Jaws movie

We all remember the old movie Jaws, and some of the younger generation remember Jaws not from the movie but perhaps from the attraction at Universal Studios. The thing we may not know is the many failures encountered by the film crew during the production of the movie.

The Orca boat used in Jaws

This is one of Steven Spielberg's earlier movies that proved to be more of a nightmare to make then anything else. There where 2 mechanical sharks made that where named by the film crew Bruce. However due to the fact that the sharks where used in salt water there where many mechanical problems during production.

Martha's Vineyard where filming took place

Not only where the sharks a problem but so was the boat Orca that was used in the film started to actually sink and take on water also during production. This proved to be quite a task and the crew nicknamed the film Flaws instead of Jaws. Nonetheless Steven Speilberg did pull through.

Bruce still does exist in Universal Studios, but has been stored for many years under the hot sun and has been showing its age.

Below is a video from the film crew.

Spider-man behind the scenes

Spider-man shooting began on January 8th 2001 in Culver City. Filming for the movie was in New York and California. The scene where Peter gets bit by the spider was filmed inside the National history museum in Los Angeles, California , shooting for the interior of Norman Osborn's home was at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, California, and shooting for the interior shots of the Daily Bugle was in Pacific Electricity Building also in California.

The Sony soundstages 27 and 29 where used for the complex scenes in Time Square where the Green Goblin and Spider-man fight.

The original costumes that where created for Spiderman where stolen during productions and Sony had put up a $25,000 reward for the return however they where never returned. The webbing that came from Spider-man was a computer generated one or also called CGI effect. During the scenes of the Green Goblin and Spider-man fighting in the air was done in separately with the two characters. Spider-man was actually filmed with a green screen where the Green Goblin was shot with a blue screen and then where combined later in film editing.

I decided to put in some videos of some of the bloopers from Spider-man.
