Special Effects, Music & Filming Of Transformers 2

By Michael Nielsen

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be released in the UK on June 19, 2009. All the transformers fans are anxiously waiting for its release. Well, it will probably be a smash hit as more money has been poured into it. The fans expect more action, more special effects and of course good music. Well they are going to get their fill with Transformers 2. There, favorite robots will regain their strengths and form thanks to the inevitable 'Allspark'. A lot of new Transformers will be making their debut.

The director and executive producer want no prologue. They have confirmed that Transformers 2 pull more crowds to the cinemas then Transformers. You can only like the greater than life effects of an action filled, science fiction movie in a cinema hall. Not on a home theatre system, notwithstanding how superior it is.

To make the picture realistic, the group of Transformers 2 employed Hasbro who are the makers of the Transformers toy line to assist in making the Transformers and to help in the special effects of the transformation in Transformers 2.

Computer graphics have been kept to a minimum and that's why the film crew has flown to the Middle East to shoot the film at real locations. The crew spent three days in Egypt filming the pyramids and Middle East countries air forces were used to lend authenticity to the movie.

The Howard Hughes Studio was used to film a number of scenes of the movie. General motors provided some of the Transformers 2 cars and some of the cars were built by the filming crew themselves. A lot of imagination and hard work has gone into the making of Transformers 2 and it's definitely not a disappointing sequel, as there is another sequel planned after this. To add to the special effects many close-ups have been shot of the facial and body expressions of the Transformers.

Steve Jablonsky has made a come back to Transformers 2 to create the music. He has done an exceptional job, as creating music for a science fiction movie is by no means simple and particularly if it engages extra-terrestrial robots. Filming a science fiction movie can be simple if you use computer graphics or it can be extremely hard if you use genuine live scenes and sets.

Transformers 2 promises to be an outstanding tale that will unfold soon, and like any Steven Spielberg film it promises not to be a disappointment. Therefore, for all Transformers fans, Transformers 2 promises to be a treat and that is something it will be. Transformers fans will not be disappointed and all the myths will be dispelled once the movie is released.

So if you are a Transformers supporter, Transformers 2 will not be a distress for you. The filming, editing and special effects have been very well combined as has been the music. The producers and director are renowned masters at producing these science fiction movies. They have offered all their vigour in producing a smash hit movie. - 23806

Who Is Going To Win The War In Transformers 2?

By Michael Nielsen

The traditional theme of the battle between good and evil continues in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In the previous version Transformers 2007, the fight between the two opposed forces was customarily won by the good. The Autobots and the Humans are performing the positive part, while, the evil manifestations are the Decepticons, in both parts.

The same battle continues in the continuation; Transformers 2. In this part, the target to accomplish for the Decepticons is different, yet the intention is the same that is triumph. In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the Decepticons comes after Sam Witwicky. The movie is characterised by interest provoking action scenes capturing the viewers' attention for the entire duration of the movie.

The fighting scenes generate anxiety and excitement. Every character plays its role to the level of excellence. The film shows a constant struggle between the forces of good and evil. The evil forces struggle to recover what they had lost in the previous version of the Transformers.

In the quest of good and evil, the Decepticons cause a lot of death and destruction to the earth, humans and Autobots. The Autobots in the battles with the ferocious and fierce Decepticons give a good account of themselves. Where as the Decepticons are willing to go to any extent to achieve victory over the Autobots

Sam and his human associates including his girlfriend Mikaela, Leo Spitz, Sam's roommate, and Captain William Lennox, all struggle jointly against Decepticons. They assist the Autobots, and the Autobots assist them, and together they wage a vicious fight against the evil.

The ultimate fight has been filmed in Egypt, in Giza Pyramid Complex. There the movie shows the pre pyramid period. We can see vehicles as Decepticons which look like our today vehicles. The place is marked with the rule of death and fear, 'all our heroes end up there as a result of the 'Master Plan' of the Decepticons' is the prevailing account of the setting.

In this part, we see the resurrection of the evil forces. Megatron resurrects with the help of Constructions, while he was killed in the previous part. This is a symbol that the fight between evil and good is endless, and it continues in one shape or the other. Both the forces are in constant clash with each other and destroy one or both.

Megatron wishes to get the information concerning the Energon on Earth to become godly power. In the last part, Sam used Allspark, which was absorbed in Megatron's chest, and killed him. Unfortunately his revivification proves that he has developed into more dominant than before due to the Allspark absorbed in his chest.

