With a lot of people walking up and down the street, there isn't much focus on the sidelines. Not when the main action is that of a dangling mustang in the middle of the city.



Captured early in the evening of an August night in 2005, the scene features a green blue, or some sort of turquoise, mustang above the fountain of Martin Place in the city. In the foreground of this photo, a member of the crew finds himself with the attention of a brunette.

One of the questions she asks is what the "Red Sun" production signs were. The bloke responds that they're a cover of sorts for Superman Returns filming right before the city's eyes.

Chitter chatter a little later and the man finds her phone number in with the rest of his gear. Eavesdropping on parts, it was on the hit of her trying to find some work in production or make-up that prompts the exchange.

 

Bright city lights for the night time shooting of Superman Returns last year sees a mustang dangling in the air for quite a while.



A sea green coloured mustang hangs from cables above the fountain at Martin Place. Taken on a cold, and getting colder, night in August, the lights were bright and the crowds thick. Along with Martin Place, Pitt Street itself on the cross section is for the most part taken over by the crew.

The man at the bottom of the frame is taking a photo of a man behind a camera. Three levels of something right there. Not really the recursive example of the Droste effect. More likely closer to Las Meninas (Maids of Honor) by Diego Vel?zquez. Royals of a different kind though.

Seconds just after taking this shot, a burly bloke comes quick to kibosh any further snapping of the scene. Even with the flash turned off.
