The trailers for this summer's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" have shown brief flashes of a military team of paratroopers wearing special "flying" suits. In this video they take a look at how those shots were captured, as an elite team of jumpers were called upon to fly around the skyscrapers of downtown Chicago.
From JSYK:
Director Michael Bay selected a group of precision skydivers to perform stunts in the film after seeing the extreme sportsmen on '60 Minutes' one night. The show featured footage of the skydivers jumping off mountains with the help of wingsuits, which allow the guys to essentially fly (don't worry, they have parachutes, too).This looks ridic. You'll want to click "full screen" for this one, trust me.
The director took the idea of the skydivers and their special suits and incorporated them into the film, which was shot in Chicago -- a far cry from the open air of the mountains.
