Music Hey everybody what's going on welcome to the Joker Box today we're going to talk about the behind the scenes long time friend 25 years Brian cinematographer along with me for this Joker return to Gotham so what I've been wanting to do this for a while and my vision was just since we live you know in Chicago have the Joker take advantage of it have the Joker walked down the street where the truck flip scene was and that's all I had when Brian and I work on stuff together we never script anything I don't know it's just not our way we just basically here's how we prepared for it I told him I had this idea to have the Joker walking down the street towards the iconic building and we got in the car and go and then we just got there and it was just this is how we work all right get a bunch of cool establishing shots from different angles and we did that and then it was just put together that's that's how we made it well thanks for watching and we'll see in the next video no that about sums it all up right I mean no skimmed nothing no scripting well you had a concept we always have just concepts there's no scripting it's like Joker walks into a deli go and then we just film things like rapidly because we read each other's minds and we just put it together as we make it why did the Joker cross the road watch that trailer and you'll see when it was pretty cool because when we were filming it yeah um there were a handful of people from like about a block away at the end they were sporadic sporadic they kept stopping watching I'm sure that there's got to be footage on people's grams uh share just from you know curiosity people with their cell phones so there was one younger guy that one of the first ones he was like kind of like standing like like you don't see me he was like next to one of the pillars and he was like just filming like he wanted to say something but he didn't want to bother us and he was just like filming and then there was like groups of people intermittently sporadically filming from like filming us from like half a block away which is pretty cool and then it's like there's a movie being shot so I'm gonna put it out in the face you're just gonna lift it up right now go ahead I was filming the pillar shot with a Joker walking and I didn't see police come up from behind us near the Dubrayan and so Brian's like it's the cops I saw it out of the corner of my eye only because I saw their light that they have on the side of the vehicle you know that they might use the shine at night or whatever so I saw that and I was like normal cars don't have that it's an unmarked vehicle hmm they're stopping for us they're obviously stopping for us and I walk up to him and right away the cop the driver there's two of them in there he's like you guys filming a bad man movie you filming a Joker movie like he was excited so not what I expected I'm like yeah we are which I didn't get nervous but I was thinking they were gonna ask for permits because Chicago is really bad for that you got to have permits and I'm like you guys want to be in it and right away no no we can't be like you know I get it we're not gonna film your face your badges and like can you handcuff him yeah that would have been a surprise to the Joker for sure well I was talking about about you initially I'm like can you handcuff like you or maybe like like I'm the prop hands yeah the Joker like okay yeah or one of the Joker's henchmen like that would have been perfect could you handcuff him can we just throw him in the squad could we just handcuff and they're like no no no no no no we're not gonna do that all right and action well I think you know there was a part where the Joker was seen in a parking garage even before we got to the final shoot location where the Joker was seen in the mask by a whole bunch of people right on the ground level um because the Joker just kind of looked out onto the street and there was literally just people dropping their bags and looking up going what but you know they thought the parking garage I'm sure was about to be robbed they might have even got on their phones at that moment you got uh pretty much abandoned street with some tourists around not many and because that a lot of couples holding hands I noticed yeah screw those guys yeah I mean you got the Joker dressed walking down the middle of the street there were times where carers were coming and I'm like just get the mask on let's just film and get the hell out of here you know because I didn't want the cops to stop us and ask for a permit because that's really expensive oh this is a killer shot look at this if I could incorporate you walking maybe just just walk right now just walk right no walk right here oh just walk on the the ledge yep keep going that's fine it's all I need that's great so what do we spend down there like an hour we filmed out a sequence we just basically we just filmed keeping with the premise of I want to move walk downtown that's it I just want to move walk down the street like he's gonna do something and we just did a whole bunch of cool you know cinematography angles and shots awesome I didn't even follow you even though we're in Chicago there's the Gotham border trade interesting how did that happen interesting yes I literally took a still frame I cut it out where it says Chicago and it was on a certain angle and it's like okay Gotham okay there's a G in Chicago so I crapped out the G from the actual photograph image that I took a screen capture of and I moved it to the front that's one layer and then oh there's an O in Chicago there's the O for Gotham and you get the rest of the the idea for the T there was a T that I took from the board of trade so I moved trade over to the now I need an H and there's an H in Chicago so we're getting there but the problem was the M there's no M in Chicago border trade so what I did was I took the H from Chicago crapped that out and then the horizontal line for the H I crapped around that then it turned it on a 45 degree angle air brushed out the bottom layer and then I turned it the other way so it's like to make the M for Gotham and I just air brushed the lower parts of that H out so I just took the horizontal line for the H broke it in half and made the M angle because when you're looking at it from a certain angle some letters were facing you and pointing away because they were grabbed from other angles in the shot that makes sense I suppose and you guys might think oh my god that's just crazy kid but it's well worth it though in fact at the day they were filming the dark night I worked in the building the Chicago border trade that iconic building in dark night and I took the day off and my friends were calling me saying they're filming something they're filming the dark night down here I missed it I would have been right there I could have what they were standing against the building watching that whole thing being filmed you imagine you were coming out from work that day and suddenly you know you you have a bat wing literally in your lap you know I could just if you got enough patrons would you seriously consider making feature at or whatever it might be yeah I think so what about you I think so too I think you could probably I mean would you we have a lot of talent in this area as far as acting goes I've always felt uncomfortable asking for money and the only reason I'm doing it is not to make money but if we do this and I'd like to I know you and I could pull it off yeah I'm
