This playlist of videos from Rus­sell shows the Sat­urn Astra, that we have now seen a num­ber of times, trav­el­ling very fast up and down the same road with a Go Kart closely fol­low­ing to film the action — nip­ping between cars to get some great shots. You can also clearly see the whole in the wind­shield which was seen in the Frenzy attack video.

These videos show some more of Shia stretch­ing and what looks like a scene of Shia LaBoeuf walk­ing across cam­pus. It may coin­cide with a set report from Mark:

The TF2 crew was shoot­ing at Holder Hall this morn­ing until about 1:30. The scene they were shoot­ing today ended with Shia, Megan, and Ramon run­ning out of the build­ing into the court­yard, which they shot sev­eral times. Once, they ran out into the court­yard, hooked each oth­ers’ arms at the elbow, and did a lit­tle dance (clearly try­ing to alle­vi­ate some of the bore­dom of doing the exact same thing over and over). Isabel Lucas was vis­i­ble at one point, but I couldn’t tell if she was involved in the shot.

Once the prin­ci­pals were done, the crew shot a group of about 20–30 stu­dent extras run­ning into and out of the dorm’s west­ern entry­way (the same one that Shia, Megan, and Ramon had run out of). It was pretty funny to watch the extras run, because they were being fun­neled in and out of the door­way in a big cir­cle, so the kids that had just run out of the build­ing would cir­cle around and run back in until the shot was over. In both cases the crew used a smoke machine in the dorm’s south­west hall­way, which was vis­i­ble from one of the windows.

These great videos come from Philly­Film­Girl, the first shows Megan Fox and Ramon Rodriguez stretch­ing on the pave­ment, noth­ing too fancy. How­ever the sec­ond video is really inter­est­ing — here we see a pup­pet like crea­ture attack­ing the wind­screen of a car, which also has a whole punched through it. This is clearly a small Trans­former, most likely the return of the fre­netic Frenzy.

Bib­lio­cone has posted some shots of a strange masked man get­ting into the back of the Sat­urn, coin­cid­ing with some in-car yelling:

Just Jared have posted a set of pic­tures show­ing both Shia LaBoeuf and Megan Fox on set at Princeton:

Yes­ter­day film­ing began at Prince­ton. Scott has pro­vided this set report:

I work in Prince­ton and just watched the TF2 crew crash a sil­ver Sat­urn Astra into the installed lamp­post on the cor­ner of Wash­ing­ton Road and William Street around 2 p.m. today. Before the crash itself they ran a few “test crashes,” where the stunt dri­ver screeched to a halt a foot or two before hit­ting the post, with the cam­era (on a boom) fol­low­ing the action from above. The actual crash knocked the ground-level cover off the post and ripped off the car’s front bumper. After the crash the dri­ver backed up slightly, then drove for­ward again for a few feet with the bumper under the front wheels, then stopped, opened the driver’s side door, and fell to the ground. After the shot was over, the dri­ver put the bumper in the car’s back­seat and drove the car down Wash­ing­ton Road (headed south), and as it passed me I could see that the front wind­shield had a hole the size of a base­ball in it (with the appro­pri­ate spi­der web­bing pat­tern in the sur­round­ing glass). I’m not sure if that was there before the crash or not (I was about two blocks away from the crash itself). Accord­ing to one of the PA’s the next shot won’t hap­pen until tonight, though she didn’t say where.

Shia Film­ing at Princeton:

A bar­rage of images have also been unloaded onto the inter­net by BP, JD, JFuller, Cheese­burger and Mike:

We saw the first pic­tures of the Chevy Trax dur­ing the film­ing on Front Street a cou­ple of days ago, but now we have some great video of them all in action, rac­ing down the street at high speed thanks to shiganamichick44:

These videos from EfraineQuinones firstly show the trio of auto­bots, Bum­ble­bee, Beat and Trax briefly in action — prov­ing they can cor­ner at slow speeds in new syn­chro­nized for­ma­tion. Ramon, Shia and Megan exit and head into the shop, before com­ing back out and glee­fully skip­ping down the road.

Looks like Shia LaBoeuf, Megan Fox, Bum­ble­bee, the Chevy Beat and the Chevy Trax turned up for film­ing at the East­ern State Penitentiary.

VDG was on hand to get images of the crew and auto­mo­biles turn­ing up, even get­ting close enough to cap­ture a shot of the rims on the Chevy Trax — show­ing a very nice Auto­bot logo in the cen­ter of the hub cap!

Faded Sil­ver Screen were also on loca­tion to cap­ture the vehi­cles com­ing and going on Fair­mount Avenue:

I couldn’t get inside the prison, or get any decent pic­tures but I watched them unload trucks for a while. They were tak­ing in lexan blast shields they put cam­eras behind when there is an explo­sion or sparks nearby. It seemed like an awful lot of sup­port trucks. Tons of light­ing and rig­ging. I would bet there will be some effect/pyrotechnics tak­ing place, con­sid­er­ing they’ve been prep­ping this for three days and the scope of the stuff they are tak­ing in.

Loren­z­tom has also got a cou­ple more shots of the Paris set at City Hall:
