And that's just off the top of my head.

Setting up shots can be tricky and experienced crew are usually desired to work out which lenses and working out distances, if you see someone with a tape measure measuring from the camera to a certain point that's what they're doing. You're going to have the lighting crew, because the lighting set up is lot different from taking pictures with your hand held camcorder. You only need to look at AvP2 to see how an inexperienced lighting crew can ruin a film with poor lighting. Then you have the sound crew with the boom standing out to make them obvious. But you need to remember that above all the location needs a power supply and there will be an Electrical gang.

 

Did you see two hobbits with them? They would be small – only children to your eyes.

Asking for a friend

 

nightangel The black tent is often set up on location shooting. I've noticed it used by directors and cinematographers to review footage and shot setups. Basically, a tent with screens and a chair, a director travelling fort.

I wonder if they shot any day-for-night. Was there night shooting? I would think the light pollution might be visible for quite a distance.

 

I think some film even today still has to stay out of complete sunlight. They have to be canned and sealed before making way to editing department. Hence perhaps sun resistance tents.

 

That totally looks like a beehive

 

Jesus, Star Wars fans get more information than a black ops reconnaissance team.

 

You think? I would say that Security have done a pretty good job of shutting down this Shoot.

 

Is this supposed to mimic Skellig Michael ?

 

Yes. All scenes shot in Ireland are supposed to mimic Skellig Michael or the planet which it is on.

 

The police that guarded the Puzzlewood set for TFA told locals that they were filming Countryfile.

 

seriously? that set doesn't look good enough? it's on the side of a ******* cliff!

 

nightangel Wow! First Dubrovnik, now Malin Head? You really get around. The Bothan Spies have nothing on you.

 

Wow. You know most of the audience will just assume that is CGI. Seen for that angle with the cliffs I totally get why they chose that spot.

 

Nightangel should wear a Garindan outfit when working clandestine operations.

 

So, where/when are we expecting shooting to take place next - nothing going on at the moment?

 

This tweet from just now - https://twitter.com/lensdan/status/732515593732161536 - suggests something happening in Browhead - I guess the white lorries in the picture are the give-away, but I can't see anything else.

This article - http://www.independent.ie/entertain...ll-to-malin-and-heads-for-mizen-34721273.html - gives a few rough details. I think it has been mentioned before, but it's fascinating to imagine how the mines will be used.

 

ChipRock, thank you for that - that's the first time i've seen mines mentioned. How intriguing...

 

What am I looking at with the picture in the tweet feed? I see .. cows

So schedule per Irish Examiner (AKA @Nightangels upcoming Irish holiday ) is as follows:
Monday Tuesday (17/5) - Wednesday Thursday(19/5) : Cork County - Daisy, Mark .. no Adam .. Jedi training? (well.. what else)
Thursday Friday (20/5)- ? ?? (3/6) : Kerry County, Ceann Sibeal Headland - Acht-too huts / First Jedi temple

21 days allegedly blocked out.. 4 down .. so .. a LOT to be filmed in Kerry?

And with the rain effects and all, PLUS the alleged night shoots between Mark and Daisy in Pinewood where it looked like the Jedi Temple beehive huts were also reconstructed, I am guessing that something exciting happens on location.

Any ides how many stunt guys are are around? Specifically .. anyone resembling the KOR? It really wonder if they will be filming the rain KOR scenes from Rey's vision.

 

Indeed! I'm sure the tweeter (?) is referring to the large trucks, which it seems are parked on what is normally a camp site. I'm just having a look on Google maps and if you follow the rough road up past that spot you get some nice rocky cliffs, so I bet they're doing some shots with Rey and Luke there. There's no obvious structures in that photograph, not like the other locations, so if this is a Jedi training session they're probably just running around getting some nice scenery.

Those Setbuilders are the Secret Stars of this Movies.

 

@soul8luosThanks! Changed accordingly..

 

That mysterious KL10REY twitter person says that Adam is due back in Ireland for filming tomorrow (is still in Cannes today).

ETA: That Loop Lighthouse site is stunning - wonder if the Lighthouse itself will make it in?

 

Ah thanks!

Is this this the same person who first said that Adam would be filming in Ireland? Can anyone remember who first mentioned it (they have extra cred in my books)...
