Night shoot clapperboard


Obviously it's a renegade Canadian spy bureau:

QUEBEC
INTELLIGENCE



Many of le Quebecois tend not to consider themselves Canadian anyway, so maybe they have formed their own "national" intelligence agency. Unfortunately, the French for "intelligence" is "renseignement" and le Quebecois would certainly never use the Anglophone word (in fact, it's not allowed on signage in Quebec), so your theory is already full of holes. :P


I hope Canada's involved :cooltongue: Nice find, single-o-seven!

Definitely not an A though, so no surprise appearance from Quantum.

Several members of production - including Mendes and Craig - have said that SKYFALL is unrelated to the previous two films.

If there were such a thing as "Quebec Intelligence" (there's not), it would most surely be written in French.

It's more like "QUE____ International" or something. Legitimate business front for some otherwise nefarious purposes!

Can anyone tell if that really is Chinese - I'm not so sure it is.

My initial instinct was that it was Chinese, albeit stylised for a logo. There must be someone among the members of this board who can read Mandarin though - any takers?

No, they were filming at Ascot Racecourse? Taking the role of an airport.

The visible characters are 鹊互, Què Hú.

Roughly translating to Magpie Mutual, although there's obviously a part cut off.

Out of curiosity, what job does she have in the production? I looked around her twitter but couldn't find anything specific...

It appears that she's an extra. I think anyone official in the production would be under strict confidentiality laws about what they can reveal.

Night shoot clapperboard


Very, very glad to see these wide-angle lenses (35mm, 27mm) being used, that sort of thing for Bond interiors fell out of favour after the 60s and 70s unfortunately.

I knew Deakins would be a class act.


Do you know what angle lenses the last two films used, Shrubster?


It’s slightly difficult to talk about the last two in comparison to the others, because they were not filmed using anamorphic lenses. But that aside, CR does make some attempt to use wide-angel photography in a bold way (as does GE for that matter), but nothing as striking and beautiful as films like GF, TB and MR. QoS, well, who can say, we are never actually permitted to focus on anything long enough to tell. Seriously, it’s pretty conventional and dull from what I could make out.

This lack of the wide-angle photography started with FYEO. John Glenn (a man with all the visual artistry of your average suburban accountant) used what looks like the dreadfully dull 52mm for most of his interior dramatic sequences. His films remain the most photographically banal, with a possible challenge form TWINE.

In this photo we see that Bond is staring at his hand. If you look carefully you will notice that the hand seems to have a deep wound, so I suppose that Bond has just had a close combat probably inside the National Gallery. Your thoughts?

Nah look at your own palm. There's a line in your hand in that same location. Think he's adjusting his cuff as well.

Where are you? Where's the camera? I need one of those Bond surveillance equipment gadgets to find where all the bugs are!

Yeah... you're right. It's the way his hand is curling that makes the fold appear clearly defined with the shade.

The playing with your cuffs thing is very Brosnan. I don't recall Connery or Moore messing around with their cuffs. Tsk.