We also see some shifting of characters, Jetfire shifts to be an Autobot, whereas formerly, he was a Decepticon. These hyperactive robots make the best combat machines and the spectator wishes to see more and more of the highly energetic action. The Scorponok can hide under the sand, but can't transform, acting as another deadly weapon. With all the forces put to work, the outcome of the combat between good and evil is not hard to perceive. In the end, we see the good Autobots and Humans winning over the evil forces. - 23806

Facts With Reference To The Transformers 2 Character Megatron

By Michael Nielsen

Michael Bay mischievously hid the fact from us that Megatron was going to be a part of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Now that the fact has been disclosed, people are quite happy to know that they are actually going to see their favourite character in the upcoming film. People are gossiping around the world about how it is possible that dead Megatron came back in Transformers 2. Let us see how the team of this movie satisfies its audience in the sequel.

There is plenty to mark regarding this character, but the first and prime craze is his part in the film. Megatron is a character from the Transformers. He is going to perform the main role, as always, as an evil leader of the Decepticons. He is going to be as powerful and brutal as always.

Of course, his weapon encourages its callous character, which can annihilate the whole city with only one blast. History says that Megatron once had to face his own weapon because of a witty Autobot. His weapon can be even more caustic if Megatron wants to do that, but it never does it because that would leave him weaker and susceptible.

Resembling formerly seen Transformers, it is expected that we'll witness Megatron in the identical appearance. He has always been a great leader with all leadership qualities combining to support him in formulating, and implementing his strategies lucratively. That presents his character as being a reasonable and premeditated commander of his force.

On watching Transformers 2, you may find him very aggressive and destructive, but the fact is he has always been rational in all his actions. He is not going to be chaotic in this movie.

An interesting thing that viewers will see in this movie will be the pride and honour Megatron shows to his enemy's leader. He has always been like this, and also he carries this quality with his arrogant personality very elegantly. Megatron wants to finish his enemy with his own hands. This is the reason that he never lets anything else harm his enemy except himself.

Megatron could modify himself into a Walther P38 in the opening. That improved his skill to beat his opponent at the correct point. He also had an ability to resize himself according to his situation. Perhaps we can watch this amusing trick in the upcoming movie as well. A different weapon that can be used by Megatron is a barrel placed in his back. Also, he has got talent to fire from his body parts like eyes, head, and hands.

While Megatron has the whole thing to excellence, still we cannot promise his success in the battlefield. The reason behind this can be his overconfidence in his abilities that make him neglect some very significant points while fighting. Another thing that does not praise his over all strategic behaviour is his poor actions with some of his companions. They have to follow him, no matter what, even if they have a better implication. - 23806

The Story of Country Sensation Dixie Chicks

By E Walker

There's old country. There's new country. Then there are the Dixie Chicks.

Natalie Maines, Martie Seidel and Emily Robison have taken the Texas-bred sound of a fiddle, banjo, dobro and crystal-clear vocal harmonies into whole new territory. They are the rare act that comes along a few times in a generation that is destined to shake things up, rewrite the rules and become the new musical trendsetters.

The public has certainly noticed. The Dixie Chicks' first Monument album Wide Open Spaces has become the biggest selling album ever by a country duo or group - racking up some 6 million sales by the time their second album, Fly, was completed. The tremendous sales only demonstrates that while the Dixie Chicks have established themselves as a true country music act, they have also won over audiences outside the country genre. In a music field routinely known for selling to the conservative 30 and over crowd, more than 60% of the Dixie Chicks sales have been to consumers under the age of 25. Their concert audience is as likely to be comprised of entire rows of young women in their early teens and twenties as it is to include middle age couples and entire families complete with pre-teen girls dressed like their musical idols and singing every Dixie Chicks' song word for word.

The press has certainly noticed. Publications from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly and People to Harper's Bazaar, In Style, Seventeen and TV Guide have documented how the Dixie Chicks are bending the music world to their will and making country music more 'hip' than ever. With the wrap-up of 1998, numerous national publications named them the "Breakout Act of the Year" and recognized Wide Open Spaces as one of the "Best Of" albums of the year. USA Today credited the Chicks with single-handedly returning the banjo to country radio and Rolling Stone summed it up when they called them "the badass queenpins of country." At a time when much of the press on country music has lamented the 'sameness' of the sound and the artists, no less than the Los Angeles Times conceded that "the Dixie Chicks are the perfect antidote."

The music industry has certainly noticed. The Dixie Chicks' fellow musicians and industry peers, in particular, have overwhelmingly acknowledged their contribution. In a year's time, they have been honored with two Grammy Awards (Best Country Album and Best Country Vocal Performance Duo/Group), two Country Music Association Awards (Group of the Year and the Horizon Award), plus three Academy of Country Music Awards (including Album of the Year), one American Music Award and two TNN Music Awards. On Nashville's Music Row, where the unspoken business strategy often seems to be "if we can make it work once, we can beat it to death," the music industry has obviously been taking notes. It's likely not a coincidence that almost every record label in Nashville has signed a female trio since the Dixie Chicks exploded on to the scene. But clearly what makes this act work is not just that they are a female trio. The difference is this: There simply is no other act in any musical format that sounds like the Dixie Chicks - 23806
