Helicopter Work on "The Matrix II"
from the SMH today......
Sydney CBD caught in the Matrix
6:02 PM July 6
"A low-flying helicopter and camera crews are set to take over parts of central Sydney as location shooting begins on the two Matrix sequels."
Anyone got more info on this job? I have been out of town for a few months and am interested in the details. Which company, aircraft, etc?
I remember the first Matrix using the Hevilift B212 (I think?) to come up with some pretty spectacular scenes.
I was tempted to paste this on Dunnunda but could imagine the bored, disgruntled stiffies dragging it off topic into a debate about which airline was at fault for the Matrix being filmed in Sydney instead of Melbourne (or similar)
Anyone with details???

Hi Gibbo,
Caught a bit on the news last night, seems like the abc AS355 chopper with the nose ball .
Part of the filming involves landing in the middle of town (hence the closed sections) the ac itself won't be in the film, just the footage (probably computer impose a super-duper sci-fi flying thingy there, or maybe just a different chopper )
There's bound to be a lot of other ac involved but only the landing in town was the news "highlight"
Where Ya been (hols somewhere warm
)

Bang on Paco...........Spacecam.
Do you have any idea of speed/handling changes with the spacecam ( It looks like a fairly large installation, I guess a heap of weight aft for CG to start with).
I thought Wescam did a nose ball too, or was that more a chin ball???
Anyone (Paco) there with operational experience/stories with this type of kit??
