I was able to get behind security last night and take some photos of where the scene on Chancellor Street starts. While I was there they were using stand-ins for Sam's parents. The scene doesn't involve his parents being chased; it has them running away from a building collapse. While I was there they had 4 extras on three Vespas and a stunt driver in the Smart car. The Smart is just trying to get away from the building collapse as well and drives around Sam's parents. The video is of the beginning of the scene and shows the Smart car taking off as well as the extras running back and forth across the street for background footage. The coolest thing about the night was that I was literally inches away from Bay, three separate times. He actually picked me and some other girl to be extras in the scene but neither one of us was actually an extra, we both were behind the gates because we said we lived there. It was a great night!
Photo 1 is of someone setting up a floral stand outside city hall. They had about 50 extras around there at the time but we left before they filmed anything. Photo 2 is of a Toyota Yaris (I think) and a Honda Element, both with French plates that I captured in a small base area at 13th and Market. Photos 3 and 4 are of Chancellor Street before the filming. You can see the Smart Car and three Vespas as well as an older car that I'm not sure makes it in the scene. Photo 5 is of the start of where the scene takes place; you can see the older car and three Vespas. 169 is a photo of the Stunt driver in the Smart car. Photo 6 is some extras and the empty Smart Car.
Thanks to Jim C for the pictures.
