements. The setting up of the set, the lighting, the recreation and the action has to be captured accurately. This is the job of the film director – to visualise how each scene is to be filmed.

Now, we all make out that the Transformers 2 motion picture is about humans and robots. The robots (who are the Autobots and the Decipticons) are battling with each other for control of a human. The robots are not just robots that are walking or flying around. They can alter their bodies. A blameless-looking car becomes a walking, combating machine. A fighter jet changes into a tank. Abundant construction vehicles join together to form a massive robot.

Firstly, to demonstrate these conversions and to put them in the necessary scenes with the accurate dimensions requires definite filming techniques to be used. Secondly, a lot depends on the cameraman who films a shot. The activities of a camera, zooming in and out, all these particular skills are required by a cameraman. The expressions of the actors, actresses and the robots have to be captured correctly to be shown and to maximise effects.

Since the arrival of computer graphics and computer recreation, they have now become a most important part of film making. Simulating the movement of a robot is now done with the aid of computer animations. Hasbro, the well-known toy makers, helped the filming team in making the robots. Hasbro has a line of Transformers toys, among other science fiction series toys. So for showing the robots transforming from one form to another, Hasbro’s services were required.

Some scenes of the movie have been shot on location in Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries. The pyramids of Egypt are filmed in the movie, and the major battle takes place over there. The filming unit used a 50 foot crane to take some shots of the pyramids. Then a mock-up of the pyramids was created on a set, and shots of a robot tearing apart a pyramid in search of a hidden temple within it were shot on the sets.

The major method that was used in the filming of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was putting the robots in size with the scene. Scaled down adaptations of the robots were made and then filmed independently. They were then super forced on the backdrop scenes. Their movements and looks were computer simulated. Their sizes corresponding to the humans were also made using computer simulation.

There are a range of systems that are used by movie-makers to capture shots. Once filmed, they are edited, watched and quiet often retaken. The director examines each sketch in the minute point, to make assured the entire thing blends into scale. Making an action-packed motion picture requires a very skilled filming crew.
