Michael Bay Posts Tribute Video To Talented Aerial Photographer Alan Purwin
Director Michael Bay (or someone on his team) has cut together a nice tribute video to aerial photographer Alan Purwin, who died earlier this month while working on the new Doug Liman/Tom Cruise film Mena in Colombia (Purwin was a passenger in a plane crash that also took the life of one other person).
Helicopter shots are one of those aspects I tend to take for granted when watching movies, and I've never really spent time considering the amount of work that goes into organizing and executing some of those shots from above. It's an art form all its own, and Purwin was one of the best in his field. Watch the video, and pay attention to the astounding number of credits he has at the very end: this guy is partly responsible for the look of some of your favorite movies.
