First Production Pictures at Bethlehem

Thanks to Jason H. here are some photos he took around 6PM EST at Bethlehem Steel as the crew prepared to start filming Transformers II. The pictures show more of the "set" with the Chinese dressing to help sell it as a city. Also you can see the security that is in place, preparation of two "Chinese" copters, a "Chinese" dressed car, and more (Tyrese on set pics here).

The pictures, despite my jumbling them up are all on the same facing structure. Using the large sign as a mark, some photos are from the left of the sign, some directly on that area and the copters are off to the right. It appears that there are two copters, both for use in the scene but one tasked to shoot the scene from the air. If you look closely you can see a round dome on the nose of the helicopter that is probably the camera housing.

Once again a thank you to Jason who went through some hoops with all the security to get these pictures. To my knowledge they are the first I have seen online.
