Was on my way to Foam the other Thursday when I suddenly saw a racing boat come hurtling towards me. With a great bang it collided with another half-sunken boat and flew through the air. Had my camera in hand but not yet properly set when I took the picture. Turned out to be a shot for Amsterdammed 2. A sequel to a 1980 film by Dick Maas. A few steps further on I passed some of the lead actors who briefly looked back at the monitor to see if the stunt had been successful. Huib Stapel one of the lead actors had certainly just dried off and was standing with a hot water pitcher clamped against him and a towel on his neck also looking back. Of course the whole scene took place in the rain while the weather was very nice but a German film team provided the perfect rain on the canal.
It is great that you could document the action, and catch this speedboat in the air. What fun to see the actors working.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAction shot! The sun is helpfully focussing on the speedboat!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a shot you caught.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHa, great. Right time, right place.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat photos
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSometimes timing makes all the difference. As a bicycle rider, I like the bikes in the foreground of your first photo.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDe repente te has visto metido de lleno, en la acción de una película. Ha sido una buena experiencia para poder compartir.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFeliz domingo de descanso.
Whoa!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt’s fascinating to think about how the weather was pleasant while they had to create the perfect rain for the scene. Filmmaking truly has its unique challenges, and it's great that you got a front-row seat to such an action-packed moment. It sounds like a fun day out, and I hope you captured some great memories (and photos) from it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWishing you a fantastic weekend! I'd love for you to check out my new post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/10/my-visit-to-hunterian-art-gallery-in.html
A fabulous action shot.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt’s also fascinating to hear about the lead actors being right there in the midst of it all. Huib Stapel must have had quite the experience dealing with the rain effects while staying warm! Thanks for sharing this behind-the-scenes glimpse of filmmaking in Amsterdam; it sounds like a unique experience. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, very cool!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat's a great shot you managed to get.
